Everything Everywhere All At Once Is Both Fun and Confusing
I finally got to watch Everything Everywhere All At Once and I’ve got to say, there’s so much going on in the movie and yet it’s so fun. Even the title is a mouthful. Also, the move has silent talking rocks for some reason?
Anyways, congrats to the team for bagging all those Academy Awards!
I’m gonna watch some more Kung Fu movies now.

These will come in handy at some point. I’m using the Industrial font stack right now though I plan on moving to Recursive at some point.

Moving in my old posts and I noticed one where I practically gave up because of how shit my life was. The pandemic ruled out any chance of finding a job, I had no marketable skills and my blog sucked.
I updated the post in 2022, but I didn’t provide a meaningful update. My writing still sucks but in 2021, I got to write two posts for CSS Tricks which earned me $500 that’s more than I had since graduating. I’ll thank them in another post, but in 2022 I finally managed to get a job. I suck at it, but it’s something to do.
I guess things can change. Let’s see if I can do bigger things going forward.

Coil bids farewell, but not goodbye [ARCHIVE]

When we started Coil in 2018, Interledger was only an idea. Over the last five years we breathed life into the technology and sparked a vibrant ecosystem around it. Now it’s time to pass the torch to a neutral body in the form of the Interledger Foundation to steward the future development of Interledger.
As part of this evolution, we’ve decided to sunset Coil’s products and development efforts. On February 2, 2023, we will no longer accept sign-ups for the Coil Membership. On March 15, 2023, we will discontinue our service. More detailed information is available in our FAQ.
The other day I got an email from Uphold, the service handled my site’s web monetization saying that they were ending support for it because of the Coil service. Web monetization is an attempt to support websites by streaming payments as you view a website which contains a
<meta rel="monetization">element in the header. I actually managed to earn $0.55 by doing this, though this was because I got a trial to the service and I was using my site during development. I could have become another case of Web3 going just great and earned more than I have from affiliate links, but I digress.Guess it’s time to get rid of the pointer and try and find other ways of making money. Sigh.
I just made my first Netlify function. It doesn’t do much now, but it let’s you search for all the links I made to a specific site. The link looks something like this
