I once wrote a proposal to Unicode for an airship/zeppelin #emoji. I knew it was a long shot but I still thought I’d try (I figured it’d be a fun little claim to fame at parties too).

Hi, I’m Micah 👋
I love all things coffee, like… more than… normal. :neofox_cofe: I have a wonderful wife and best friend @kim and 1 little kiddo. Oh, and a grumpy pudgy cat @atticus.

I’m currently running and on my own personal Calckey instance. I love open source and Linux but I’m not a super diehard I guess.

I try to go about my day being kind to people but I block assholes so ya’ know don’t be one of those.

How to change app icons on Android: Useful if a service has multiple apps with obscure names, or just to change the look of the theme

Partial set of Susan Kare’s Macintosh Classic OS bitmap icons. She had no experience with computer graphics so she referenced her work with mosaics, needlepoint, and pointillism. They were hand-drawn on graphing paper before being digitized.
