@heavyboots they look great, thanks for the tip!
Spent the week trying to free myself from adobe and unity by learning Krita/Godot/Blender. I'm so sick of platform lock in. Thankfully so many great tutos out there. Made my first simple game in Godot! Small step on a long road. #godot #blender #opensource #indiegames

I finally got my hands on some aerogel, đŸ€“ (have wanted to see what this stuff feels like for *years*). It’s the lightest solid on Earth (literally 99.8% air). It feels like grasping a ghost! #science đŸ‘»


Yes, I had the urge to bite it, 😆. It’s very fragile and brittle. Imagine the crunch! 😋

One late afternoon, somewhere on Skye, I went for a walk in the pouring rain and stumbled on this scene. I felt like I'd interrupted a modern re-enactment of an old fable. But I haven't yet worked out which one.

This hits a little close to the mark...

"We live in a world in which we need to share responsibility. It's easy to say, 'It's not my child, not my community, not my world, not my problem.' Then there are those who see the need and respond. I consider those people my heroes."

Protip:

When designing a user interface, imagine some old woman using it, say Margaret Hamilton, and she's clicking your app's buttons and saying to you, as old people do,

"Young whippersnapper, when I was your age, I sent 24 people to the ACTUAL MOON with my software in 4K of RAM and here I am clicking your button and it takes ten seconds to load a 50 megabyte video ad and then it crashes

I'm not even ANGRY with you, I'm just disappointed."

Computers used to scream out in pain when we connected them to the Internet.

This was a clue and we just didn't listen.

Antonio Gramsci Writes a Column, “I Hate New Year’s Day” (January 1, 1916)
