Brown Thrashers are hard to spot for their size as they spend most of their time in thickets and shrubbery. However, they can be heard rummaging along the ground in the leaf litter and soil, looking for insects, but they also eat berries, beetles, and flying insects from the air.
Over 1000 different song types are sung by these most accomplished songbirds, which is one of the largest of any North American songbird.
Attract Brown Thrashers to your backyard with dense cover and berry shrubs, and they will collect fallen seeds from under feeders.
White-crowned Sparrows are spotted in New Hampshire during the spring and fall migration in May and October. They are spotted in up to 13% of checklists at these times.
White-crowned Sparrows are large grayish sparrows with long tails, small bills, and bold black and white stripes on their heads.
Zonotrichia leucophrys
White-crowned Sparrows breed in Alaska and arctic Canada before heading south to the lower 48 and Mexico for winter. However, some may remain along the Pacific Coast and the mountainous west all year.
You can find White-crowned Sparrows in weedy fields, along roadsides, forest edges, and in yards foraging for seeds of weeds and grasses or fruit such as elderberries and blackberries.
Nests of White-crowned Sparrows are made from twigs, grass, moss, and pine needles, often low to the ground in shrubs or on the ground in the tundra. They lay up to seven eggs, which take up to two weeks to hatch and around nine days for the chicks to fledge.
Attract White-crowned Sparrows to your backyard with sunflower seeds, and they will also eat seeds dropped by other birds at the feeders.

Louisiana Waterthrushes appear in 2% of summer checklists in New Hampshire. They are mainly spotted here from April to August.
Louisiana Waterthrushes are drab in comparison to other warblers. They are brown on top and pale below. They have a white eyebrow stripe and long pink legs.
Parkesia motacilla
Length: 5.9-6.1 in (15-15.5 cm)
Weight: 0.6-0.8 oz (18.2-22.9 g)
Louisiana Waterthrush breed in eastern US states and can be seen in the southeast during migration. They spend the winter in Mexico, Central America, and the Caribbean, arriving back in spring early in the year.
You can find Louisiana Waterthrush along streams and moving water in woodlands hunting for insects, vertebrates, and larvae.
Nests of Louisiana Waterthrush are along the bank of a stream and hidden in roots or under logs. The nest is made from leaves, pine needles, and other plant material and is held together with mud.
Marsh Wrens are not very common here, but they are spotted in New Hampshire during the breeding season. They are most likely to be seen from April to October and appear in 1% of summer checklists. However, a few hang around until January.
Marsh Wrens are brown with black and white streaks on their back. Their underside is grayish brown, and they have the distinctive upright tail of the wren. Males and females look the same.
They look similar but lack stripes on their shoulders and have longer bills than Sedge Wrens.
Cistothorus palustris
Marsh Wrens breed in northern US states and Central Canada before migrating to southern states and Mexico. Some birds in the west and along the Atlantic Coast may remain resident all year. They can be spotted during migration in the eastern US.
You can find Marsh Wrens in wetlands clinging to reeds, with each foot grabbing a different stalk. They can be hard to spot but listen out for singing amongst the reeds, especially at dawn and dusk. They eat insects and spiders, which they pick off leaves close to the water.
Nests of Marsh Wrens are fully enclosed, except for a small opening in the top. They are made from reeds and grasses woven together.
Spotted Towhees are considered rare or accidental species in New Hampshire, but they were last spotted around Rockingham.
Spotted Towhees are large sparrows that are black on the head, throat, and back in the males and brown in the females. Both males and females have reddish-brown sides and white bellies, with white spots on their wings and back and long tails.
Pipilo maculatus
Spotted Towhees live in western US states, but those inland in the north migrate south to Texas after breeding.
Spotted Towhees can be found on the ground in dense tangles of shrubs scratching around for insects, including beetles, crickets, grasshoppers, caterpillars, wasps, and bees. They also eat acorns, berries, and seeds.
Nests of Spotted Towhees are usually on or near the ground and made from leaves, stems, and bark lined with softer material. They lay up to six eggs, which take around two weeks to hatch and a further ten days for the young to fledge.
Attract Spotted Towhees to your yard if you leave overgrown borders, and they will visit platform feeders or ground feeders for Black Oil Sunflower seeds, Hulled Sunflower seeds, Cracked Corn, Millet, and Milo.
