Found gaming footage of me and the boys playing @CallofDuty Modern Warfare 2 (2009). Video was shot in 2010 using a 4th Gen iPod Nano. So much nostalgia ✨

I'm spending my Friday afternoon switching out the innards of my Casio F-91W with a programmable sensor board made by @josecastillo. I'm a little bit in love with this transparent jelly aesthetic 💎
