It’s been a while but I’ve basically moved off here now. I’m on Threads at the same handle. If you’re there, come say hi.
Refrakt is now open to the public, and there’s some really cool work being shared there. If you’re a photographer, check it out ❤️ link is in my bio.

I have some news—I’m returning to freelance in 2025!
I’m looking to have a bit more time to explore Canada while I’m here, and to get back to photography and Refrakt.
If you or your company is looking for an engineer and/or a designer, say hi. Would love to chat.

I'm starting to go deeper into shaders at work, and it turns out I'm basically rebuilding Lightroom. It's so much math which I kinda hate, the HSL sliders in particular have been giving me grief today. However it's really cool when it all starts to work.

Do I know any branding designers that would be able to help me with some refinement work, or even some directional work? I have a vague idea in my head but would love to chat through it with someone.

This cannot be normal. @nextjs 14.1.0 with pages router. It just chugs my laptop and I have to restart it every 20 mins. So close to moving off next completely. It's almost impossible to do any meaningful frontend work.

How do you deal with a much larger company ripping off your ideas/implementations? Call them out? Wait for someone else to call them out? Say nothing?

Also, I'm only popping back because my network is still larger on this platform. I'll check DM's.
I'm also still working on Refrakt, and will always find time to do so. Me getting a job is not the end haha.

I only popped back here to check DMs, and then I see the Figma guy is blocking people. I go to see what it’s about and I guess I made it too.

Good afternoon (or morning, or evening). I went dark yesterday, really dark. But I managed to sleep and I have some clarity about the Al Ahli hospital massacre that I want to share with you. I'll only tweet this rambling thread today and then log off. Please read and share.

To the suddenly concerned & praying:
Our Palestinian casualties are always your footnotes. The daily humiliation of occupation ignored. The aggression by settlers and soldiers alike on holy sites and souls. The annihilation of entire families that follows. The devastation of whatever scraps remain in the open air prison of Gaza. Unsustainable & inhumane. So if you’re waking up to a sudden interest in the region and want to know what’s been happening, dig a bit deeper than 2 weeks and try to read beyond the headlines of a media that has been dehumanizing us for decades.