Golden-crowned Sparrows are accidental species in New Hampshire. They are extremely rare in the state and have only been spotted around Derry back in 2010.
Golden-crowned Sparrows are grayish-brown underneath and streaked brown on the back. Their heads have a black crown and a bright-yellow forehead.
Their colors are duller and brown on the crown in winter, and the yellow forehead is also duller.
Zonotrichia atricapilla
Golden-crowned Sparrows breed in Alaska and western Canada before migrating to the West Coast for winter.
You can find Golden-crowned Sparrow in weedy fields scratching for seeds such as dock, sumac, and geranium. They also eat fruit such as apples, grapes, elderberry, and olives. Insects, such as ants, beetles, butterflies, and termites also make up some of their diets.
Nests of Golden-crowned Sparrows are usually on the ground and made from twigs, moss, and leaves. They are lined with softer materials, such as animal hair, grass, and feathers.
Attract Golden-crowned Sparrows to your backyard with seeds on ground feeders or plant native plants that fruit.
Bewick's Wrens are extremely rare birds to see in New Hampshire, but the New Hampshire Rare Birds Committee has accepted them as accidental species in the state.
Bewick's Wrens are brown-backed birds with long gray upright tails with darker barring. They have gray bellies and a white stripe over the eye.
Thryomanes bewickii
Bewick's Wrens live in southern and western states all year with some small movements in winter.
You can find Bewick's Wrens in scrub, thickets, and open woodland, hopping from branch to branch, flicking their long tails. They feed on insects and larvae, including bees, bugs, caterpillars, and beetles.
Nests are on rock ledges, old woodpecker nests, nest boxes, or crevices in buildings. They are cup-shaped and made from sticks and grasses with a softer lining. Thye lay 3 – 8 eggs, and hatching takes around two weeks and fledging a further two weeks.
Attract Bewick Wrens to your backyard with suet, mealworms, and hulled sunflower seeds.

Elin Torell, PhD '03
Environmental Studies PhD Program
"Although I traveled a lot during my time as a PhD student, I never felt disconnected from Antioch because so much of our work was presented and discussed online."
Natural Resource Studies Lures Student from Rhode Island to Tanzania
Originally from Gothenburg, Sweden, Elin Torell, PhD '03, thought she'd be in the United States for one year when she received her scholarship to work at the Coastal Resources Center (CRC) to study the history of water quality and fisheries management of Rhode Island's Narragansett Bay. She recalls "first learning about Antioch University New England, AUNE's approach was a perfect match, allowing me to be part of a challenging PhD program while continuing to do fieldwork through CRC."
Elin became interested in doctoral work while studying natural resource management issues during her master's program in Human and Economic Geography at the University of Gothenburg. As research for her dissertation, Elin studied the learning strategies of two coastal management initiatives in Tanzaniathe Tanga and TCMP projects, following the projects for four years. "Although I traveled a lot during my time as a PhD student, I never felt disconnected from Antioch because so much of our work was presented and discussed online."
Elin appreciated the non-competitive, supportive environment at AUNE. Great effort was put into building a community and spirit within each cohort and between the years. The friendship and level of intellectual support from this diverse group was and continues to be amazing. Working at CRC, Elin is still one of the members of the East Africa Team, spending about one to two months in Tanzania every year. She is also leading a new project to mainstream gender equity and demographics into coastal management initiatives worldwide. "The PhD program provided great training for working with these complex and cross-cutting issues."

HAIL SAGAN Releases New Video 'Stealing The Crown' & Announces North American Tour
June 26, 2017 by Kickey
Female fronted Los Angeles hard Rock band HAIL SAGAN announce the release of the new video for their single "Stealing The Crown". The video was directed by Mathew Crum and produced by Sagan Amery and Nick Quijano of HAIL SAGAN. Check out the video below.
Vocalist Sagan Amery commented: "We wanted more of a fantasy feel to this compared to our debut video, Dark Cloud, which appeared with real life-style videography depicting scenes of bullying and violence. Though Stealing the Crown also confronts a dark subject matter, such as exploitation, greed, and disloyal people, the imaginative effects create more of a supernatural environment."
HAIL SAGAN has also announced their first set of tour dates with Mushroomhead on their North American tour. See the tour dates below:
7/8 – Pittsburgh, PA – Rex Theater
7/9 – Easton, PA – One Centre Square
7/16 – Sioux Falls, SD – Bigs Sports Bar and Billiards Wednesday 13 also headlining.
