In which the author embarked on creative projects, recorded coding tutorials, and set goals for future storytelling endeavors.

Overview of the Week

Projects Worked On

Video Recording

Finally accomplished my goal of recording an instructional coding video, preparing for recording a course on rapid prototyping with Nuxt.

Inspired by https://maggieappleton.com/home-cooked-software and https://www.are.na/editorial/an-interview-with-spencer-chang – I wanted to show other people how easy it is to take your own data, in this case from are.na, and build your own interfaces and experiments from it.

For the video, I worked to get the necessary data from the are.na API, and then display it on draggable cards that remember their positions between sessions. I also added some basic controls for size, so you can arrange all of the blocks in a channel spatially in any way that makes sense to your brain

Creative Endeavors

The world is editable. I ship fast, bend computers toward good problems, and help teams who have a hunch something could be better — napkin sketch to working prototype, usually before the week is out. Let's build something →
