Notebook doodles about my first CLI project
Paper by WeTransfer — still my favorite, whoever owns it

Browsing through public APIs today stoked my fascination with all the ways text messaging is made for screen. I feel like House of Cards did it first? That can’t be true…

I had wanted to include one of my favorite scenes involving technology and the ways it can create suspense, but the text messaging happens from inside the phone. No ghostly chat bubbles here!
