MY WIFE GOT PUBLISHED AND IT ROCKS 🗣️ 📣 THANK YOU FOR YOUR ATTENTION TO THIS MATTER.

After a LOT of work, I just finished a new Earthbound lofi megamix, this time, using ACTUAL audio cassettes to really capture and transfer that good ol' tape hiss. a true lofi mix! www. youtube.com/watch?v=IMaRMG_iJPQ #lofi #earthbound #music #mother #videogames #vgmusic

People should consider replacing their linktree with a fun little Neocities or similar

I just released the 4th episode of "Tales From the Design Team", where I recount my memory of having been in the room with Magellan when Google announced free turn-by-turn directions. www.youtube.com/watch?v=eMCL... #design #creativity #disruption #innovation #career #leadership #business #tech

I made another design story video! This time it's about the time I published a shirt at UNIQLO stores worldwide. Great for aspiring designers! www.youtube.com/watch?v=jocG... #art #design #fashion #uniqlo #akamai #cloudcomputing #linux

@reidman.bsky.social Hi buddy! Hope you're well. ❤️ I made a video telling the story about the shirt I published at UNIQLO — it's a bit longer (been trying different script lengths to see what the Algorithm prefers), but if you have 15 minutes it's a funny story. youtu.be/jocGLiecpjU?...

oh gosh. i am working on my next video, talking about the process i went through designing a shirt for UNIQLO. and i hadn't noticed until i went on their site that they included the little blurb i wrote. 🥺🥺🥺 #design #graphicdesign #creativedirection #uniqlo

And yet that fee is what's keeping the respectable publications alive, in an age where we all expect everything to be free and have devalued collected writing to a dangerous extent. It's an odd line to walk as a writer. Prestige versus mass exposure.

It's odd how the more successful you are in placing writing in respectable journals and mags, the fewer people will actually read it because it costs money to remove the paywall. $6 for a digital issue isn't a ton, but I'm a realist: people will click from here, see the price tag, close the window.

I have work out in New Letters' just released issue. 'Libras' is the most personal thing I've had published to date and I would love for you to read it. www.newletters.org/current-issu...

today i was asked to make some stickers for a guitar luthier business. i though this one turned out cool. #graphicdesign #sticker #illustration #art

Hey guess what, my website overhaul is done! My first full portfolio in 15 years! It took a lot of work but I am extremely proud of it. It's inspired by the thing that got me started in computers, MacOS 9. donaberger.xyz #design #graphicdesign #art #linode #akamai

i just released a homemade dithering studio that runs locally and in your browser. you can use it to visually experiment with any one of nearly 50 dithering algorithms, from familiar to deeply obscure. grab it for free here: forge.mitch.science/mitcheffendi... #graphicdesign #illustration #art

in case this interests anyone here on the butterflyverse. #bahai #bahaifaith

i just published a bahá'í date converter... for snes. forge.mitch.science/mitcheffendi... #bahai #bahaifaith #snes #homebrew

i added a self-hosted CAPTCHA solution to my forum project, and they let you style it! so i made it into an Earthbound dialogue box, cus why not? #indieweb #smallweb

i might have to skip the no kings rally tomorrow due to a stomach bug, but i wanted to share the sign i made and couldn't print cus i ran out of vinyl paper. it is Persian, saying "na be jang dar 'iran" / "No to war! In Iran!" #nokings #iran #squarekufic

@clydemandelin.bsky.social i thought you'd find this interesting. lately i have been finding a lot more Arabic translation hacks popping up onto the scene. what i find most interesting is that ppl are building the systems to properly change interstitial letters through assembly. reminds me of M3.

why'd i make this? i dunno. why the face? why the dress? why the pearls? why anything?

here's a silly thing i did last weekend that spilled into this evening: a Baha'i Calendar calculator that runs on the Super Nintendo. https://forge.mitch.science/mitcheffendi/bahai-date-snes #bahai #bahaifaith

I drew a Meowth. #art #illustration #pokemon

I can't help myself from smiling whenever I think about how happy Del the Funkee Homosapien looked performing with Gorillaz on SNL. Like, I'm just so proud of him, damn.

Pee pee. Balls. Nuts and snot.

Hi friends, anyone got 5 seconds and wanna help me take my self-hosted tracking pixel for my website for a spin? i'm testing to make sure UTM sources work. Just click the link and poke around for a minute, and that should be all I need. Thanks! donaberger.xyz?utm_source=b...

Starting to take my new blog for a spin and testing its sea legs... here's a blog post i wrote today about meeting my hero, Craig Thompson, and how much it meant to me. donaberger.xyz/blog/8-meeti...

There are only two genuine forms of flattery in craft work. One is when your heroes meet you. Another is when they salute you.

You can grab or check out the tool here: forge.mitch.science/mitcheffendi... Feel free to clone, fork, or submit PRs! I am a novice programmer, and know I did things in the least-efficient way possible. Happy to have others contribute!

I just met my cartooning hero, Craig Thompson, this evening. I got to thank him for saving my life by writing 'Blankets', which came out precisely when I needed it. He approved of my own attempt at a similar comic project. What a blessed confirmation.

To the community of #bahai #linux nerds out there, I have been learning Rust, and utilized an existing Cargo crate and the logic of @dragfyre.bsky.social's excellent Badí Date web API to create `bahai-date`, a single-binary tool for solving a Bahá'í calendar date.

Be sure to check out my new website and portfolio! I have work that should interest everyone. :) Side note, I am actively looking for a new full-time role. Hire me! I wanna pictures for YOU! donaberger.xyz #art #graphicdesign #gethired #jobsearch #hiring #startup #startups #hrchat #recruiters

More experimentation with modern video compositing. There are some really terrific tools out there now. This was composed with the MacOS app 'Riveo', then looped with FCP. #vfx

I'd love it if you could check my new personal site out and let me know what you think!

this is a cool, older piece of work... i did a release poster for the documentary 'Mother to Earth', which documented the process that MOTHER 1 underwent to release in the US. I took the time to carefully reproduce an actual prototype of MOTHER 1 in English. #mother #earthbound #nintendo

i found my old portfolio from 2015... i loved that cover! #design #art #illustration #graphicdesign

Playing the Earthbound Zero 25th Anniversary Edition for the first time. I suppose some habits are hard to break.

every once in a while i like to resketch my old CUT/SEW illustrations to see how my linework and character design has evolved. to paraphrase ramona flowers, "i change my art style every year and a half, dude, get used to it."

This is the logo I made for the observability team at Akamai. I always liked how this one turned out. It used only two colors when screenprinted, so the design was very cheap to reproduce. #graphicdesign #tshirt #sre #o11y
