It’s a miracle I have the willpower to get this letter done right now because every cell in my body just wants to keep playing [[Clair Obscur - Expedition 33]]. It is unfortunately that good. But I persist – for you, dear reader!
So let’s get to the stuff!
## Interesting Stuff
### Midlife Engineering
I love internet toys and [Midlife Engineering](https://www.midlife.engineering/?mc_cid=2e80ae4292) is a great example of one. It’s a “sound therapy” thing that you can click around on to create ambient soundscapes, and based on the Teenage Engineering audio products – but you know, for free and not ridiculously expensive!
### Gaydient
[An amazing app](https://gaydient.com/) that lets you customize CSS gradients of pride flags and then lets you copy the code! Created by [@olivvybee](https://honeycomb.engineer/@olivvybee/114395258965064159)!
### Youtube2Webpage
I hate learning via video but it feels like people just do video tutorials now. [This app](https://github.com/obra/Youtube2Webpage) lets you use a Perl script to create a webpage from a Youtube video with a transcript generated from the video's closed captions paired with screenshots of the video!

It’s true and I *will* say it.

## Status Update
I haven’t written about [[Sinners]] in detail yet because, much like a lot of my favorite media of all time, it’s deeply difficult to put into words how much I loved it. I’d like to try though!
Besides that, just very very busy. That’s really all!
