Hello my friends!
I hope you all had a wonderful week (and long weekend if you had one)! I was sick this week, but luckily I've mostly recovered and have been coding up a storm in the meantime! Let's boogie.

Something that interested me this week
This week, because I was fighting off a pretty bad cold, I admit I didn’t get to do a lot on my projects. But, I did start a new anime (or rather, new to me, it’s a pretty old one) called Hikaru no Go.
I haven’t seen a ton of it yet, but it’s about playing the game go (note my Kickstarter below), and so far I’m really enjoying the story and seeing the realistic games!
That being said, https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/cassidoo/go-on-the-go?ref=dj6n7u">my Kickstarter project is still live! It’s fully funded (woo hoo!) and I am so grateful for any and all support! If you’d like to join in, you still have time (about 2 weeks until it finishes up).

I was named after my mom.
I couldn’t possibly have been named before her!
That’s all for now, folks! Have a great week. Be safe, make good choices, and listen to some music you love.
