Attributions

This blog uses a few materials and inspirations from many creative others on the internet. I would like to show my appreciation to them:

• favicon.io is where I generate the favicon for this website. It’s fun, easy and free to use. Thank you John Sorrentino for creating such an amazing site
• blog.summerwind.jp is one site that inspires me greatly in some UX design points. Its simplicity attracts me so much, and I certain have taken some great UX design in my own making. Moto Ishizawa (summerwind) is my unmet sensei
• etch was the hugo theme for this site between late 2022 to early 2026. Even though I have started building my own theme, the design philosophy of etch continue to impact me, so I would like to give it a special shoutout! Thank you Lukas Joswiak !
