Gradient Maps. I love them, you love them.

Except for college, which went over a little of everything, and a couple of bootcamps, I'm self taught.

As I get older, I find that my usual learning process is making me increasingly anxious?

Can't pin down why, but it feels like "I don't know what I don't know".

Doesn't feel like play anymore.

You either need your coffee at a precise temperature or you forget about it and hate the taste of microwaved coffee.

So neurodivergent.

I have a theory

To learn about someone, check out their mugs.

These are some of my wife and I's favorites.

Ok maybe don't look too closely at our mugs 😅

(First mug is by my favorite illustrator, GodMachine)

-2 Charisma is a Twitch stream my friends and I have run forever.

It's also my playground for trying new techniques.
