today i brought a few updates to this place. 

- first is the color notes (what the light held.md) - a kind of color diary of mine, inspired by one of my favorite corners of the internet: [special.fish](https://special.fish/). it keeps track of the color updates i've shared there. 

- i also added a few effects taken from [RV's free Javascript/DHTML effects](https://www.mf2fm.com/rv/index.php) to add some seasonal touches to the space. i'd love to give the site a sense of the seasons, though i don't yet have the skills to realize all my ideas. 

- i'd like to create a folder to track what i’m currently exploring or learning - i love the feeling of researching in the open, like reading aloud in a park (even if no one hears).
