🎆Link Dump July 4th🎆
🦍Thick and Thin🦒 Nickels are too thin! You know what you need? Thicker nickels, or thnickels. This is a cool thin ‘pencil tower’ in New York.

Fizz & Buster: Sketches
As part of my Fizz & Buster series, I made a bunch of sketches during the process. Some were created before and some after as I planned on continuing the project into potentially a larger adventure game. But it didn’t really get off the ground for various reasons.

Resistance The ‘bullshit’ continues with power grabs and lies with Harvard being told they can’t enroll international students.

I’m Really, Really, Tired of Phone Keyboards
I find phone typing exhausting and tedious. As technology evolves, there are always compromises. A physical keyboard takes up space, so we went ahead and got rid of them on phones. This is generally a good compromise, but I assumed that with all the permutations and experimentation we might have found a better option by…
