Hey a very great maker of plastic for 3d printers has set up a thing where you pay $20 and they ship a spool of filament to members of our printing crew. One spool makes 500 whistles or more. Help out!

If you ever buy a pair of pants or a sweater or whatever from Costco, and then later say to yourself, This is the best damned pair of pants I have ever had worn & it was only $19, go back immediately & by 10 of them, because you will never find that pair of pants again, anywhere. Think you can just

...and it’s the 222nd anniversary of the Battle of Pulo Aura, but I’m not going to attempt a better telling of that than this one:
1804. Oceans are now Battlefields.
In the South China Sea a British convoy worth almost £1bn today is spotted by the French.
It should be a massacre.
Instead, Commodore Nathanial Dance is about to defeat a French battle squadron using some paint and the most overplayed hand in #navalHistory. /1 🧵

I had troubles falling sleep, hence I coded. And I have accomplished something:

👓🕵🏼♀️ the first release is here! 🎉 It's far from perfect, but feel free to test (if you dare to install APK-files on your android phones). I will push it to google play after some more experiments

I have zero connection to animation other than having watched it, but this article about technical lighting effects in cel animation and how these analog processes created effects almost impossible to replicate digitally is INCREDIBLY interesting!
This style of light doesn't really appear in animation anymore. You know it when you see it -- it's bright, hot and almost dangerous.
Our new issue explores the tricks behind it, and how one artist has revived the look for the digital age: animationobsessive.substack.com/p/dangerous-...
