Notes from my week.
- Started a new project at work. I’m kind of excited for this project, because I get to use Svelte for the first time. I’ve been hearing a lot of great things about Svelte and SvelteKit.
- Watched part of Frontend Horse’s Holiday Snowtacular.
- Ordered new glasses. 🤓
- Started physical therapy for a nagging hip issue I’ve been dealing with most of the year.
- We had a huge wind storm on Wednesday that brought a tornado warning and knocked out our power for a few hours. There were several large trees down around town.

- The PS5 Darkplates made me want to grab Sony’s upcoming black faceplates — “Like Sony’s official faceplates and the Darkplates 1.0, there’s also an Easter egg on the inside of the plates. Sony etched a PlayStation icon microtexture featuring the PlayStation symbols, and the Darkplates 1.0 had Dbrand’s twist on those icons. For Darkplates 2.0, Dbrand opted to inscribe a lot of binary. I asked Dbrand what it means, and it said the binary is excerpts of the cease and desist letter Sony sent the company regarding Darkplates 1.0.”
