Sci. Comm. Internship Check-in #1
Trying something new. Writing some public journal entries about my internship experience. Struggling really bad with writing a blog post for my internship. I know I want to be about the board game they designed but I don’t know how approach it. Asked my professor for a meeting to bounce off ideas. Tomorrow the holidays start in my region but if I do get to have that meeting, I would really like it to happen as soon as possible.
Started migrating my website to 11ty. It’s been going pretty smooth so far. Practice makes better!
I need to finished populating all the pages that go in the footer before focusing on all the pages in the Projects section. Fortunately, all the text can be in plain old markdown, I think. However, as I changed the format of the Projects page, I need to add pictures to each project.
Crochet Roses
Some photos of one of my latest crochet project. I made a spa headband for my mom last year for her birthday and the day came around again. To the former gift, I added some crochet roses made with red thread. I followed this tutorial by mahum.
Sewing: Zokin
I had some scrap cloth so I remade them into zokins. Zokin is a Japanese cleaning cloth. I followed this tutorial which I saw long ago but didn’t use as a reference this time. I did blind pretty much haha, recalling the general idea of how to make it. For the thread, I used a 3 weight. The white one is 100% cotton and the second is a cotton acrylic blend.

Getting back on Track
Okay, I need a plan. I have put off my internship for an embarrassingly amount of time. What do I need to do? What do I need to do? First, let's see how many hours I have left to complete. Fortunately, I'm tracking my time with ToggleTrack. After doing the math, I can work for about 2.5 hours a day for the next fifteen (15) workdays to reach the 120hour minimum.
This is just the 11ty tutorial I needed to get started! I should take some notes and make my own reference sheet on how to start an 11ty site too.
Found the official Nunjucks docs page. Time to learn Eleventy!
Finished adding a link to People Pledge on my site and found human.json protocol.
I like my writing! I like what I’m writing! Hooray! Yay! I’m so happy!
🌱 Internship Portfolio: Project Overview
Objective Edit several web pages including but not limited to News, People, and Research with up to date information. Steps Draft new versions of selected pages, submit for comments, and apply suggestions before implementation. List current areas improvement on the selected pages and brainstorm potential solutions. Gather references from other science-focused websites. Create wire frames for each proposed layout. Find SEO and accessibility vulnerabilities throughout the site and correct them.
Cross fingers submitting the Format and Design post as an assignment is valid 🤞🏼. I was so confused because the instructor suggested using slides while my portfolio is not hosted in any of the suggested sites and the core design of my portfolio is completely foreign to modern web design.

Kedara’s personal site. Gotta peruse their site a bit more. Love the green!
Yesterday, I found THE SUIT at the mall. It fits me like a glove. Spent about two hours in the store double checking all offered sizes and yes, that is the suit I want to buy.
I was stressed because the previous places I went to, none of them fit through my arm so finding THE FIT was so reassuring. I have a complicated relationship with the whole gender binary rooted in fast fashion so I’m glad that the issue was more on the local market than my expectations or even mere existence.
The store sells European fashion and corresponding sizes so they are larger than the local market’s average. Cloth is high quality but most importantly it FITS just how I want it.
Agroecology Lab's Website Update Postmortem
The header and footer where the only sections that started with a wireframe because it required little technical knowledge of Squarespace’s CMS. I decided on the new layout beforehand and did my best to translate it to the CMS. The footer gave me the most trouble because of the alignment of various elements. I like to start a wiredrame with pen and paper to get familar with each elmenet before brainstorming ideas and try them out on a sketch before making the final design digitally.
