Mont Blanc Goats
When I saw this lighting I really wanted to try capturing it, and I think it turned out just right 👌

A chronological view of *everything* I've posted here, since the beginning of time (or the blog's inception, whichever comes first).

Links to the best stuff I've read or watched during the month of December, 2025
Pluribus (Season 1)
Reviewed on Dec 29, 2025
There’s a lot of quality in this show, but the glacial pacing (and how long it takes for the main character to develop any semblance of likeability) made me really struggle to care about anything that happened.
Might be better when binge-watched, but the weekly episode releases really did it a disservice.
I usually love these videos that deal with the scale of things, and getting one from MKBHD was a surprise for sure, but a welcome one.
It’s incredible how far technology has come, and it’s a testament of how humans can achieve incredible things when we want to.

2025: A Big Year

The craziest year of my life.
Sunset in Varenna
Really proud of the lighting in this one.
Another great page by Neal Agarwal; this one lets you see life in all its different sizes.
This website is so cool! It’s the kind of thing that you’d imagine was a personal website, but it’s actually a marketing page! A marketing team actually sat down and planned this out! I thought no such thing as fun marketing existed. Glad to be proven wrong.
CSS is my favorite language and 2025 was amazing for it! The Chrome team built this page highlighting all the new exciting stuff that happened to CSS this year. I’ve used some of it but sadly still have to wait for other browsers to catch up before doing it on any serious work 😭
I recommend opening this in a Chromium-based browser so you can try it out firsthand, but there are video recordings of the features in case you’re unable to.
Neat little daily browser puzzle game where you use clues to find out who’s a criminal and who’s innocent.
The greatest in-camera effect of all time (video)
Ok, this video is amazing. Corridor Crew recreates the amazing practical effects from the first Lord of the Rings movie (the forced perspective ones with Gandalf and the hobbits), but not only that, there’s amazing storytelling on how it was made, all the cinema history before it, and why it has never been done again since then.
Great post about how clients hire experts to solve a problem, then completely ignore their expertise and try to copy what the big ones do. But they’re not big.
The “f*** off contact page” concept is amazing, too. It’s 100% real and out there, with more and more companies doing it (either intentionally or by just wanting to copy what others do).
Also, Nic Chan’s website is a treasure. It’s already been featured as a cool link here before but I wanted to point it out again. So cool!
