I was today years old when I learned about the `at` command in the unix shell??
Very useful for if I want to lazily do something non-critical in the near future. Like I upload a file for a friend, send them the link, tell them it's getting deleted in an hour, and then do

If you have a lot of art: paintings, drawings etc. HOW do you enjoy them?
For a long time I couldn't afford much art. So I always framed it right away and hung it up. But, the walls are a little crowded now. Considering a system where I rotate the art every half year? Seasonally? I would also […]

Was randomly reminded of this little drawing toy I made on a plane on the way back from Eyeo 2015. Very simple but I still like it! I think 80% of the charm comes from the dropdown menu.

I think the main thing that I like about html+js game engines is they make creating menus easier. This is because you're writing games in a menu engine instead of menus in a game engine. And at least from where I sit... the former is actually kind of easier, or at least it moves the friction to […]

Signal's "Safety Number" is an important feature that generates a pop-up which allows you to "mark as verified" a man-in-the-middle attacker. This way the attacker is verified and we can all feel better about the whole messy business.
