Wip of the Gaon figurine. It’s taking shape! It looks like a distant cousin of him, but I like it

Shadows are not the absence of light—they're just areas lit by weaker and differently colored sources.

Meet Tuxxi! She is known as Tuxxi Tuxedo, the Black and White Burrito. Tuxxi was found meowing under a car when she was a tiny kitten. She now has a home where she is loved and spoiled. She naps in her own cubby hole with blankets and a pillow version of herself. #catsofmastodon

I started developing software in 1976. If you're just getting going in this business, know one thing:

I still have no idea what I'm doing for most tasks. The only difference is that I have experience to guide me.

Learning specific things isn't that useful in the long run. Learning what made something easy or hard is much more valuable.

Take time at the end of every project to make notes for yourself. My latest public example: https://furbo.org/2022/09/13/behind-the-app-wallaroo/

Meet Luna! Her family has a history of taking in animals that need homes. When their dog Juni died of cancer in early 2021, they knew she would send another animal who needed help their way. In late 2021, a kitten was found in their backyard tree. They took Luna in and gave her a home. She is now 2 years old and is still a curious climber. Her caregiver says Luna always entertains them.

A white cat with black spots (Luna) climbing down from the top of a wooden ladder next to the outside wall of a house. She has on a collar and tag. On the second step from the top of the ladder a ceramic duck has been placed.

A photograph of an African mammal with horns and brown hide dashing through grass as a large bird flies behind it. The bird's body is not visible, but its wings are. The gray winged creature flying behind the horned animal makes it look as if the brown mammal has wings, like a Pegasus.

Meet Merlin! He enjoys sitting in boxes and playing with the dog, often at the same time. He has learned to block the tv when treat time is late. He has also learned to lie on the laptop and compose messages with his butt. Thankfully, he hasn’t figured out how to send them.
