Hey everyone! Long time no see! It has been a minute since I wrote a post here. I have been super busy trying to tie down my interests in tech. At first I wanted to go the front end route, but my interests are changing. I want to try my hand at UX/UI. If you have any courses are resources for me, let me know. Thanks! Anyway. Enough about me. This post is about the famous Pomodoro Technique that was started by Francesco Cirillo in the 1980s.

Using Lo-Fi Music To Code and Get Stuff Done
2020 has been a crazy year huh? If you have been following me on my Instagram, you would know that my coding journey hasn’t been all that great this year. As a matter of fact, it has kinda been at a standstill. Why? Well my brand new HP Envy x360 laptop that I bought in December 2019, crashed three times. Not one, not two, but three times. They finally sent me a replacement laptop that that had been refurbished with my original specs.

This year has been really wonky. I wrote…… Continue reading Using GitHub’s New “Secret” Profile README Feature
PlaceKeanu.com Is The Funniest Image Placeholder By Far
I wanted to bring you a quick blog post about something really funny-the PlaceKeanu.com image placeholder. One of the ways that web developers play around with images on different sites and web apps is to use an image placeholder. Image placeholders do exactly as you think they would do. They hold the space for images on a layout until you put the actual image in the right place. This is how you use the PlaceKeanu.com image placeholder. First add the special Place Keanu url below.Then make sure you add the size for width and height. If you don’t, the image…… Continue reading PlaceKeanu.com Is The Funniest Image Placeholder By Far
I Used the Codepen Design Asset From Unsplash
I used the Codepen Design Asset from Unsplash today on a little self-made web development project. I’m still trying to decide if this blog with be strictly tech or what. I think I am going to do a mix of my life for now, but here is a little tech project I made. This is what I used to make this project: HTML, CSS, SVGs for the background from Hero Patterns, and of course…the Codepen Design Asset from Unsplash. I started on this project out of the blue. I was looking for fall themed stock photos from Unsplash. Unsplash is…… Continue reading I Used the Codepen Design Asset From Unsplash
