building, remixing, and watching "the shining" in china
I've been working on a blog management platform for businesses. It lets them manage multiple brands or sites from one place, integrate their existing CMS, and has a read-only API so they can stream content elsewhere. Comes with [AI features](tab:https://youtu.be/L6CMypl1q8I) too. I'm using shadcn/ui and I'm happy with how it's turning out.
The process has been a good learning experience. The Webflow API has new changes I had to figure out. The Notion API too -- I worked with it a couple years ago but they had breaking changes since then.
I'm not making money from it yet, but I enjoy building it. Not doing the build in public thing. Just keeping it low, taking breaks, sometimes switching between devices. Doing it slow.
I'm also working on a Shopify app with someone else. It's on the blog side of Shopify. The official blog is pretty basic so we're adding features that merchants and content managers actually need.
## masters of the universe remix
Just finished my Masters of the Universe theme remix. Started it last year but took a break because I wanted to use the original vocals from the show and they didn't sit well in my mix.
After seeing the new Masters of the Universe trailer recently, I got inspired to rework it. Just finished and released it. If you watched the show as a kid, this is for you.
## chinese new year
Chinese New Year is coming. Year of the Horse. That's my zodiac. I have a flight later this month so I need to prepare for that. The asthma has been okay lately -- glad I haven't had any attacks recently. Gotta wear red underwear anyway.
## the shining in china
China released Kubrick's "The Shining" in theaters. That's rare for this type of movie. I've seen it many times but wanted to watch it on a proper big screen, so I did a couple days ago. The censorship was what you'd expect. The nude parts were cropped instead of fully removed.

That's where things stand right now.
Take it easy, dear reader. Wishing you the best.