7/17 – Bismark, ND – Our Place Tavern
7/18 – Omaha, NB – The Bourbon Saloon
7/19 – Joplin, MO – Guitars of Joplin
7/20 – Monroe, LA – Live Oaks Bar & Ballroom
7/21 – Fort Worth, TX – The Rail Club
7/22 – Tyler, TX – Click's
7/25 – Little Rock, AR – The Revolution Music Room
7/28 – Wichita, KS – The Cotillion
7/29 – Denver, CO – Summit Music Hall
More dates to be announced on Hail Sagan's social media pages and website.
HAIL SAGAN blasted onto the music scene in June of 2016 with their heavy hitting, debut single, "Dark Cloud", which highlighted important issues such as bullying, violence, and suicide. Surrounded by a ghoulish league of masked musicians, Sagan Amery, the "purple princess," as proclaimed by her followers, shines as a rebellious voice for the misunderstood. The philanthropic band who is continuously donating a portion of all funds to various charities, and who offers a network of outreach to those suffering from mental illness, released a self-titled EP in October of 2016, and continues to tour extensively. Hail Sagan has recently signed with the premiere booking agency TKO as well as Ricochet Management.

Mr. DeBartolo, I just wanna say hi. I loved MAD when I was younger and your name was always associated with MAD's funniest parodies. I wish I could find a good DL of all those vintage MAD paperbacks that made me howl with laughter..
What? Me worry?...about this not being a great programing move on TCM's part?
(...no way, dude...lookin' forward to it, Mr. DeBartolo...thanks for the heads-up here)
I think a few heads just exploded over at the 'who else doesn't care for' thread.
Why, what a coincidence...I was bored the other night and rooted through my garage to find my set of reprints of the old EC Comics line of William Gaines and now I find to my delight a Mad connection to look forward to on TCM.
How utterly maddening...
Thanks, Mister D!
I'm so excited, I'm thinking of going door-to-door to tell folks tonight's the night I co-host an evening of movie satires with the incredible Robert Osborne, But I figured this is the place where the real TCM fans are! I wanted to post a picture of Robert, Sean Cameron, who produced the evening, and myself - but I don't see an icon to upload a photo. Yet, I do see photos on other pages. Any suggestions? Yes, Me Worry, or is that excitement? Thanks! Dick De, MAD's Maddest Writer.

Hi Wiz,
To post a photo -
Obtain the URL of your pic and place it between the exclamation marks, as such:
!http://i44.tinypic.com/2eol451.jpg!
Then you post this and your pic will appear.
Thanks for info on how to upload a photo. I think I've got it. Uploading (hopefully) a photo of Sean Cameron, (producer of tonight's movie satires segment), Dick D (me) and the always wonderful Robert Osborne.
If there's no photo here. Sorry about that.
I haven't yet mastered the distinction between uploading and downloading. I DO know the difference between up and down.
Ok. Dick DeBartolo is hosting tonight. He's wearing socks, I can understand and am not put off by his speech, and his hair is combed. I like him.

To TheGizWiz (and we won't even get into the implications of that user name):
You did a fine job, I'd love to see you get a regular gig hosting movie spoofs.
By the way, that line about Walter Brennan's false teeth in SUPPORT YOUR LOCAL SHERIFF was probably inspired by a running gag about Brennan's character in RED RIVER. He lost his teeth to a fellow player in a card game and has to borrow them every time he wants to eat.
It would probably be easier just to have a diet of soup, oatmeal, and Ensure.

Mr DeBartolo, I applaud your choice of movies the other night. I like *Murder By Death* a lot, it has some great moments and its great seeing that cast together (Alec Guinness was particularly fun) and I always find Elsa Lanchester so delightfully quirky. Peter Falk was also a standout and just a year or so later he starred in Neil Simon's *The Cheap Detective* which was an even better film and a dead on satire of classic Bogart. So if you get another cohosting gig with RO...

Head Coach Carl Torbush
ETSU holds third-annual Carl Torbush Football Coaching Clinic
JOHNSON CITY, Tenn. (March 28, 2015) - While this weekend marked ETSU Football's third-consecutive year hosting the Carl Torbush Football Coaching Clinic presented by Appalachian Orthopaedic Associates, it was the program's first-ever coaching clinic featuring its complete staff.
