   Does anyone have recommendations for a more practical, entry-level device for making small songs? I’m making a survival-horror game for the Playdate and need some music that fits the vibe. The reason I’ve been eyeing hardware is because I s

   I’m biased, but I hope my explanation[0] is more intuitive coming from a CPA. [0]: https://www.winstoncooke.com/blog/a-basic-introduction-to-ac...

   I'm really excited by the current appreciation of CRTs. There is something so nostalgic about them that matches the warmth of listening to my favorite vinyl. I have had much more fun playing SNES and Genesis via my MiSTer on a PVM than

   I built a fake terminal on my website[0]. I've been planning on building an actual one that is compiled to WASM, but it was fun building the little features such as a memory of entered commands that can be navigated by pressing up and

   Yeah I only run into the issue when using an iPhone mini with an increased font size. But it’s ready to go if I add more routes. If the list grew to be too large, I would switch to a two-column layout on my homepage for the primary points o

   I built the nav bar at the top of my website[0] to be scrollable if the content doesn’t fit horizontally. I’m slightly concerned about users not realizing there are more options to scroll over, but I prefer it to a hamburger menu that has t

   If it helps anyone, I wrote a blog post[0] (based on this comment[1]) explaining how double-entry accounting works. I have recently been thinking about building my own program that implements double-entry accounting in a more approachable f

    It looks so much better in person too! I had a difficult time accurately capturing the CRT screen with an iPhone. Perhaps I could borrow a DSLR with a tripod to take a better photo one of these days.

    I wrote a brief article discussing my thoughts on playing 240p games on a CRT compared to a modern display[0]. It’s hard to perfectly convey, but the picture really does look exceptional and so much better than on a modern display and is so

    I have two places I store photos: a gallery[0] of curated photos on my personal website, and a larger stream of photos backed up to my NAS. The photos on my NAS replicate what I capture with my phone. I actively delete photos of the mundane
