sane, reasonable posts written by a decent human.

I graduated from one of Canada's top ruby schools with really good grades.

I never knew how much could go into tweaking a map, I'm very proud of this areas this map highlights or hides away. For example, this map highlights Campgrounds from very var away, also water+bathroom stops, as well as places that sell food. Everything else is toned down, high ways, unnecessary car infra.

I also added a high contrast map for colourblind people. In 2023 I met a cyclist with it, during a critical mass ride, he told me how much he struggled reading normal maps. This one's for you, Daniel!

Bridget Riley's work is literally the first thing that shows up in wikipedia for Op Art. I learned about her recently and her work has deeply influenced me, it's visually hypnotic in a very transcendental way. She's still alive and I admire her and her work very much.
