meet tofu 🐶 - a pixel corgi that lives on my shipped work, dies on my laziness, and can haunt me forever (probably). built under 48 hours.
go visit while he's alive: https://tofu-hark.zocomputer.io/
tofu is a personal website with consequences.
pixel-art corgi. health bar wired to github and linear. every hour of silence drains him, live, in front of anyone watching. as health drops the scene shifts cooler and dimmer.
below 20%, any visitor clicks "generate shame." zo's llm writes a meme using my exact idle hours and last commit. memegen renders it. posts to discord. my phone buzzes.
when he hits zero: eulogy, tombstone on /graveyard. 50 flowers from strangers and he comes back from an egg.
tofu talks to visitors continuously - zo llm reads his health, idle time, the hour, whether you've been before. at 3am: "it's 3am and we're both still here."
zo-native: zo llm (minimax 2.7) · zo native database · zo sms
connected: github · linear · letterboxd + tmdb · memegen api
48 hours. 14 animation states. 3 live environments.
the creative vision:
most personal websites are finished before you visit. i wanted one that changes based on whether i'm working.
two worlds on purpose: the main site is a game hud - 8-bit pixel art, press start 2p, 14 animation states. the graveyard is victorian - playfair epitaphs, collective resurrection. deliberately different planets.
the shame mechanic works because it's specific, not clever. zo llm knows my exact idle hours and last ticket. generic shame bounces off. specific shame doesn't.
zo native throughout - llm, database, sms. this is what personal computing looks like when the infrastructure gets out of the way.

FOUND YOU. — A Bumble BFF Friendship Day Case Study
The Project:
"FOUND YOU." is a multimodal brand system celebrating platonic 'soulmates' found on Bumble BFF. The campaign targets the "matches that didn't date... but stayed," transitioning digital connections into high-fidelity real-world memories.

The Workflow:
Concept: Orchestrated a consistent brand world using a global 'Style String' across all generative nodes.
Compose: Utilized the Compositor Node for agency-grade brand precision, manually layering the Bumble Flower logo and custom typography onto 3D environments.
Deliver: Built an interactive Creative Code (p5.js) Polaroid flip with a 'Bumble Spark' particle reveal to bridge the gap between brand messaging and user intimacy.
The 'Bumble Spark' particle reveal via p5.js is such a clever way to bridge the gap between brand messaging and user intimacy.
As a 3D Strategist, I really appreciate how you maintained a global 'Style String' to keep the world consistent across all nodes.
It makes the entire...
