- started building ui and frontend elements inside photoshop, as a curiosity.
- mid 2020sfrom building concepts to turning them real. started developing with next.js, react, motion and webgl.
- corvus ships. parallel degree° opens.
- nowall three practices, daily.

the sky over my desk, live
fig. 5a — the sky
the oldest fixation. this is the real sky over my desk right now, drawn from the clock and a star catalog. it shifts about a degree every four minutes — expand it and the stars answer back.

margin notes
- the indents run 0, 16 and 6 percent. set by eye until the negative space sat right, then locked.
- dithered with my own package. hover it and it re-develops.
- the arrow tilts 45° on hover. every external arrow on this site does.
- eras, not dates. everything overlapped anyway.
- corvus i built because me and the trenches needed it. parallel degree° because some ideas are better chased with a friend.
- computed, not decorative. come back in six months and it'll be winter up there.
- the dock at the bottom of the site plays from this shelf.
- four are visible. the fifth is 1px. find it and we should talk.
- the rev number is the git commit count, read at build time. nobody types it in.
- the count carried over from the old site. the number remembers further back than the design does.
