Made an authentic relating game (thanks for the inspo, Theo and Micha!) Hit play, and every two minutes a random person and prompt will ping on the main screen. You can adjust the prompt list and names below to customize your experience :)

Stuffing! Couldn't get enough Thanksgiving so I made more Thanksgiving. Stole my mom's recipe for this one, so I don't have a link here... but, the secret ingredient is granny smith apples and slightly stale bakery bread, so it soaks up the stock! 🍏 🥖 🦃

Death or a Home

Death or a Home by Noah Picard Pre-Chorus (1, 3) G Don’t lie to me, just lie with me Em Either it’s irony or it’s clarity Am How the woooor

Been learning acoustic guitar, so I wrote a song for it! It's forlorn and is about holding onto a crumbling relationship. I hope to play it as well as I imagine it- and if I can, I'll record a version here 🎸 (<- but acoustic)

Made a chai pie! Really a chai caramel pie. With a gingersnap crust and salted honey meringue! Here's the recipe: https://www.bakefromscratch.com/chai-spice-caramel-pie/ (Cut the sugar amounts in half though, dear lord)

Chumbucket Rules.pdf

Made a card game called Chumbucket. Here are the rules!

It's a 2-player game where you gain an advantage by correctly betting on the outcome of each round, and tricking your opponent into betting incorrectly.

Can confirm: we had a lot of great surprising moments while testing it out this weekend. Enjoy!

Made cookies! Two types: browned butter chocolate chip, and pear ginger. 10/10 delicious. I was expecting the browned butter ones to be more flat- so now I get to experiment with ratios :)

A drawing! Person breathing flowers out into the ether. Titled "FRESH BREATH". Colored pencils on fancy paper, 2021, etc etc.

New song! I stumbled upon come very good console sounds. Pixelated spelunking music.

I remember the beach that evening Where the waves hugged the shore so sweetly Where the water was warm, with you in my arms Now here we both are, together alone Together alone Over this dark chasm, we yearn for romance Together alone On a bright cloud of music, we could dance Out there on our own, like the leaves in the wind We could turn like the seasons, without any reason And in my arms you'd be at home I'd like to kiss you, from my lonely room Together alone Together alone Together alone Together alone Over this dark chasm, we yearn for romance Together alone On a bright cloud of music, we could dance Out there on our own, like the leaves in the wind We could turn like the seasons, without any reason And in my arms you'd be at home I'd like to kiss you, from my lonely room Together alone Together alone Together alone

- "Together Alone" (a lyrical collab directed by my G'pa) Pair with a schmaltzy piano. Can you guess the song inspo?

Made an update of my personal/professional website! That is to say, took an experimental version of the site, dusted it off and make it pretty again :)

Several little poems! Made during a cozy grey craft day with new friends. Enjoy!

Teacher

Live oak swathes the valley oak

My father, his frumpy pants; all walk together

In the dust of this road

I am learning how to place my feet

Jackrabbits shiver, wastefully aroused

by the burrow-holes where Buddy walks

Nature is a communion of

subjects, not a collection of objects

A high-pitched whine in the zendo

I spoon water on a Tassajara boulder

In the crook of this chair

I am learning how to sit in myself

Rinpoche, for all your rousing creativity

you too strove to numb and sleep

But what a burden to bear

I cannot imagine speak- well, that is a lie

But what a question answered

to see the Dharma & crash your sports-car

I volunteered to DJ a party in the woods this weekend. It was lovely and rejuvenating and tiring all at once, but sadly the setlist portion was cancelled. So, here's a playlist: 100+ of my favorite dance songs. They never saw the light of day, but might inspire your night 💃🕺🏾

A couple days too late here:

Following some of the recent terrifying develops regarding the Texas Abortion Ban and pro-life-whistle-blower-dot-com, I wrote up a little script:

It pulls up a web form for you, and automatically find all fields and fills out said form with random auto-generated info. You just have to click to submit!

Since the aforementioned website was dropped by GoDaddy (woot!) and still hasn't risen from the dead, this demo instead uses the Mozilla homepage. But, it works for any homepage (and even politely waits for fields to load).

What a convenient way to send a lot of bogus information very quickly, should anyone want that. Just in case.

Made a renderer for a poem of mine... and I can't exactly capture it here, so I've hosted it on my website instead. I can't say the reading is particularly pleasurable, but it _is_ interesting.

I was proud of how much purple helped with the reading comprehension!

Made threeee songs! Most proud of this one right here- the first one I feel like I could really boogie too. Having a pre-existing sample helps tremendously (big thanks to @prodbygotta_never_stop)!
