    I am starting a one month animation class tomorrow. Thought it would a cool self present for my upcoming birthday. At first I thought I would start it on my actual birthday but why wait to start learning. I am very curious to see if my skill levels up.

    A couple of things that always bring me joy are:

    The "you can do this with Javascript" person on a CSS thread. It's like someone going to a thread about speaking French and saying "you can say this in Spanish".

    When a podcast DJ plays an album at the wrong speed, fixes the speed, and leaves it on the recording. It is a signal to me that this is a show that I need to keep listening to.

    I wasn't expecting to be so happy from an iOS update but this last one fixes something huge for me. Before the update everytime my partner or bandmate or friend sent me a message, Siri would say...

    "So-and-so sent you a message that I can't read"

    Yesterday after the update, Siri read all the Japanese messages in Japanese. It was such a relief. All that info that I usually had to pull the phone out to read was "magically" in my ear.

    You don't notice a lot of updates but when they get around to one that affect you, it feels amazing.

    Woke up today to find the veranda covered in snow. I told my partner yesterday that it was snow temperature. Growing up in a place with snowy winters, you develop that skill.

    I really need to note where I am finding music along with the music I am listening to. It's easy to forget the spots and really frustrating when I want to go back to them. Sometimes you can go back with an Internet search but often the source fades into the distance.
