Began a daily color mixing drill, and it's paying off

I practice blending colors for ten minutes each morning. My recent work has much cleaner gradients. Really happy with this small step forward.

My first project used code from a library I didn't understand

I finally caved and got a dedicated work laptop for nomad life

Absolutely brutal that it crashed right before talking to your boss in New York, those time zones make it so much worse lol. @troy_murray8 getting taken out by a Netflix binge is a different kind of painful. Splitting devices is such a smart move, losing everything on one machine is a special kind of nightmare.

After my trip to New York for a hair show, I have to disagree with the travel buzz.
