> January unfolded with an unexpected slowness. I could hardly process that I had been back for only a month; it felt instead as though I had always been here, as though this was not a return but a continuation, and things had never been any different.

## Projects
### All Those We Cannot See
This was an idea from long ago after watching the film [Yiyi (2000)](https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0244316/).
Once I almost thought I would give up this project because I am too introverted to ask more people to take pictures of them. But glad I picked it up again.
Enjoy: https://allthosewecannotsee.space

### Personal Statement Reviewer
This is my first attempt at turning a simple AI prompt into a web app—just prompt + AI at its core, with some design and UX.
To my surprise, I received genuine reviews from people saying it actually helped with their essays.
I think this project is also especially significant for me because it marks a transformation that in my think-trend. A year ago I would have dismissed the project as a gimmick. But now actually hearing good feedback from people around me, I realized that instead of designing grand systems, start connecting with and help people around me.

### Xbox Mac Controller
I built a script that lets me control my Mac entirely with an Xbox controller, effectively replacing 90% of what I can do with keyboard and trackpad.
