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 new blog and free newsletter are here! I'm so excited to get to share more with you all when it comes to emotional art, zines in progress, tech shenanigans, and so much more. Please subscribe if you're interested! No spam I promise!
  • Starting a brand-new project titled gen.em.otion: A local, self-made generative image model trained exclusively on every piece of art I’ve ever made and the emotional stories that go with them. It won’t be available to the public, but I plan on demoing it lots and showing it in gallery shows. (Don’t you worry, this will not be the way I make art going forward. I’ll still emotionally labor over it by hand lol)
  • Adding new features to Prolific—currently working on the “Certified Fine Art” feature for storing, referencing, and editing entries where each entry serves as a single piece of “fine art” I made and am selling
  • Running the Emotional by Design store is one of my life’s dreams. I’ve been building it slowly on Shopify and want to soon bring on more vendors, start building my social presence, and setup some pop-up markets!
  • 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!
  • Working hard on bash scripts to help aid backups of my cloud and local servers, daily-driver laptop, and certain cloud platforms. I'm trying to get to a 3-2-1 backup plan but need to setup some infrastructure first
  • I converted from G00gle's analytics platform to Plausible! I'm using the free community version and so far it's been great. It was easy to setup and it's so much cleaner and direct than its predecessor

What I'm loving

  • Recently I’ve been gently dipping my toes into using LLMs (first ChatGPT but I've decided I like Claude more) for helping me with things like preparing lunches and breaking down steps for building my shop in addition to working on gen.em.otion (Listen I know LLMs and this AI bubble/boom are touchy topics. I write more about my thoughts and relationship with AI tools in my new gen.em.otion blog post)

Miscellaneous

  • 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
