Oop, a bit late this week, sorry! But the positive is that I was more distracted with spending time with partners and friends 🥰

I have a bit more travel coming up this year, which I’m excited to try doing a bit of recording during. Because I can’t not be producing something at all times it seems.

The biggest challenge that I’ve had personally this week, and let’s be often frequently, is that I don’t know what to focus on and end up either jumping around too much, or freezing up with analysis paralysis. Thanks ADHD!

I have been working on a few coding projects for fun this week, and the past few weeks, including:

  • A WordPress block to display filterable portfolio/project pages, for personal use
  • A WordPress plugin for digital gardens (yes still!)
  • A browser extension to make curating content for this newsletter even easier in the future
  • Lesson outlines for my new coding channel which is coming one day still, I swear
  • A ✨secret✨ project that may or may not happen period, but I’m thinking on

I also have gotten back to physical crafting! This week’s vlog is about calibrating my 3D printer, laser engraver, and Cricut machine to make stickers.

See yall in a week or two, and Happy Thanksgiving US friends! Happy normal day all of my other wonderful friends here! 💝

I don’t talk about AI much, but I admittedly have tried a few tools recently and they are both impressive and a little scary when they do work.

4.5 Billion Years in 1 Hour – Kurzgesagt – In a Nutshell
