It's cool, but I don't really see a portfolio on the portfolio site.

Best Xbox console. It had pretty good games. Sad they were unable to keep that momentum going and are basically nope’ing from the console business altogether now.

Late night uno sessions were a lot of fun. Not everyone had a camera so voice chat was "off the chain" as they used to say

Now for an additional kickback: nostalgia induced here is about the NXE, but it famously displaced the original Blades dashboard.

Blades was better than the redesign

Last week I was thinking exactly about how I missed the old xbox interface. "Would be cool" I thought, to build a modern web UI nowadays.

Now, I see this :)

And what does the pattern on this site decode to? Maybe some nifty easter egg?

It can probably be decoded with some Dungeons and Dragons-level incantation of ffmpeg.

You don’t need to do anything complicated. Take a couple screenshots and crop to a slice where the rings are expanding horizontally. There is your barcode.

Thanks, but that’s royalty free music which is not an issue.

Your original question sounded like you were unaware of how licensing music works. Royalty-free is a good place to start. If you want anything else, you can still do it legally, you just have to license the music for your use case. Various artists (and labels) provide various licensing terms. If you know someone, they might let you do it free. If you're specific question was meant to be "did this person license this…

Your original reply sounds like you didn’t open the music list on TFA,

which has three somewhat popular songs,

making royalty-free music emphatically not the topic.
