Three decades of global climate action have slowed the rise of planet-warming pollution, but it is far from enough. The world is on track for catastrophic warming and, in an alarming twist, the worst impacts of the climate crisis are unfolding decades earlier than scientists predicted.

TOON (Token-Oriented Object Notation)
A new data format built specifically for LLMs.
It’s like JSON, but uses 50% fewer tokens while keeping data human-readable and structured.
Perfect for optimizing LLM prompts & API efficiency.

Feeling hopeful this morning, so decided to start a poster. I used Affinity to generate two images and erased the background — ready to use as a reference image. I will start with a vector poster in Affinity and the other in Procreate to practice with the new brushes and styles.

Been playing with the new Affinity app this week. Made this text illustration using isomorphic grid, art text, and a few vector edits to thicken the letter form. Then used glitch and textures to make the illustration more fun.

We don't use it too much for errands or shopping (online & shops very close by) — but do bike down to Surrey to see extend family as well as visit London sights.
Depending on the school we end up with next year, we might use it for drop off/pick up.
