hell yeah Imperial Triumphant kaiju

the 3 members of the band Imperial Triumphant, clad in black hooded cloaks and pointy gold masks that obscure their faces. they stand in front of the golden art deco entryway of the Brill Building in New York, which features a bust of a suited man gazing up into the sky

the “r” grabbing ahold of the “t” is already enough to get my vote 🤌🏽 the prefers-reduced-motion version is very calming too

3D extruded letters, lowercase r next to lowercase t. their kerning is so small that the top right stroke of the r is grasping the left terminal of the t’s crossbar

all out of eggs but this longsilog still hits. longsilog - itlog = longsinangag?

very disorienting when I needed directions to jujubes and sago pearls

2 portraits of 18th century writer Samuel Johnson wearing a powdered wig, in “wtf am I reading” meme presentation. first: he scrutinizes a manuscript held just inches away from his face. second: hands lowered, he looks directly at the viewer with a furrowed brow in an expression of absolute bewilderment

minor docs PRs like these can feel really small. but seeing my name next to @rich-harris.dev's is so cool

GitHub commit. chore: wrap JSDoc URLs in @see and @link tags (#17617). aqandrew and Rich-Harris authored 4 days ago. passed 18/19 checks

prepping these shrimp is pretty unique because you keep the shells attached to the abdomens at a point next to the tail the shells get crispy-fried too and become additional edible crunchy surfaces that catch garlic sauce 🤌🏽

screenshot of the shrimp recipe link shared above. 3 photos feature prominently. the first photo shows six raw shrimp, whose shells are partially cut down the mid-dorsal line. photos 2 and 3 show the finished fried shrimp. the attached shells have been fried in the same powdered coating that coats the shrimps’ abdomens.

a paragraph at the top says: “After trying Lotus of Siam once, it was alway a must visit anytime I was in Vegas. Flash forward a few years and I’m still thinking about their garlic prawns-but the problem is taking the trip to Vegas now that life is so busy with young children and work. I had no other choice than to replicate one of their best dishes. Once you make my copycat you’ll never miss paying $28 (yes that much for six prawns) and traveling to Vegas again!”

also if you look closely at the photo of the spread, there’s an instant classic Lupe shot

blurry zoomed in crop of a dark brown chihuahua running towards the viewer. its eyes shine different colors: pale yellow on the left, and pale blue on the right. the image is so blurry that it’s scarcely recognizable as a dog

very proud of these 2 contributions of mine: 1. hong shao rou (Chinese red braised pork belly) 2. copycat Lotus of Siam Thai garlic prawns 2 and a half: nam jim jaew (tamarind dipping sauce), sublime on any meat all recipes I tried for the first time for this meal, and will make again and again

cubes of red braised pork belly in a white oval dish. the pork glistens in the light, interspersed with fragments of star anise and thin slices of garlic

oblong plate holding 24 crispy-fried shrimp. the shrimp are covered with coarsely ground black pepper, sautéed minced garlic, and chopped cilantro. the shrimp are headless and deveined, and their shells, also crispy-fried, remain attached close to the tail

as we move from one holiday feast to another, I want to take a moment to acknowledge the magnificence of our Friendsgiving spread we made 14 dishes(!!!) for 3 people after being in the kitchen for 11 hours. it was awesome lol

dining table with 12 dishes on it. from rear to front, left to right: 1. cranberry feta arugula salad. 2. hong shao rou (Chinese red braised pork). 3. garlic rolls. 4. jerk chicken. 5. cranberry chorizo stuffing. 6. brown butter mashed sweet potato. 7. Jamaican stewed oxtail. 8. rice and red peas. 9. fried plantains (savory). 10. miso roasted cabbage. 11. Thai garlic prawns, with nam jim jaew (tamarind dipping sauce) on the side. 12. ratatouille (or tian provençal)

two pies. in the rear is a chocolate custard pie with a topping of Swiss meringue that has been shaped into intertwining swirls and browned on the tips. in the front is a coquito pie, whose top is a rich caramel brown color, with a powdered sugar design in the shape of a bird on a tree branch

you know, I'm something of a motion designer / state machine guy myself

Flow chart describing an image element, with arrows connecting sequential steps. Step 1: page loads. No image is displayed yet. Step 2: image expands (from the top left corner to the bottom right corner). The mock image shows 2 crudely drawn smiley faces. Step 3: image is visible for 5-10 seconds (we should play around a bit to pick an appropriate duration). Step 4: image shrinks (from the bottom right corner to the top left corner until it disappears). Step 5: next image immediately expands. This mock image features 3 crudely drawn smiley faces. Step 5's subsequent arrow loops back to step 3.

looks almost as good as none pizza with left beef

left half: Domino’s pizza ordering UI, having selected none for all toppings including sauce and cheese, except beef, specified to have a normal amount on the left side. right half: photo of the delivered pizza in a cardboard box. it’s a dry round puffed up crust with 14 beef chunks strewn on one side

this smooth transition to/from the exploded onion dice view took a lot of time and tinkering, but it came out soooo satisfying (don't bother adding horizontal cuts when dicing your onion, it's bad for uniformity)

it is a gift to hack on my little data visualization project and try out some hithertofore unknown (to me) HTML elements: <output> and <meter> <meter> takes optional low/high/optimum attributes that help to automatically color code the bar 🙂

ooh it’s gonna look AND sound tremendous then I’m looking for a 6 string with a tremolo for my next guitar. maybe an Abasi Larada. the 6 string version isn’t multiscale, but the 7 is (27.5-25.5”) and very tempting at a similar price point to a Strandberg. will have to check out Kiesel too though!

this black-headed grosbeak slammed into my window this morning. he sat dazed and blinking in one of my outdoor plants for a good 15 minutes. was about to bring him to wildlife rehab when he just perked up and flew away 😌 #birdsky
