Happy March! The NYC weather last week was in the 60s (F) and sunny and this week it’s cold and windy – I swear, if it snows soon I’m going to send myself into orbit! I’ve been thinking about snow a lot, as one does in March, because I’d been agonizing over what the screensaver I’m making for this month’s Community Code Jam should be. On the one hand, I think it would be cool to have snow falling like the old JavaScript code snippets we used to add to our websites 20 years ago, but also a generative artwork based on the time of day would be really fun and dynamic.
If you have any great ideas, say it to my virtual face this Friday at 2pm Eastern on Glitch Jams Live. While you wait, there’s plenty of awesome community projects and content in the rest of this email to tide you over.
See you on glitch.com
