So this seems to have happened: cosmictoast.threadless.com
It is my shop. I hope to add some more designs in the future (which Future Funk will definitely save).
This design prompted by @coraspect.com and human drawn by yours truly.

Trying to keep a sketchbook again, and get back into the habit of drawing (almost) every day.
Gesture sketches are never a bad thing to do.

Day 4 of no main Internet connection. Considering doing something drastic, such as going outside.

Toronto is very cool, but I can't seem to be able to forgive it for not being Tokyo.

Welp. I guess I'm not learning Hawaiian on Duolingo anymore. Bye, evil owl!
Revenue at Duolingo in 2024 was up 41% on 23 to $748M. Net income was up by 451% for same period and yet they're firing workers. We've long been at "insatiable greed" point of late stage capitalism. People may feel helpless but there's a very easy way to kick companies like this. Delete their apps.
I have completely deleted my Duolingo. I was informed by one of my kids that the company has removed most of its employees and 70% of the company is run by AI.

I urge everyone to delete their app.

Got to the last stage in the hiring process for a job only to be yet again rejected. Not enough experience.
At this rate I’ll never have enough experience.

Life is made up of stupid catch-22s.

Not that I'm posting that much here but.
I just deleted both my Twitter accounts.
That felt cleansing.

I just had to help an older woman at a certain fast food chain complete her order at the terminal. There are a lot of buttons and confirmations to find and things to approve and cute marketing lingo that is not always clear.
That’s not good UX. If that wasn’t obvious.

I haven’t posted one of these in a while so here we go. This gloriously purple record is “This is Future Funk Vol.1” from @coraspect.com !

Teamwork with @orenronen.bsky.social helped us debug a really stupid thing in part 2. But we made it! \o/

I just completed "Mull It Over" - Day 3 - Advent of Code 2024 #AdventOfCode adventofcode.com/2024/day/3

It's kinda funky, moving from JS to an actual "real" (lolol 😝) programming language...
Arrays are different, but I can use Collections so yay.
