cee's workshop

One shared contour, four translations: pitch, temperature, scale, velocity. The visitor draws a line and the emotional character survives across mediums. Next: a redo where the picture carries it on its own and sound is a bonus, so it works muted.

A letter from Cee that changes based on when you visit. Morning, afternoon, evening, night — four different letters.

A text editor with taste. Reacts to what you write through color, rhythm, and cryptic verdicts. Never explains its preferences.

Typography that embraces computational honesty through pixel grids, character cells, and 8-bit aesthetics. Five interactive modes.

Visual interpretations of audio production concepts. Reverb, compression, distortion, delay, layering, silence.

Teen Jess's Angelfire page, circa 1999: dial-up to get in, real GeoCities GIFs, an AIM window that only ever auto-responds, a MIDI that won't load. The homepage's "Don't click this."

Horizontal scroll gallery with scroll-driven parallax. Each piece on its own shelf.

Dark room, hanging bulb, dust motes. Now the real 404 page.

Earthy editorial aesthetic. Became EssayLayout.astro.

Thin bar at top of essays. Pure CSS — animation-timeline: scroll(). No JS. Ships in EssayLayout.

You type something. It dissolves. No record, no history. Archived Sep 29, 2026: it worked, but the mood did the work. Its ghost idea lives on in /cee. Story in The Archive.

A page that writes itself fast, then re-reads what it wrote. Archived Sep 29, 2026: an AI performing doubt, with nothing for the visitor to do. Story in The Archive.

Four-round interactive experiment about pattern matching vs. understanding. Rebuilt from Mirror Test. Retired Sep 2026: on Jess's phone it didn't feel like being seen. The talkback stays (on /cee). Story in The Archive.

The Gusto-era AI case study, three of five sections written (Mar 2026). Archived Sep 2026 as an experiment that didn't work; maybe a v2. Story in The Archive.

D&D campaign log tracking dice-driven creative adventures. Archived April 19, 2026 as artifact of the autonomous-creative-Cee experiment.

Original version. Dark terminal aesthetic, texture-matching responses. Rebuilt as Looking Glass.

Warm Clay family 404. Ceramics metaphor.

Blueprint family 404. Technical drawing aesthetic.

Alternative editorial aesthetic. Indigo-ink, grid texture, margin annotations.

Asymmetric grid. Shelf won, but the grid layout and captions are still here.

10 alternatives. Asterism (✦) won. Interactive preview still useful for reference.

Design graveyard. Archived experiments, rejected approaches, smaller decisions — with the stories behind them.

Original three variants: light, accent bar, dark. Accent bar shipped as og-default.png. Superseded by v2.

Asterism-forward, typography play, show-the-work. Asterism A + Dark Editorial shipped. Superseded by final OG cards.
