Vol. 43 - The French Boomed Me
Wrote this as fast as possible so I can keep playing Clair Obscur LMFAO
It’s a miracle I have the willpower to get this letter done right now because every cell in my body just wants to keep playing Clair Obscur - Expedition 33. It is unfortunately that good. But I persist – for you, dear reader!
So let’s get to the stuff!
Interesting Stuff
Midlife Engineering
I love internet toys and Midlife Engineering is a great example of one. It’s a “sound therapy” thing that you can click around on to create ambient soundscapes, and based on the Teenage Engineering audio products – but you know, for free and not ridiculously expensive!
Gaydient
An amazing app that lets you customize CSS gradients of pride flags and then lets you copy the code! Created by @olivvybee!
Youtube2Webpage
I hate learning via video but it feels like people just do video tutorials now. This app lets you use a Perl script to create a webpage from a Youtube video with a transcript generated from the video's closed captions paired with screenshots of the video!

Hop is the Best
It’s true and I will say it.

Status Update
I haven’t written about Sinners in detail yet because, much like a lot of my favorite media of all time, it’s deeply difficult to put into words how much I loved it. I’d like to try though!
Besides that, just very very busy. That’s really all!
Signing Off
That’s all for now! Thanks for reading and I hope you’re having a good weekend yourself. Hit the ko-fi link below if you like and want to support this letter, and if you wanna hang out I'm splitting my time between Bluesky and Mastodon. Peace!
