I had drawn a psuedo-animation over the course of some months, and have now shared it. It is particularly flashy in nature, and perhaps was a poor use of time.

I went out on a walk and took some pictures, two of which I felt were interesting enough to share.

In addition, I have now made some small amendments to the page of appreciations. I have found that Edward Tufte has collaboratively developed a digital typeface, https://edwardtufte.github.io/et-book/. Previously, I had mentioned finding value in OpenType features and PostScript metadata, yet did not have a document to display their use. That has changed: https://kaa.neocities.org/PDF/chem-2-9.pdf.

And a small nitpick of a change in style: mid-sentence parenthetical mentions are now surrounded by spaced en dashes, rather than em dashes.

I had done some practice drawing letters this previous friday, and today I completed a small sketch, each of which I have shared.

I had previously failed to find a web-accessible document demonstrating neatroff's Farsi capabilities, however I have now found one published by neatroff's author, at https://litcave.rudi.ir/neatfarsi.pdf. In addition: I now understand the value of small caps and old-style numerals accessible as OpenType features, and have come to mention an iteration of URW's Garamond No. 8 that does just that.

Having read partway into Chapter 2 of The Elements of Typographic Style, I have come to realize how difficult to read a long line can be. With the magic of sizing the font based on screen width, and larger margins, lines are now generally 65 to 70 characters in length, regardless of display width.

A teensy weensy bit of a third color felt like it could do well to act as a sort of accent, and so the underlines of links are now turqoise.

I was recommended to turn down the framerate. Rather than 24 frames per second, the video is now at 6. It no longer hurts to watch.
A photograph initially too dark to view has been carefully remastered from the raw capture, and has now been shared.
