Had a new hair stylist today and we gushed about Rings of Power and how everyone who doesn't like that show is factually wrong. Immediately set up the next appointment with her.

I feel like I'm on some sort of list (I probably don't want to know) because occasionally I'll get a random new follower I don't recognize from anywhere, who has no followers or posts, and is always following at least some of the same people; like there are three names I always see in their following list.

Working in that space between design and engineering is weird because people will sometimes ask you for a design portfolio and I'm like, what do you mean? I meticulously created design tokens for focus indicator styles that can be scaled and customized throughout our entire design system, do you want to see the code for that? Or my redesign of focus indicator styles? Do you want to see my design for a modal?
Like, it feels weird because I don't always necessarily have an ENTIRE website design I can put to just my name and a lot of my work is technical design meant to output design artifacts (where sometimes the visual design is not mine). Or it's like, I was given a design, but here is the UX I "designed" for the interactions, and all of its missing states which were not included with the visual design.
Anyways, just thinking if there are any visual artifacts I want to start saving from my work going forward. But this is currently why I don't keep a portfolio.

Instead of a life review of 2024, I did one for video games. Nothing too in depth. I think I'll try to do more of these throughout the year so it's easier to wrap them together at the end! https://heather-buchel.com/blog/2025/01/2024-games-review/

My blog posts have been really sporadic, but it does feel nice to add that 2025 folder, bring the number of "year" folders up to three!

Spiraling into that "I'm so bored with all of my current games, what if I try making my own game" thing and I know how this will end. (also I don't know how to use any game making type engine things either, so there is that)

Ranch needs to have at least this much dill and herb showing otherwise it is just gross milk sauce.

My 2024 was mostly recovering from the previous year of bad, then getting laid off at the end. I don't care to do a yearly wrap up.
HOWEVER, I ended it with a job offer and having family come for the holidays, so at least it picked up a little near the end. Happy new years, fedi friends.

Just signed my offer letter! Come January, I'll be joining Squarespace as a Senior Front-End Engineer, Accessibility 🙂
I am beyond grateful for everyone that sent job postings, referrals, or just general words of encouragement. I was incredibly anxious (and honestly scared, given ~ everything ~ else in the world going on) during this whole process and it helped so much even to just read a couple "good lucks!" and "you got this!" now and then :)

Any bars in #Brooklyn that are done up real well for the holidays (bonus points for holiday-themed drinks)? Not really looking for those ridiculous instagram bar popups, just something for some holiday cheer.

I kind of think people are drawn to Bluesky BECAUSE there are no alternatives right now for using atproto. It's just bluesky.
Wondering if mastodon.social has the same moderation issues? Like, would it even be different? I feel a little insulated on hachyderm who seem to do an alright job. But it's largely a tech instance. I wouldn't suggest everyone join it. Idk!
