Ripples  Another study of the crane. Yesterday it was the silhouette that drew me in. Here, I loved seeing that elegant shape surrounded by the movement of the water.

Hey listen — I know this is one of those posts that is so easy to scroll past but if you like weird comedy, I really truly implore you to take a few mins and give this a spin. I have a very hard time saying this about my own work, but it’s truly laugh-out-loud excellent. This show got me 2 jobs.

This is your invitation to fall down the rabbit hole that is the PodCube Explorer web interface. I turned my sketch comedy show into an interactive web collectable experience PoweredByPodCube.com

"Indies will save us" No! YOU WILL SAVE INDIES! Go leave a review for that neat indie game you like, share the trailer for an upcoming game you're anticipating, tell your fave developer they did a good job, go tell people about such and such game that's just come out, you can make a difference!

. . . Anyway, I'm playing some cool games! Broken Reality 2000 and I rolled credits on The Mermaid Mask a bit ago. Also had some delicious strawberry-rhubarb cheese crisp from Costco! What have y'all been up to?

And for the really bad news? They've put a target on VPNs. Sites are required to identify (and age-verify) any US citizen, regardless of whether they're using a VPN. In fact, the default is to get the ID and biometrics of EVERYONE unless you can somehow prove their not a US citizen.

"VPNs are a privacy and security tool used by millions of internet users every day, and their use should not be treated as suspect. It is particularly galling that the SCREEN Act forces users who intentionally take steps to protect their privacy to identify themselves."

. . . having a local cafe's selling point be that it's "NY-inspired" is one of the worst things I have heard from a Canadian company. And then it just looks like every other millennial coffee place. Please be serious out here.