"This is the first time our complete coaching staff has had a chance to mix and mingle with coaches from the local and regional area," ETSU head coach Carl Torbush said. "I think the intermingling, making friendships, and bonding together will help us down the road—not only in a football way, but in a recruiting way, as well."
The clinic, which was held Friday, March 27 and Saturday, March 28 in the ETSU/MSHA Athletic Center, benefited ETSU coaches and visiting coaches, alike.
ETSU Football alumnus and current Tennessee High head coach Mike Mays ('92) was one of many coaches in attendance for the weekend's events, which included demonstrations from the ETSU coaching staff, as well as coaches from area colleges and universities, such as Carson-Newman, Maryville, and Tusculum.
"Sometimes when you go to clinics, you get caught up on certain things, or they don't give you all the information," said Mays, who was named 2014 Football Coach of the Year by the Bristol Herald Courier. "The ETSU staff is open to questions and will give you everything you want. That's the biggest thing I liked about this. I'm not sitting in a room full of 300 coaches getting a little information. Here, I'm getting a lot of quality information."
Day One of the two-day clinic featured an interactive "Coaches Coaching Coaches" segment, demonstrations on ETSU's offense, defense, and strength programs, a Fellowship of Christian Athletes dinner provided by Bojangles, and guest speakers from Appalachian Orthopaedic Associates and the Tennessee Football Coaches Association.
Saturday's slate included demonstrations by Carson-Newman assistant head coach Mike Turner, Maryville co-defensive coordinator Paul Humphries, and Tusculum assistant coach Justin Zimmerman, in addition to a presentation on ETSU special teams by outside linebackers and special teams coach Antonio Goss, who was a two-time Super Bowl champion as a player with the San Francisco 49ers (XXIV and XXIX).
"One of the highlights of our clinic was the demonstration in the weight room with our strength coach, Allan Johnson," Torbush said. "Al [Johnson] did an excellent job presenting our strength and conditioning program. Our 'Coaches Coaching Coaches' segment was very successful, because it actually allows high school coaches a chance to get out, get in a stance, and go through drills if they would like to. I think that part of our clinic will grow by leaps and bounds."
ETSU defensive coordinator Billy Taylor leads a demonstration Friday, March 27
Saturday's schedule culminated with an ETSU Football spring scrimmage, allowing coaches and fans a chance to see the Bucs in action.
"This is the first spring we've had football, so we felt like it was very important to have a scrimmage so our local coaches can see some of their players practice to see how much improvement they've made since high school,"
I think we have made a ton of improvements since last fall," Torbush added. "That was a beginning point. Now, we've had an offseason to grow bigger, faster, and stronger. Again, Coach Johnson and his strength staff have done a great job. There is no doubt that we are a bigger, faster, and stronger football team than we were this fall. We've got a long way to go. We are nowhere near where we need to be to start the football season, but I do feel that if we continue to make the same amount of improvements from now to our first game, we will have a chance to be competitive week in and week out."
Coaches in attendance at the weekend's clinic, including Mays, took notice of the ascending trajectory of the Bucs' program.
"It is exciting to see the steps forward they are making as far as the locker room, weight room, and assembling such a great staff in this first year," Mays said. "They have great knowledge, and this has been a great opportunity for local coaches to come in and learn some good football. With this coaching staff, the program is definitely headed in the right direction."

After months of waiting the Hologram tutorial is finished!
I had quite a bit of trouble working out how to explain this one, so hopefully it turned out alright :). I'm hoping to get another tutorial out next week, just haven't worked out what to teach yet haha.
Haven't managed to get anything else done yet, but I'll give a screenshot of a very short (4 minutes ish) film that'll hopefully be coming out next week or the week after. It's an absurd action comedy set in the universe of Bunny (*the 1 person who remembers what that is groans*).
Other than that, just been playing around with ideas for Gwenocide, haven't settled on how the remaining episodes will play out so no scripts or footage to share.
Bad Reviews of (Mostly) Good Movies!
Seen a lot of films recently!
Gaaah such a great film! I could have sworn I mentioned it in a blog post but I guess not. Saw it again for the third time and damn does it hold up well on multiple rewatches. It's thoroughly entertaining, does a great job of explaining how it all went down in an engrossing fashion. Directing and acting is top-notch, and the score fits every scene perfectly. Honestly there isn't really anything to fault about this film apart from maybe the obvious joke here and there. Just go see it, even if you don't like political dramas you'll probably like this, it does a great job at showing the crisis through the eyes of actual people, not just through figures and charts.
