So I've just discovered an interesting rabbithole. Did you know you can make your own mattress? I'm moving next month, I should give this a try

We've started talking more about how members of a team can have superpowers - I wonder if it's also worth identifying our kryptonites

Added some color shuffle buttons to color.alivira.com. Check it out!

something else I've been meaning to write about - this was one of those a-ha unlocks one of my first managers helped me with many years back.

The way it encourages you is a nice touch! Has anyone else tried learning with this method? I want to try a voice conversation next.

I always find myself looking up color palettes before making content. Yesterday I thought it might be fun to make a free color harmony picker to help. Check it out!
