If you missed last week's episode of The Callback, you missed a certified banger, according to my old coworker.
He doesn't lie, so you should really check it out.

Here's the full hero section from my upcoming Prismic course... this one took the longest out of everything. It has to be *just right*.
The loose keycaps are in a group and I just scale the group up to make them fly away. Lots of fun tricks in this one!

Here's the keycap color changer we're building in my upcoming Prismic course.
I kept the animation simpler for this one, but I think it's still pretty fun to play with.
Made with Three.js and @gsap-greensock.bsky.social. 3d model by the wonderful @leifs.website

Explosion on scroll.
We cover this in the upcoming course. Animating all the switches and keycaps is pretty involved, but worth it for the effect!

For the upcoming keyboard course we needed some product images and @leifs.website came through with some serious fire. All modeled and rendered in Blender.
We're using these in a bento box component we build in the course.
Please tell him how absolutely gorgeous these are.

Here's a sneak peek of a component from my upcoming YouTube course! I'll give you 5 guesses as to what we're building this site to sell...
Stack is Next.js, Prismic, GSAP, React three fiber. Lots of fun 3d interactions in this one - coming soon!

Well, I had a good run. I'll never forget the friends I made, the memories we shared, the furry activities and traditions we partook. It really was three of the hours of my life.

Okay to make up for yesterday's slog through AI art slop, I purchased some wall art I know wasn't AI generated. These gorgeous felt pennants I originally spotted back on a trip to Banff.
Yoho & Co has a bunch of gorgeous pennants of a ton of American and Canadian states and national parks

I hate carousels, but I love this effect. It's so cool what adding some white space can do for an effect.

The work I can find of hers is way weirder than these. I can't find many landscapes or pointillism style flowers, but just so many polkadots.
I like them a lot, but don't want to hang AI generated art in my home.

Can someone help me figure out if this art is AI generated? I found a bunch of really cool pieces but they seem AI
It says it's a Yayoi Kusama print, but when I dig through museums for her work, there's nothing like these there.
