Witty Writeups
Introduction I did a lot of research for this post. Shoutout to all the girls on tumblr and youtube who’s life is perfect and together. For example: Especially their handwriting. One of my best friends has perfect handwriting: I should just hire her to write all my crap down. Her handwriting is literally so perfect it could be its own font. Mine’s okay when I try and kinda gross when I don’t.

Partly because I was curious about newfangled technology and partly because I need to try something out for more than 20 minutes. I was eating lunch at work and looking at articles about new technology components- fancy web engines and really pretty interfaces. I’m always enthralled and I always think I should try it but it never gets very far. I start, the supposedly easy to use tool doesn’t compile twenty minutes in or I grow bored and I leave.
