I wasn't happy with 8 different themes on my website, so there's now a 9th one, which lets you customise the main settings. It's driven by about a dozen #CSS custom properties (I love theming in CSS holy heck…I should write about it). It was a good… distraction, to build this.

Anyway, maybe you want some "Matrix" or bubble gum style instead of my painstakingly and lovingly crafted themes? That's fine, express yourself everywhere! Even on my personal website!

I've added a non-standard #slashpage — `/music`, listing out artists I enjoy: https://chriskirknielsen.com/music

Some logos (preferring symbols to avoid too many Deftones situations here) aren't available on the official sites as SVGs (bless the ones which do), so I have to remake them manually (Carpenter Brut was a fun challenge!). It'll take a while to build this out fully — and it'll be ever-shifting — but I think it's pretty cool to have this grid of logos, given logos are pretty rad… Yay for #music!

I rebuilt my website archives page to use a timeline-y look because… reasons: https://chriskirknielsen.com/archives/

I now want to create read-only version of my old PHP fan-sites to host somewhere but that's a lot of work. 👀

I wanted to make the backdrop of my website's menu (on mobile) be frosted glass, but with a rough texture. #SVG filter (with SVGFM: https://svgfm.chriskirknielsen.com/, hashtag always be pluggin'), boom, done! Except Firefox is like "whoa not with `backdrop-filter`" (fine with `filter` though), and Safari still doesn't know what an inline SVG filter URL is. Boo. :( Time to file/find browser bugs…

Anyways, check out that texture — sure would love to ship it. 😢

I just got my new Danish passport and compared to the old one, they added a cool design feature: runes! It's using the Younger Futhark and I don't understand it all (but some thanks to learning some Futhark, you can too: https://codepen.io/chriskirknielsen/pen/OJwvQRe).

I obviously won't photograph my own passport but you can kind of see it in this specimen (boosted the color a bit). I know runes have somewhat been co-opted by nazi scum, but I think this is a nice touch to pay hommage to the country's history.
