A short (mental) film about what happens when I lose sight of my original intent.

Appwrite - Alright
I think I've found my preferred back-end platform for auth, data, and file storage. So far, everything has been smooth and easy, with the exception of registration validation.

Tides Come In, Tides Go Out; Teaching Versus Learning
My development project is on hold (surprise!) so I'm considering 3D modeling again (more surprise!) but I still have a lot to learn...but nowhere to learn it from (saddest surprise).

Thinking about web rings, and what we'd need to do in order to bring back a smaller, more intimate World Wide Web.
