Scrapbook Core

I am kind of obsessed with this Scrapbook / Memorybook concept lately, I keep building on it and sketching out new ideas with the robot. I’ve been listening to Sherlock Holmes read by Stephen Fry, and in some of the stories Holmes will consult his own notebooks with interesting newspaper clippings and biographies of various figures, from which he can produce unique insights and connections to solve his mysteries. I am inspired by this system.

I have over 8,000 bookmarks in Pinboard, from the past decade of being a person on the internet, and I am really excited at the idea of making them easier to flip through, analyze, rediscover, assemble and thread together, and show to other people.

Created an initial “hello world” repo / app for my infinite scrolling interface into my scrapbook- it turned out pretty cool! I want to spend some time refining the actual swipe animations to make it smoother, but I am really proud of how quickly it came together with the help of Claude.

Added Pottery Section to Website

I checked on my pottery at the studio over the weekend, cooling in the kiln, and I am beginning to allow myself to feel excited about glazing and finishing this collection.

So I celebrated by making a new pottery section on my website, powered by Stripe, so that I can sell some pieces. I have made way too much to keep or give away, and this is an expensive hobby.

Added RSS feeds to ejfox.com and ejfox.photos

RSS feeds are a crucial part of breaking away from the shackles of mainstream social media for distributing my work, but its been a pain to get it working in Nuxt. I finally got it done, making RSS feeds both from my website’s Markdown content with Nuxt Content, and also converting a Cloudinary API result into a properly formatted feed. But they both exist now!
