Twenty years

Twenty years ago, I bought a piece of the Internet by registering this domain, xavierroy.com.

I know it has been neglected now and then but it has always been the playground for me to learn and experiment with various web technologies.

Whatever I know about HTML, CSS, WordPress and other adjacent tools all come from this sandbox of mine.

I just hope it still continues to do so over coming years too.

Happy 20th!!!

Starlight on Jan 01, 2023

It’s been a while since I headed to the roof of the apartment to watch the night sky. The stars were as beautiful as always. 🤩Unfortunately so was the moon and the light pollution. 🤨

After several attempts (one attempt included Max acting as a statue and another included a brick) to block the moonlight, this one photo stood out with the juxtaposition of nature and man-made objects. This was a 30sec exposure on the phone with cropping and applying one filter (Pop) on Snapseed.
