Now

This is our dog, Milly. She's a huge softie, so friendly, and a pinch pitiful

This now page is a running log of what’s going on in my life. Sometimes short and sweet is perfect!

Projects

My next zine, The Journey North, is getting closer to being done. It’s a little different than my other zines as it’s almost entirely poetry. So hyped for you to see it!
Work on gen.em.otion (my local, self-made generative image model trained exclusively on my art) has been slow going. Turns out, writing detailed and storied descriptions for each piece (up to three times per piece to show process) is exhausting. Who knew?
Purchased a UniFi Layer 3 switch (the Enterprise 8 PoE) and am SO hyped to dive into it and learn more about networking
Made some small modifications to my website! A revised color palette, a new serif typeface, and a new "More works" page are all live
I'm a Tailscale user and I love their new services feature that exposes services on a node as their own node
Just finished retooling my zines South Pole and Slut to be digest (5.5" x 8.5") size. They were my first two zines and were designed to be 8.5" x 11" and 5.5" x 5.5" respectively. Now all my zines are digest size so I wanted to keep the uniformity

A few weeks ago I went ahead and started trying out Kagi, a privacy-focused, ad-free search engine. I've been exclusively using it for search and woah it's phenomenal! I was also using their new Orion browser, but it was a bit too buggy for me. It just exited beta a few days ago though, so I think I need to give it another go! Would absolutely recommend
Obsessed doesn't even begin to describe how I feel about Rosalía's new album Lux. I have more feelings about it in my next newsletter but damn. What an album
Caribou Coffee's seasonal spicy mocha has been keeping me warm. It'll be retired soon though, which is very sad

Constantly drooling over folding phones and wishing I wasn't so deep in Apple's ecosystem so I could live the life of a folding phone nerd. Sad
Perfecting my everyday carry bag/setup. Expect a blog post on that very soon!
