Project: Gagana Samoa
Story time. My family used to run a Samoan newspaper, which taught me so much of what I know about the Samoan language and culture. Back in the early 2000s, I built the newspaper’s first website complete with its own guestbook (remember those?) and bulletin/message board. When the newspaper closed in 2006, I tried to
The More I Learn, the Less I Know
Growing up, I was always ‘the artistic type.’ I was the kid with a paintbrush and a sketchbook, lost in my own world. And I embraced it. Why not? But the older I got, the more I learned that creativity isn’t confined to the artroom. It’s everywhere… literally, every thing… and is most evident to
It’s been a lot
It’s been a couple months since my last post…and it’s been busy. I finished my first university Python course and then, while I wait for next semester, I jumped into a Python bootcamp via Udemy. Still working on that.. In the meantime, I discovered AI. As in, not just the YouTube hype AI I usually
NOT a Python tutorial
One day, hopefully soon, I’ll start posting tutorials for the fun things I’m making with different programming languages, and Python is definitely one of my favourites so far. But that day is not today. Today I need a mental health break from coding. For class, we just finished making a knock off of that Wordle
How I Do
Check out the message I left on the home page of my current re-design project: Seriously, though. Who does that? Oh, but if you ever consider hiring me for your web development project, I promise to be less messy. (By which I mean, I promise to try.) In garden news, we have tomatoes! Almost!

Her Birthday
Remember blogging from before we cared about SEO or hawking other people’s products or building landing pages for funnels? It’s been a while. I’m not saying this website isn’t going to try and sell something, too. It will… eventually. But for now, I’m enjoying the almost vintage blogging experience of just sharing my thoughts because I
The Plan
SO what’s the big plan for 2024? Here’s the main idea: Get healthy Do art Build solutions Make money I’ve been on a bit of a health journey for the last few months…a very slow journey, one that is currently sitting in a setback thanks to the holiday season. My first priority is to get
Hello 2024
I’m a resolution maker. I love to plan. My plans are huge and elaborate and beautiful …and detailed and complicated and ridiculously ambitious. That’s not a bad thing, I’ve reasoned after many years of results that might disappoint others. If I aim for the stars and only reach the moon… I made it to the
I used to do art
Back in the old, old days – like school days, even – I was kinda known for being the ‘artistic’ type. I played piano, wrote my feelings, joined drama clubs and was constantly – always – in the art room. Painting was probably the most visible expression of my inner artist and even though I
