Greg created a playful year-in-review page documenting every restaurant he ordered from via Uber Eats in 2023, presented as a mosaic made from food images alongside his humorously self-aware reflections on food delivery guilt.

Roadkills-R-Us is an elaborate satirical 'company' site created by Miles O'Neal, built around the absurdist premise of a roadkill-themed internet nation complete with its own executive, legislative, and judicial branches.