Think both are pretty good films, although I prefer The Dark Knight Rises. I just can't accept secret cults and ninjas in this more grounded universe, whereas somehow the Joker works perfectly. I'd chalk it up to the genuinely amazing performance put into him (seriously the number of minor expressions, ad libs and gestures and just fantastic, and the eyes, it's all in the eyes and the Joker's eyes are perfect (yeah that probably just sounds weird but anyway)), and the more interesting and involved theme of justice in a corrupt world. I'll admit it can be a bit on the nose at times, but for a superhero film it's pretty smart I guess, and the action is great. Oh and directing, acting and score is fantastic as well. One last thing that wins me over is the scene where the Joker plummets off the building, for some reason that scene just gets me, adrenaline and everything and it's just the most excited and involved in a film I've felt in ages.
Saw all the Alien films (1-4). Loved Alien (who doesn't right?), and Aliens was pretty fun and had great action, no matter how dumb it was. I've always been absolutely terrified by H.R Geiger's screwed up creature and it's definitely at its best in Alien. I find the way the enemy changes continuously throughout the film means you're never accustomed to what's going on which enhances the tension. Of course there are a few parts that haven't aged too well, the once terrifying chest-burster scene is now pretty funny and some of the alien's movements can be a bit mechanical, but overall it's still a really good film.
Aliens was a fun action film, which from what I understand basically created the genre of sci-fi military action films (Like Avatar),so that's cool I guess. The aliens are a lot less scary in this one, although I find a lot of the action scenes still aren't "fun cool" action and more "oh crap run" action which I prefer.
On the controversial back-end of the quadrilogy, I actually liked Alien 3 (saw the "director's" cut). The plot could definitely be better (although were some interesting themes semi-explored in there) and some of the alien puppetry looked pretty bad. However I prefer the aliens to be scary and in Alien 3 they were...like really scary. The visuals and score were spectacular and I found - just as an experience that isn't thought about tooooo hard - it was a really good film. I'm just kind of sad since it was so close to being a fantastic film but ended up being...not, especially under closer inspection. I can understand why lots of people don't like it, the film is also extremely dark with a large amount of comedy coming either from sadistic irony or character moments spread few and far between.
Alien 4 on the other hand was so far from being good that it was enjoyable as heck. Just everything was dreadful from the plot, the acting, the camera work, the directing, the score, everything. So that was a hilarious and entirely forgettable mess.
In all honesty, I don't like most Marvel films. I wasn't a big fan of The Avengers and in general find their movies predictable, and incredibly fun garbage (hence why I've seen almost all of them haha). This doesn't change toooo much here, although I think this film was a step above its predecessors. I know a lot of people didn't buy into some of the reasons characters chose sides, but they all made sense to me and the debate being had seemed reasonable. I was actually really impressed by the script for being able to manage this huge cast of characters in such a seamless way, all the characters had suitable development. I also really liked the film taking a more grounded approach in showing how much damage previous films had caused which was something that took me out of those a lot. Look, maybe I watch superhero films for the wrong reasons, but yeah I think this one was a lot better than the others.
Oh and also THE NEW SPIDER-MAN IS FANTASTIC AND WAS COMPLETELY POINTLESS IN THE FILM BUT AAAAH!! It's so good to see another decent Spider-Man, really made me think of Tobey Maguire's Spider-Man but younger. I really didn't think Andrew Garfield was a good Spider-Man (not to mention the horrible scripts and directing in the films he starred in) so I'm hoping the new set of Spider-Man films are good (I'm sure they'll be as generic as most of the other Marvel films but 'eh, I can hope).
Time Lapse was an interesting sci-fi about a camera that takes a picture a day into the future every 24 hours and the problems this creates for a small group of friends with differing opinions on how it should be used. I thought the film's pacing could be improved, and I found some of the plot to be a little disappointing in terms of how separate it felt from the main themes of the film. However particularly the first 30 or so minutes are really strong, and the directing is great; with pretty much the entire film taking place in two rooms the use of camera angles and lighting help make it still seem fresh. I also really liked the idea of the artist (as usual I can't remember anyone's names, sorry!) gaining inspiration from photos of his paintings from the future, I thought that was an interesting idea. Performances were all pretty solid for the most part as well. I'd say the film wasn't the greatest, and had a lot more potential that it wasn't able to strive for just due to its limited budget; what is there though is still a pretty good watch so I'd recommend it.
