    I moved to WordPress

    I’ve been writing a blog since I’ve been in high-school. At first, it was fun to make websites and be part of the Internet (this was pre-Facebook). I was in love with my monochromatic colour palettes. The posts… well, they were the voice of my teenage brain — scattered and overly sassy. I continued to…

  • Coming up with a fresh icon for 60Hz app

    We’ve been working hard to get tvQ 2.0 out on the App Store (currently doing some beta testing).
