Lots of new work, lots of old work that I never got around to documenting, and lots more coming in 2020 👀
Thankful for

My 1YO spilled water on my laptop this morning immediately bricking it. But it wasn’t the end of the world because I was able to simply log in to Figma on my wife’s computer and keep working.

In Tom Friends (an app targeted to 4+ yo) ads are embedded in every aspect of the gameplay. A roomba with an ad "gift" literally follows the child's character around the room.

weekend tile game update:
i've completed the beast of a state machine that randomly chooses which a new tile each round.
