2021.01.20 Back to the Future 35th Anniversary Skateboard Decks (DKNG)

I'm not a skater, but having this deck on my wall would have been a beautiful piece of art. Admittedly, I'm a sucker for DKNG's work. They have a style I like, and already own prints from them. These sold out immensely quick, but I still love the work. #

2021.01.13 Draw With Your 3D Printer

I love the concept of utilizing a 3D printer for other purposes. I haven't implemented this myself, but the directions all seems really straight-forward if you're already into the hobby (and happy to have the same printer). #

2021.01.13 The Ultimate Texas Tacopedia

I've had this page open for weeks and weeks. Not only does it make me want to go to each of these places to try these tacos, but it also makes me want to be a bit more adventurous in my own taco making. #

2020.05.08 Visualizing Mathematics with 3D Printing

I'm not very interested in the math aspect of this, but the models seem like they'd be cool to have printed. Maybe having the models would help me care more about the actual math of it all. Who knows. #

2020.04.15 The Board Game Remix Kit

I really like alternate rules to existing games. Here, they've put together a great-looking set of alternatives to at least Monopoly, Scrabble, Clue, and Trivial Pursuit. Perfect for so many of us being at home these days. #

2020.04.15 Generative Placeholders

I don't do as much web development as I used to do, but dynamic placeholder image creation is always handy, and I'm somewhat fascinated by generative art. This checks all those boxes. Plus, you can easily self-host it, if you so desire. #

2020.01.07 xxiivv.com

I love what's going on here, though I definitely don't fully understand it. I originally was introduced to @neauoire through their work during Inktober and their Neauismea work. I'm still not familiar with the work it's based on, but I kept going back throughout the month. Regardless, the site, approach, work, GitHub stuff - I'm a fan of it all. #

2020.01.07 Kottke: What do you care about?

I've had this tab open for months (let's ignore the irony in that), but I think it has more to do with the constant message that I can be reminded of:

Know who you are, what you care about, and the difference you’re trying to make in the world.

I love Kathy Sierra's tips to combat information anxiety (or modern FOMO). Potentially what keeps speaking to me is summarized in this quote from Gandhi in the linked article by Doug Bradshaw:

Happiness is when what you think, what you say, and what you do are in harmony. #

2020.01.06 DKNG - The National at L.A.'s Greek Theater Gig Poster

They've nailed the Southern California beach scene here. I'd love to have a copy of this print, devoid of the elements for the band/concert/everything else. So good. #

2020.01.06 PuzzleBox Generator

Late last year I got into 3D printing. For Christmas for my kids, I made a few of these, and then hid gifts inside. It was fantastic. I didn't want to post it on here, since who knows how tech-savvy kids are these days, and I didn't want to spoil the surprise. I've printed a variety of these, in different sizes, complexity, and with different options. They're great. #
