A few weeks ago, ended up on the Wikipedia page for Wordle and was struck by how whimsical its origin story is. Josh Wardle came up with the concept for the game in 2013, and he finished the prototype in 2014 before putting it aside. He...
Found out today that I have TWO interviews lined up! I've never had a job in my life, just volunteer experiences (which I loved, but still -- I want money!!)
The only time I've ever "believed" was when I was a child. I would have nightmares about burning in hell, my body becoming part of a molten pit of fire. Luckily, I grew up in a really diverse area and went to a public school, so I made...
strugglesInitially, I did the detox because I felt some old tech habits creeping back in (phone in bed and turning off site blockers in particular). I ended up making good on my promises. Counting the days without siteblockers (20 day...
Days without turning off site blockers: 20 Today I spent 30 minutes doing interpretive dances to ringtones and alarms with my sister.
I unexpectedly got a new phone yesterday, a Google Pixel 10. No, I didn't install Graphene OS on it, or any OS. I can't -- it's contracted. I'm de-Googling the best I can by turning off all the slop and bloatware and using FOSS apps. The...

Days without turning off site blockers: 16 I'm starting to get my appetite for art back, finally!
Days without turning off site blockers: 15 My first class had to do persuasive speeches, and so many people did social media and why it was bad for you. It was so heartwarming to see people actually recognize how terrible phones & social...
Doing okay. Everything just feels 'meh' and I just want to have a long lie down. I want to do things well (like this fucking challenge) but it's as though I'm half asleep in my own body.
Days without turning off site blockers: 13 I can't belive I'm two-thirds of the way through my digital detox. Also, I can't stop thinking about Jacob Geller's most recent video, The Future is a Blank Room; specifically when he talks...
A lot of people hate when this happens, but it's always been surprisingly pleasant for me. I was going out for lunch with a friend, and I happened to run into someone I knew from high school & elementary school. He looks so different...
Days without turning off site blockers: 12 I finally cleaned up all the collatoral damage produced when I was sick (laundry) and other household stuff I neglected. Even applied for some jobs. Still learning how to "do nothing" (aka...
