About Me

Hello! I'm glad you found me!

My name is Phoebe, but you can call me Aero!

I'm a creative and nerdy gal living in Canada! Feel free to ask me about any of my hyperfixations, just be prepared for the amount of information I'll tell you at once.

So, who are you, really?

Well I and love to create art in various forms! Primarily user interfaces or anything digital, but I like drawing too!

I really like making glossy user interfaces and icons especially, what a lot of people refer to as Skeuomorphism or Frutiger Aero. It's a pretty difficult artstyle to master, but it is incredibly beautiful, and I like to dabble in it once in a while. I'm also quite fond of other styles, such as Y2K and Neomorphism. In general, I prefer glossy and futuristic styles!

I also like to compose music! I really like creating trance/dance-esque tracks, because of how much nostalgia they invoke. I also like to compose in other genres, but I'm not as well-versed in that.

I mainly like to compose my music in MIDI format, and its limitations make it all the more fun! I also occasionally use Ableton Live to make sound effects, but that's mostly all. I also made a few modules in various trackers, but I find their text-based UIs to be rather clunky and tedious to use...

Finally, I also like coding! I'm pretty good at Python and Java so far, and I have created various little apps, but nothing big yet...

Where can I find you?

I'm mostly active on Reddit and Tumblr. I also have lots of links on Reddit to other websites that I inhabit, like ModArchive, WinCustomize, etc. But in general, these are the main two.

What do you like?

I'm really into vintage tech! Mostly 90s-2000s operating systems and mobile phones. Were they clunky and unintuitive? Sometimes, yes, but each one had its own charm to it.

For operating systems, I'm mostly interested in Windows 9x, XP, and Vista/7, and any other semi-obscure OS like Haiku, for example. And don't forget the good ol' MS-DOS! With phones, I'm mostly into Nokia phones, but Sony Ericsson phones have peaked my interest lately.

I like to contribute to LPCwiki for this reason! You can find my contributions, as well as the list of the phones that I own, on my LPCwiki page.

Maybe I'll add some more of the things I like here in the future, but right now I need to take a bit of a break. Sorry.
