State of the TAM - 28 Dec

What’s Up?

I had a very nice, quiet Christmas. There was food, snacks, and lots of fuss for the pups! Despite not being able to take advantage of his full range in the living room Jax managed to do a good amount of destruction on his Christmas presents.

…then some destruction on Izzy’s presents. She was affronted! But they both had a really nice day!

Only three and a half weeks to go before we can see how he’s healed up! That will take another drive up to Portadown, which isn’t a HUGE drive but it kinda drags? Ah well, at least *fingers crossed* it won’t be as icy as last time!

Pupdate of the Week

Jax turned three yesterday! My little Christmas puppy. Despite his poorly elbows we still had a wee party for him and Izzy.

Must Read of the Week

I love the concepts AROUND color. Maybe because I’m a writer, so always looking for different ways to describe things. Maybe because I’m slightly (very slightly) colorblind so my perception of color is kind of off.

I’m telling you! That is a mind-fuck when you find it out, even though it sort of shouldn’t? I mean, the big reveal is the world is slightly more pink than I thought it was. But it’s still WEIRD.

This British Zoologist Wants to Reinvent Color

Andrew Parker has produced some of the brightest hues in the world. So, what’s his secret?

Andrew Parker, an English inventor, artist and zoologist at the University of Oxford, thinks color is not a thing. The world’s best colors, he says, come not from pigments or dyes, but from materials arranged into crystalline nanostructures that scatter light into “structural colors.” And when the $36 billion color industry—which is focused on dyes and pigments—takes notice, Parker think, we will have hues far richer and more dazzling than the comparatively drab tones that surround us today.
