I have been itching to get an excuse to play around more with this myself, and finally found a lovely one within the context of another little project.

This website has included a little personal API in the footer for quite a while. But in recent-(ish) months I’ve expanded a bit on it, as you can see in the screenshot above.

Ohana’s old name tag was custom-made with a laser cutter – for both cutting the shape and adding her name and the phone number.
