Hello!

So, I learned something the other day. More to the point, I learned that some people needed to learn a particular something. It has to do with a typical typing keyboard.

You know how there’s the little horizontal touchable doohickey on “f” & “j” of the keyboard, and 5 for a number-pad? So that you can find/feel that your fingers are at the right location for typing, without needing to look? (And without needing to type to see if you’re off by a few?)

I found out the other day that some people didn’t know that. Or at least, I think I found that out.

To be fair, I came to this realization after watching a “Ten Crazy Facts You Never Knew” video, or something along those lines. Given that somebody thought the info about the home-row key raised bar-thingy was worth including, I’m guessing that this wasn’t actually taught in everyone’s typing instruction. (I don’t remember if it was in mine or not. I don’t remember a time I haven’t been touch-typing… I know it exists since I remember learning to type, but I don’t remember life before typing.) (Yes, I realize that seems like a contradiction. Tough.)

Anyway. I thought it was interesting.

Have a lovely Wednesday!

Hi!

So, a friend shared a fun link. It’s about a life-sized gummy chicken. I hope he does something like this with a Turkey next year.

It’s quite impressive. Just THINK about how much sugar is involved!

Anyway. Have a lovely Tuesday!

Hello!

So, remember a couple days ago when I mentioned that there’s a kickstarter’d game about “pretending to grownup“?

Well, there’s now a YouTube video demonstrating some basic game play! It looks like it’s going to be a totally ridiculous, completely fantastic time.

And there’s still time left to support it. So, check out the video!

And have a lovely day.

Hi!

So, I was recently shown an online gallery with gorgeous portraits of animated Disney Characters.

The artist seriously does a spectacular job. Especially with children, from my perspective. So, Lilo (and Stitch), and Elsa & Anna are my two particular favorites. Belle is also pretty excellent. (If you look closely, there’s a subtle Beast in the background.) And actually, so’s Mulan. (It hadn’t really registered how young Mulan probably was (given cultures of the time) until seeing her portraiture interpretation. But I keep coming back to Elsa & Anna. Probably because the artist captures Anna’s childlike wonder and Elsa’s older-sisterness so freakin’ perfectly. GAH!

So, yeah. Enjoy!

And happy Monday!

Hiya, readers!

I recently found a thing that I’m really amused by. It’s a card game. Aimed at millennials. It’s on Kickstarter.

It’s called “Pretending to Grownup“. (Yes, “Grownup” has been verbed. It’s a thing.)

I found the concept quite fun, and the art super endearing. And besides, what other cardgames offer a “unipegasaurus”, the cross between a unicorn, a pegasus, and a dinosaur?

I’m very much looking forward to it being actually available…

Anyway. Have a lovely Saturday!
