Rebuilding my portfolio, and fell into a fun little detour. A dither and shadow effect on my Identity Disc and Sheet.

Started as one hover effect. Now building into a small tool, exploring how to make dithers and shaders respond to their parent elements.

Work in progress, but if this is your kind of rabbit hole, let me know.

@krispuckett I like to read for fun but as a slow reader making time is always the challenge. Reading to consume always sucks.

I continue to try and rely on audio or visual, but I at least haven’t found the right option. Maybe as audio model pricing drops it becomes possible.

@VadimCarazan I always remind myself: imposter syndrome is you challenging yourself and growing to surpass your current limits.

They say the average person has 6,000 thoughts a day. Moms have that many by 9AM

Brooke Travis (@btravisNYC) leads Marketing + Comms at Sandbar, where no two days ever look the same. Stream helps capture the never ending to do’s that would otherwise be forgotten in the morning chaos

We’re spotlighting different ways people live, work, & think with Stream in our new series — ”What’s on Your Mind?”

@shadcn @parkerhendo Engagement. Modern age of banner ads? If it moves people look.
