Dear Tumblr,
We are going down to Houston this evening for a baby shower that Katie’s family is throwing for her. When we come back, there will be only about 35 days til our kid arrives. Who will it be? I am excited to find out.
Last night I was tweaking settings on the iPhone app and almost by accident created a “magic erase” tool that can delete a photos background in just a few swipes. You can see it in action here, accompanied by the soundtrack of an episode of Thundercats that I was watching at the same time. I think this app has got some legs, folks! I am getting enormous joy out of seeing some of my beta testers change their avatars to new pictures made with the app. Katie is so sick of hearing about it and seeing my silly test images, that she could poo!
WELL TOO BAD, KATIE. You married me, and now you are stuck with me and my low resolution revolution!
But all this pixel art and Thundercats begs a bigger question: now that we will have a new roommate, who will be the most immature person in our family? Sure, the baby will scream and wee uncontrollably all over itself, and will be unable to care for itself in many ways. However, I was voted “Class Spaz,” (Go, Colonel Zadock Magruder High School Class of ‘96 SENIORS!!!!!!!) and also am currently wearing an ill-fitting Super Mario Brothers teeshirt. I didn’t take a bath before coming to work. Also, I wee uncontrollably.
Place your bets now.
I am determined to submit Make Pixel Art 1.1 to the app store before leaving for Houston today. I have to update the help system to include the features added to this version, and also implement a simple news system that can be used to send updates to users after the app has been released. LET’S DO THIS THING, BEN!
Thanks for reading, internet. The pleasure has been 85% mine, which still leaves you with a very satisfying 15% slice.

Fact: every day at 7PM I have a robot email me and ask about my day. I hit reply and let it know. Later I’ll be able to reference such things.

I did a pixel art version though just to be safe.

Perfect from all angles.
