Bokeh

It is day 18 of Horrordailies and I learned a new term: bokeh, which, according to Wikipedia, "is the aesthetic quality of the blur produced in out-of-focus parts of an image, whether foreground or background or both. It is created by using a wide aperture lens."

I was sort of following this tutorial, but I used bats instead of spheres, so... I probably could have placed the bats in a better pattern. But the whole thing was kind of interesting so I'm leaving it.


Foster Kitten Update

Spanner and Sabot have poop that is no longer the platonic ideal (callback to something I said while cleaning the litter boxes a few weeks ago), but I think it can wait until Monday. I have a full bag of LRS if they seem dehydrated. Everybody else seems fine.

Other Stuff

Random notes from the day: Even in my fairly small town, we had a rainbow unicorn at our protest. It was a hit. I think I managed not to get sunburned. There have been a lot of old people at these protests, and today was no exception. The cybertruck that drove by had a No Kings sign, which is exceedingly weird but people are full on contradictions...

Oh, and I sent out my author newsletter this morning. If you're someone who hates signing up for stuff, you can still see the October newsletter here.
