Webb +Category: Life 2026-01-16 + + I hate the word "impossible" + +Abstract + + Impossible is not a word, it's an excuse. + +Body + + Sometime in my late teens, I came up with the mantra in the abstract + above.

Their half-sized cards look + neat. In addition to that, they have this thing called "Printfinity" + where you can have several designs for the backs of the cards so I + tried that out. Here's what they look like: + + 📸[card back][IMG2] + + 📸[card front][IMG3] + + The icons are SVGs of the original NTT DoCoMo emoji[2] and the + gradients are from Asylab[3][4].
