I'll be updating this page over time. I use US paper sizes because that's the standard where I live, but I've tried to create these templates in such a way that the ideas can apply to non-US sizes.…
Little Yellow Sketchbook of Curiosities ☀ 01 Little Yellow Sketchbook of Curiosities is a celebration of my oddball doodles from a sketchbook I completed in the spring of 2026.

There were a few errors on my part, particularly at the start which resulted in a base that wasn't as strong as I'd like, however it is still capable of holding several sets of house keys.

The Digital Garden Obsidian plugin creates 11ty templates when a note (or page) is published to my site. The url…

In an age with increased distrust and uncertainty, I felt it was important to be transparent about generative AI use in my work and lesser so, in my life. The catalyst for creating this AI policy comes from Mel Mitchell-Jackson and their conversation with Amelia Hruby, PhD , on Amelia's podcast, Off the Grid , as well as a followup episode by Amelia.
