FWIW, the mayonnaise in the Netherlands was pretty fantastic, like genuinely a treat. In France, all the mayonnaise had dijon mustard in it and just didn't work for me.

I've been thinking about getting some mock-up templates for my portfolio, so my presentation looks a little more exciting than a basic screenshot…
and now AdSense is flooding my feed, like the demand is so low that when someone finally showed interest, these companies rush in like hungry wolves.

I really wanted to like Dept. Q, especially being based in Edinburgh, but it was a slog. I hope they find their feet in Season 2.
There were some good bits and characters, but for a show about paying attention to details, there were so many continuity issues.
Akram was great though.

Just had underfloor insulation added to our 1880's Edinburgh flat.
I went down to clear out some junk from the hoarder tenants here before us, and it was pretty terrifying. Like, super gross, with the added fun of me getting claustrophobic.
Thankfully we cleared out a lot of the junk.

Does this image help make sense of the diagram?
As I understand HSL/HSB color spaces better, I'm tempted to make a video explainer.

Doing research into color spaces has been fun. I still haven't decided if I'm an HSL or HSV kind of guy.
That said, I'm really struck by this black & white diagram from a patent filed in 1983, showing how color maps to the HSL space (Hue, Saturation, Lightness).

Learning how to make procedural MacOS Aqua buttons with shaders. 😂
This may become part of a weekend project.

I've been playing around with a shader-based image color analysis tool, which I'd like to share more about soon.
Without explaining anything, does anyone follow what's going on here?

Just picked up a copy of "Understanding Comics" as a present for a young neighbor who's been making a journal in comic format.
Then I noticed the endorsement blurb at the top. 😅 I wonder how long before there's a new printing, and if that stays there.

Maybe this is a set up for them saying they're actually GoBots fans, so they can continue making that awful Apache helicopter joke.

Just about to wrap up a freestyle cables knitting project.
Depending on which side I bind it on it'll become a headband for my wife, or a cute Aran sweater for a snake. 🧶🐍

I've been noticing that window previews for Google Chrome haven't been displaying properly with growing frequency. Does anyone know what might be causing the issue? Bad updates, or is my system slowly dying?
Is it time for a new browser?

This is cool, though I think I want to make a more modern game that's _about_ this time period.
Less of the late '80s neon mall nostalgia, that we have so much of, more like Computer Chronicles style with nerds in tweed suits or the Keaton family home from Family Ties.
