A year or two ago I saw a video of a Japanese family who make the best brushes for calligraphy. Painstakingly, by hand, a hair or a few hairs at a time. That's what I want to do when I grow up, but for code.

My German has gotten rustier and rustier since my mom died nearly 10 years ago. At that point, she was my last living German-speaking relative. It is getting harder for me to read and forget hearing it at this point.

Happy ninth Mastodon Won't Survive Day to all who celebrate!
