Looks like something is up with our furnace at the moment. We realized yesterday that the thermostat was having some issues and I eventually confirmed that it's not receiving any voltage over the control wires. The furnace circuit itself still has power and hasn't tripped any breakers so tonight I'll be taking a look at the furnace control board.

Spent some more time having fun creating pixel fonts in Decker this morning. Still mostly working in sizes that are suitable for body text or comic bubbles, but did a more complex Gothic one most recently and will probably try a more sci-fi one next.

Tired at the moment. Got a decent amount of sleep last night since I went to bed fairly early, but getting up for the Newcastle game at 4:15 am is taking its toll now.

Another good run with my daughters. Great temperature and general conditions. Everyone felt good today as well.

Dan Monson coaching at Eastern Washington hadn't occurred to me, but I absolutely love the idea of it if he's interested. His dad, Don, still lives in the Spokane area and Dan has so many other connections in the region I would love to seem him return.

I forgot to mention it last night but Michael Rapaport's cameo as Knight Titus in the second episode of Fallout was pretty amusing. Perfect casting as the obnoxious and utterly unheroic human within the armor.

The weather forecast indicates it's supposed to get up to 65°F today, but remain cloudy. That should be quite pleasant for my afternoon run with my daughters after work today.

Fallout is definitely the new show I'm most excited about watching despite having never played any of the games. That was also before I realized that it was a Jonathan Nolan and Lisa Joy project as well, now completely sold. I was also sure I saw an ad for it on Paramount Plus, but it's actually on Amazon Prime so glad I got that sorted out.

Pixel Forge looks like a really amazing tool. Decker's font edit tool is great for what it does, but if you create fonts there it's a lot of work to put them to use outside that environment.

Really surprised that I never posted anything yesterday, but I was focused on work and fun so there you have it. Thinking a lot about pixel fonts lately and even tried my hand at creating a couple of fonts for Decker yesterday.

Pixquare's iPhone app is the best pixel art app I've seen for a phone-sized screen yet. I've known about the iPad app for almost a year, but I finally purchased the full license which includes both today. Importing a few palettes directly from Lospec and a couple of my own custom ones via iCloud was a simple process once I learned the interface.

Missed the men's NCAA Championship yesterday as well, but didn't miss much- UConn had no issues handling Purdue. Meanwhile, Calipari is leaving Kentucky for Arkansas. Had a feeling he would never actually coach UK in the Kennel when they signed that deal.

The Iowa-South Carolina national championship game averaged 18.7 million viewers yesterday and I forgot to watch because it started at noon rather than primetime.🤦🏻♂️
