The Personal Website of Jeremy Boles

It’s about time I get out for one of my walks since coming home, and this heat makes me want to immediately go back inside.

I’m finally feeling better this morning, more like myself, and I feel like I can finally let everything that happened on this last trip sink in. There’s a bit of nervousness about the future, but there’s also a lot of hope and excitement.

How to make a font

I wish I had all of this information laid out like this years ago when I was messing with typography.

Faulty Towers, vibe sickness, and the vibe bobsled

It’s a lot of fun, but you don’t have a lot of agency in it. You sit in a bobsled, you go down an icy track, and really, there is only one way to go.

The 2 a.m. wake-up… this is where the jet lag always gets me.

It’s been a busy first day back so far. I’m already feeling ready for bed, and it’s only 1 p.m.!

Empathy and delight mean nothing when the software is disrespectful

the cost of producing text is now far lower than the cost of consuming it, even though length and detail still feels like a sign that more thinking and more work had been put into something

Chicago O'Hare International Airport

That flight went by faster than any other international flight I’ve been on because I hacked on a natural language parser for about five hours of it.

Chicago O'Hare International Airport

I’m en route to Amsterdam.

Springfield Airport

This airport is such a great one to leave from. I was through security in less than three minutes.

There’s a franticness to leaving home this time that usually isn’t present for me when I travel. There’s got to be something I’m forgetting.

Neighborhood Pizza Cafe

We’re getting a little pre-travel pizza all together before I leave tomorrow morning.

Sometimes I do get nostalgic for things, but you know what…? Old software is just as buggy and unusable as all of these here-today-gone-tomorrow web apps.

Like a college student outfitting their dorm room, I pulled two chairs out of someone’s trash tonight while on my walk and carried them all the way home.

La Roux Bistro

I’m excited to eat here today. I’ve been wanting to try this place for a while now.

Waffle House

It’s always great to meet up with the ol’ college buddies.

I’m starting to understand that, at the moment, my most urgent tasks are doing things that give me more space to think or provide me room to be intentional.

I took eight bags of clothes to the thrift store this evening… eight bags.
