isn’t the idea that anyone can submit any changes and then they can be approved by maintainers ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

there’s some nonsense happening on the bird site where apparently people are being gatekeepers of open source

i think i need to just clear my entire notion workspace and start from scratch

some new albums that popped into my library today :)

published a CLI this week for creating PNGs from p5.js sketches. First time working with a browser emulator. Probably could make this more efficient somehow tho. https://npmjs.com/package/p5snap

This has been overdue but my name is Zach :) I live in NYC. I like to make creative coding tools and generative art. Mostly JS but have lightly ventured into things like Rust and took a class this semester that required Python. I am about to finish my MFA from Parsons School of Design and am now like scared about finding a job 👀 But mostly just focusing on not isolating myself despite the pandemic. So, hello! #introduction

i want to write a proper introduction post today too, i’ve been kind of nervous about messing it up lol

have a skype call schedule with my thesis advisors from last semester where i’ll get to tell them how i think choosing this program was probably a mistake 😞

so I don't feel like I did great work in my thesis class last semester, I sort identified an area to work within but I don't think I did enough experimentation

i just realized i haven't taken the subway in three weeks!

had a stress dream about some unexpected building maintenance on the facade of my apt ruining all of my personal stuff 🙃
