Got more intentional with per-section color, and added a color bar to the bottom of the viewport to represent the ratio of content types. Maybe I am still just longing for the color bars on the bottom of the Open Signal website (also on their building on MLK).

More taxonomy noodling and little bits of cleanup! Always get the ube cookie at Kalesa if they are not sold out yet!

I added Games as a content type, despite their covers being largely ugly, and cleaned up some taxonomy stuff under the hood as well.

00:18 on 5 August, 2026 at home; too hot and smoky to go outside today!

Reworked the main layout container to use CSS grid so that I can add an optional channel for media like books and records off to the side of long-form writing. Remains to be seen whether or not it’ll get used!

18:03 on 3 August, 2026 at No Preference in Portland, OR

I removed a max-width on the main container that was making this wacky on mobile, and also added the barest bones mobile menu imaginable. I need to write about the end of the first quarter of my leave!

(They’re playing wall to wall bangers at the coffee shop and I have an amazing iced pandan leaf latte.)

I added a ton of document types to support the display of projects! Things like collaborators, tools used, and where I completed the work. There’s still more I’d like to add to the projects page, but for now it actually exists!

I have moved this site from Craft CMS & Fortrabbit over to Astro & Sanity & Netlify. I am really enjoying working with these tools! Have worked with Sanity before, but I always came onto projects that used it after setup, so this has been a really nice way to get more familiar with it. And Astro! It’s so fast. 🥹

Most of the work was just getting to parity with the old site (and getting the lay of the Sanity → Astro → Netlify land, plus I tried Vercel first and noped outta there). The newer features here are:

  • Some npm import script for Bookwyrm, so that I’m leaning on ActivityPub format instead of just manually adding books myself.
  • And also an import script for Discogs, because I had a shower thought about whether they have an API (they do) and knew it’d be so easy to modify my Bookwyrm script to also get records in. For currently unknown reasons!
  • Projects have colors now, I am considering something Weird™️ with the circle in front of them too.
  • Bits/scraps/whatever I’m going to call them are a separate taxonomy; have to figure out how/where I weave them in.

  • Wrote my first blog post!
  • Added topic listing page template

Oops, it's nearly midnight and I am Still Working On This.

  • Add a Books index page, along with all of the entry types and fields to support it
  • Add a caption field to images in the default filesystem

Hello world! This site was asleep until today, sitting unfinished for almost two years. Consider it extremely under construction, and a sort of wireframe experiment as I let the ways that I'm using all of these taxonomies dictate the form and design of the site.

  • Add Writing section, entry types, categories, and supporting templates
  • Add Projects section, entry types, categories, and also all of those things but for the supporting bits including Collaborators, Organizations, Roles, tools
  • Add templates (and therefore pages) for the project index, writing index, writing posts, about, and changelog