Oh, also just remembered I saw Every Secret Thing. I...I wouldn't say it was bad, but it was wholly forgettable. I found the performance of the leads to be underwhelming to say the least, although was surprised at the competency of the child actors. The story was alright, but was stretched out too much and clearly shown out of chronological order in order to make it seem more complex than it really was. I'll admit there were some interesting shots directing wise though, so I enjoyed a couple of those I guess. I think my main issue with the film is just how incredible dull the entire thing is; cast in a gray tint, filled with people that just seem bored and unhappy, glacial pacing and yet including scenes that are just straight up pointless. Darkness doesn't work (on me at least) without contrast, lighter moments sprinkled in to juxtapose and make the darker ones stand out. In this film everything is just so grim it creates a divorce between me and the main characters that crushes any immersion and empathy I may have had. I couldn't say I'd recommend it, unless you're in to that sort of grim and meandering story I guess.
Anyway hopefully I'll be back in a couple of weeks with some more completed stuff, thanks for reading :).
I've finished a bunch of Shader Sandwich Tutorials!
And here's a more advanced one, a water shader tutorial!
I also figured I'd make a vlog, since it'd be fun and also useful for those who subscribed to my channel without realising how eclectic it is haha.
Alright this one was pretty short, but yeah :). Thanks for reading!
So yup, that's what I've been up to. I've probably missed a few things, but if so I'll cover them in the next post (which hopefully won't take a month!!!).
Anyway hey everyone! I'll cut right to the chase, Shader Sandwich V1.3 is finished! I've sent it to the Asset Store team, should be online in a week :).
- No longer Surface Shaders, so more possibilities in the future!!
- ZTesting and render queue selection added.
- A whole lot of bug fixes..
Alright so now for the excuses as to why it's taken more than four months to make this!! First off I'm really sorry to all my customers, I'll be making a proper apology on the asset store thread, but yeah I feel really bad for how crappy I've been in supporting Shader Sandwich recently.
In all honesty I don't have that many good excuses, it mostly came down to me prioritizing school and film making over Shader Sandwich. Basically, what happened was I had been working on this version a few months back and had started on pretty much every new system (volumetrics, code editing, POM shadowing and proper edge clipping, the new shells system etc etc), and in all of them I hit road blocks. I spent weeks and weeks trying to solve them but I just couldn't, mostly due to bugs or limitations in Unity.
So I slowly started to give up, and around this time school was kicking into full swing so I started to dedicate more time to that, and using my free time to make short films. I was just really really really really really really really sick of programming! Haha XD.
But anyway, about a month ago I got an email from Unity saying my asset would be going on sale for their Level 11 customers, which made me realize how much I'd benefited from the previous sale and how little I'd given my customers in return, so I felt really crappy and decided to dive head first back into Shader Sandwich and get the next version out.
I pretty much had to scrap all the work I'd done on the next version up until that point, as I decided to leave the comfort of Unity's Surface Shaders and completely rewrite shader generation. And so I did that! I improved the interface along the way, and added a few new features that I literally could not have previously due to the Surface Shader system.
I completely forgot to mention the part where my harddrive failed and I lost tons of work, and how I'm currently working off a small FAT-32 drive which is making everything a pain haha XD.
So now I'm at the point where I can release what I have, I know it's not much and most of the changes are in the back end of Shader Sandwich rather than in noticable features, but hopefully now I'll be able to develop for it alot quicker and get in all the other features I'd promised :).
- lots and lots of tutorials!!!
On that last note, I'll be posting a bunch of new tutorials in a few days. The main reason I waited for that was since I knew I'd be changing the interface a bunch and didn't want them all to go obsolete, of course the version took way longer than expected, sorry :(.
I also wrote/performed/made people's ears bleed with a couple of songs, you can find in under the Creations menu in...songs! Pretty crazy I know XD. They're mostly emo shite that was made literally for me to listen to, so they aren't very good but I figured hey, why not chuck them online. So there ya go.
Yeah, I have a Twitter account now, I'm not sure why but it's there :).
I mostly just post junk but there were a few updates for Shader Sandwich as well :).
So yeah that's my monster of a post explaining...something? I'm not really sure, but anyway hopefully those of you still out there enjoy the Shader Sandwich update, I'll be posting on the asset thread shortly. Thanks for sticking around!
