They also drastically reduce the selling price/value of your home and have no discernible local benefits that you can directly take advantage of. Huzzah!

We’ve really enjoyed helping out our fellow indie developers craft new, shiny app icons for their apps. Kind words like Cameron’s remind us why we love what we do so much. 😄

Slots are still open, and if you’re already in the queue, hang in there, we’re working hard to get to you. Thx!

One of my favorite Dolly Parton appearances was when she guest starred on the sci-fi show The Orville. Creator Seth Macfarlane was a HUGE Dolly fan and he was determined to write her into the show. They created a special set at her home so she didn’t have to travel to film. The whole ep makes me smile but here’s the awesome setup:

Watched the first two ep of #Lanterns. They were pretty good. I like how it sets up the lore and the characters and does so in a way where you don’t really need to know anything about Green Lantern himself. Will be fun to see where the series goes.

Twitter’s user base can be hundreds of millions of people but unless the algorithm feeds your posts into their timelines they’ll never ever see or engage with you. Also, wanna guess what % of Twitter’s user base are spam or bots or inactive accounts? A LOT.

The My Pillow Guy lost his primary. Womp womp.

I am in continual awe of Chris’ work. There are some artists that just have my deep, sincere respect and he’s one of them. I don’t know where his creations come from but I’m so grateful for every single one. If you’re not following him, you really should be. Amazing.

Me: I just filled the feeder a day ago! There’s no way it could be empty already…

Checks hummingbird cam footage….

Oh. Oh. 😳

Fun fact: I drew this week’s free Futurama #WallarooApp wallpaper in #LineaSketch on the iPad. So I’m doubling up on the old eating’ my own dog food thing. I’ve wanted to turn my own screen into the crashed screen from the opening credits for years and finally did it. Too much fun. 🤓
