Screenshot of an Apple order status page for a Mac mini. The page shows the estimated delivery window as 3 July–10 July via Express Delivery. A progress tracker indicates the order is currently at the Processing stage, with Order Placed complete and Preparing to Ship, Shipped, and Delivered still pending. Below, a message reads: "We have everything necessary to complete your order. We'll update your delivery date when your order is preparing to ship." An image of the front of a silver Mac mini appears on the left.

the current state of the Inkwell project. Mobile app screen shown in an iPhone simulator. The header displays “Good evening, ewan” next to a profile photo, with a sign-out icon on the left. The main content area is empty, featuring a document icon above the message “Nothing here yet” and the subtitle “Leaflet.pub document browsing is coming soon.” At the bottom is a segmented control with “Read” selected (blue book icon) and “Write” unselected (pencil icon). The status bar shows the time as 22:14.

Screenshot of a Google AI Overview response, shown in a dark-themed modal with the Google “G” logo at the top. The response explains why Greek letters are pronounced differently in English versus Modern Greek, with two bullet points: “Modern Greek Shift” (the “b” sound shifted to a “v” sound, hence “beta” sounds like “veta”) and “English Tradition” (English retained the older “b” sound via Latin or Classical Greek). Below this, the response attempts to show phonetic representations but catastrophically fails to render LaTeX, producing the literal text \beta \rightarrow \text{/belt\text{ }\text{ }\text{ } repeated in an endless cascade of unrendered \text{ } commands filling the remainder of the screen.
Screenshot of “Not-Twitter”, a working Bluesky client styled to recreate Twitter around 2022, shown in dark mode with a customised green accent colour. The layout mirrors classic Twitter: a left sidebar with navigation items including Home, Explore, Notifications, Messages, Bookmarks, Lists, Profile, and More, plus a green “Tweet” button; a central timeline; and a right sidebar with trending topics. The feed is on the “Following” tab. A post at the top says, “whenever i feel nostalgic i use Not-Twitter” with a link to erickrouss.github.io/not-twitter. Below it is a satirical POLITICO Europe post joking that Italy wants to rename the electrical unit “volt” to “volta”, featuring a preview image of Giorgia Meloni. The trending sidebar includes topics such as “Epstein Files”, “Ukraine War”, “Letterboxd”, and “UK Politics”. The overall interface closely imitates the pre-X Twitter aesthetic while running on Bluesky infrastructure.

A screenshot of a dark-themed website dashboard titled "AT Protocol tools" from the domain "croft.click". Below the main title, a subtitle reads, "Move your data to the open social web. Free, open-source, runs in your browser." The interface features two primary data panels set against a black background with bright green accent highlights. The panel on the left is labeled "Live Network Activity" and tracks user engagement. At the top, it highlights two main statistics: 33 total mentions and 6 unique users. Underneath these numbers is a vertical list of indexed projects, each displaying a ratio of total mentions to unique users. The items listed are Jasper with 6 mentions and 1 user, Malachite with 21 mentions and 2 users, Opal with 1 mention and 1 user, Tourmaline with 2 mentions and 1 user, and Devlog with 3 mentions and 1 user. Small text at the very bottom of this panel notes that the data is "INDEXED BY CONSTELLATION". The panel on the right is labeled "Toolkit Usage" and tracks application activity. It prominently displays a metric of 1 usage record. Below this headline statistic is an entry for "Malachite" indicating that 100 records have been imported. This entry includes a small gray pill badge labeled "lastfm ×1" and concludes with a count of 1 session on the far right.

“it's mildly funny how I could technically say that a way to pronounce my name is "Yew-'n"” > Ewan - the Scottish/Welsh name. the yew tree connection is a nice accidental bit of pagan flavour as well. could've been worse - could be named Craig.
