Fixed a bug, created three new ones in the process ¯\/(ツ)\/¯
Added The Land Of Israel to my Write, Right On! page.
Created a page to house my essays, reflections, and other assorted brainwaves (Write, Right On!) for my medium to longform writings. I migrated CTRL+Existence and Exit 43 from the main page to this new space. Updated all the home link buttons on my writing pages to point to Write, Right On! so the navigation flows like it should. I created and uploaded the stupiddddddd desk image, which now sits on the writing page - like it owns the place! The new page features a metallic animated button style, these buttons were built using HTML and CSS, specifically styled with: flexbox layout for vertical and horizontal centering, linear gradients and box shadows to create a metallic look, CSS transitions for hover effects, and a silver glow animation triggered on hover using layered shadows and color shifts. These buttons are fully responsive and designed to match the aesthetic of this site.
I’ve incorporated the Zain typeface designed by Boutros Fonts and originally sourced from Google Fonts and self-hosted to improve performance and ensure offline accessibility. Zain is © 2024 The Zain Project Authors (GitHub Repository) and is licensed under the SIL Open Font License, Version 1.1. I also created a page for my writing piece Exit 43: A Pilgrimage to the Heart of Manufactured Meaning and CTRL+Existence: Simulation Theory, linked both to the main page for easy access. Increased the text font and widened the width in the .container class to 850 pixels for better readability.
Created and uploaded the main background on TransparentTextures.com using the Hixs Evolution pattern created by Damian Rivas and originally found at Subtle Patterns. Updated the Stupiddddddd image and changed the color theme.
I integrated the Single Day typeface for all <h2> elements, originally sourced from Google Fonts. To optimize performance and ensure offline accessibility, I chose to self-host the font files. Single Day is © 2015 DXKorea Inc. and is distributed under the SIL Open Font License, Version 1.1.
Created an about me page (Me, But With Wi-Fi) using the same front-end stack—semantic HTML5 markup and modular, component-based CSS—to preserve UI consistency and ensure adaptive rendering across all viewport sizes. I integrated internal links to both this updates page and the about me page directly into the site's main index.
Created a favicon to the site using a PNG file. Added a link to my blog hosted on DeadJournal.com, setting the link to open in a new tab. Created this updates page (Patch 3.9.9) using the same front-end framework and styling as the main page, using the existing HTML5 structure and modular CSS components to maintain visual consistency and responsive behavior across all devices.
Created the Dumb Genius landing page (August 26, 2025 at 16:07:17 EDT) using a fully responsive design powered by semantic HTML5 and modular CSS. The layout is engineered for cross-device compatibility, delivering a consistent user experience across desktop, tablet, and mobile platforms. The <head> section is configured with essential metadata for proper rendering and scaling, including viewport settings and character encoding. I embedded two typefaces—Ranchers and Henny Penny—sourced from Google Fonts. I decided to self-host the font files because of faster load times and offline reliability. Ranchers, licensed under the SIL Open Font License v1.1, is credited to Pablo Impallari and Brenda Gallo, while Henny Penny is authored by BrownFox under the same license. The page's primary heading utilizes Ranchers at a scalable size, optimized via media queries, while the subheading uses Verdana for contrast and clarity. The layout employs Flexbox to center content both vertically and horizontally, wrapped in a .container class that constrains width to 750 pixels for optimal readability. A jet-black background paired with light gray foreground text creates a high-contrast visual hierarchy. Created the Stupiddddddd image, and placed it on the main page. Below it are interactive buttons, which are rendered with linear gradient backgrounds, asymmetric border-radius styling, and hover states powered by CSS transitions and pseudo-elements. The hover effect utilizes a skewed overlay animation that sweeps across the button surface, adding a layer of motion and depth without relying on JavaScript. The page concludes with a minimalist footer that includes copyright metadata and a timestamp. Overall, the build emphasizes clean markup, responsive behavior, and playful aesthetics.
