Fursona Sundries

An unusual post this time! I've been thinking about the background for Kay, both as a fursona and a character, and figured that there's a LOT of attributes a regular refsheet type thing wouldn't cover. So, I'm putting together a page for it here on the site! I'll probably play …


Returning to the guitar?

Many years ago, I took up casual guitar lessons using my mom's classical guitar. At the time I was young and more comitted to going through motions of prep than the practice itself. I never really took the time to learn well, eventually stopped the lessons. But I always loved …


Custom Emoji, part deux!

More updates on the project! This site now has more Mutant Standard emoji in use, and now uses a spritesheet for the emoji, after some help from Jaeson. This also allows me to be far more screenreader-friendly, accessibility oriented, not relying on images and alt text, instead using a span …

Was hoping to go for a walk this morning but my earlier alarm never went off, so oops! At least had …


Starting Blog

Oh, hey.

I guess I should start up a simple blog thing here as part of my site, heh! I've been wanting to make a nice simple site more than just my regular homepage, so here we are.

I'm also going to see if I can't autopost to my Blimpstodon …
