Hello new friends! Have you played Seasonspree yet?
It's a cute little game about cute little animal friends, and you control the flow of time by walking left & right. It's really good, and not very long, because your time is valuable!

I'm struggling with Godot about as much as I did with Unity, just in different ways. It isn't fun yet, and I have to force myself to keep working through the tutorials.
But nothing would make me feel worse about myself as a human with a working brain than sacrificing my creativity to this.

There's an option on Bluesky that makes Alt text buttons larger, but not an option to move said buttons off the freaking images so they aren't blocking any content.
Just thought I'd point that out. Send me a quick message if you're in the market for a product designer who'd never let that slide.

What's a realization you've made that you never would have guessed was true?
For me, it's the fact that Beirut, DeVotchKa and Gogol Bordello are all American bands.

Seriously, don't use essay questions at all. Not in the initial form, and not in the auto-reply email directly after. If you have questions that aren't answered by the cover letter and CV, so do we. Schedule a dang interview like an adult.

I need to remember that I can't deal with social gatherings in warehouses. Everything's too loud, my voice doesn't carry, and I can't get a single thing done. And the fact that they've turned it into a pizza place doesn't hide the fact that it's still a big echoey building full of noise.

Had a dream that someone's car died in the street, but it was a manual (not common in the US these days), so we helped push it so the driver could pop the clutch and get it going again. And then in my dream, I asked, "Why can't they make a button that bump-starts automatic cars like this?"

I can't believe this is still happening in 2026. Why do we let screen readers get away with this garbage? It's like they haven't made a single improvement in decades. Hire a dang research and product team, ya cheap jerks.
Hi, I use a screenreader and FONTS BREAK SCREENREADERS!!! Please be mindful of people with screenreaders.

I do appreciate the customization Godot gives us. I've got all sorts of colors now, I tightened up the graphics on level 3, and I got rid of the rounded corners on everything! Nothing's more refreshing to me than a simple, unpretentious rectangle.

Bailing on one of the tutorials less than halfway through feels bad, but I just can't figure out why my code isn't working like it should. At least I have other tutorials I can start instead.
I miss classrooms. Those worked so much better for me.

I've never really considered moving from UX Lead to UX Manager, but I think I've got the chops for it. Anyone here have experience making that switch?
As a lead, I typically end up doing a lot of the footwork, which is fine, but I want to have more of a say in the strategy and direction.

Sure, Rian Johnson's a decent writer, but Benoit Blanc has now had three chances to use the phrase "knifin' around" and he's failed us every time. So I'm starting to think he isn't the genius we all assumed he was.

The Portland light festival is technically happening now, but there isn't much going on during the weekdays. I did get a pretty rad photo tonight using a reflection in a window though. This was using a Lensbaby Sweet 50.
