I’m back to coding for fun! Feels good!

Hacked out a basic game with PixiJS and wrapping my head around the new @redwoodjs.com SDK. Loving both of these!

Anyone got any learn to type recommendations? 10 year old.

Hard to find something not crammed with ads.

Not adverse to a one time purchase.

I am over engineering a simple colouring website. It’s for my kids. (And other kids too). And it’s fun.

Fun with blocks. Fun that rocks. A simpler coloring site for kids, adults, and aliens. Have fun. Be playful.

Updated my site to Astro v5 and the new content loaders api. Reasonably painless. Got one small bug in my RSS feed to sort out.

I wrapped 2024 with one last blog post. One more than last year which is mini-win!

Looking at using Sanity + Next.js for simpler content searching.

Yeah so Alberta is a funny place for weather.

Last weekend rode my bike a ton. This weekend an absolute mountain of snow and cross country skiing.

Went from bike season to ski season overnight.

So I am in the process of testing and fine tuning my last freelance project of the year.

Love this stage!

The snow is holding off here in Western Canada meaning biking season is strangely still continuing…

This was my silly side project I made mostly for my own kids. It was fun!

Got in probably the last MTB ride of the season today. Also my first big ride since injury in August. Felt good.

Tonight's project: year end accounting for the business. Yuck. But it is all done and with the accountant now.

Next stop, tax bills.

The last blog post I penned was a bit philosophical reflecting on the impacts of AI on web dev.
