2 Amazing Site Retro Pixel Themes
by
I love the look of both localghost and nicchan. I’d love to use nescss for one of my sites in the future. I love that the look of the web is trending fun again instead of the stale cookie cutter version we’ve had for a long time now.
5-Year Timeframes
by
Joanna’s post on 5-year timeframes hits at a poignant time for me. I started a new notebook this week and that means I’ve got a front section that looks at my intentions, which I’ve been dreading because I know I made almost no progress on them in the last year. If I’m honest, I haven’t
