Thanks!  The back story isn&#x27;t exactly what I&#x27;d think of as inspiring. We got a pet hedgehog, who was adorable and entertaining, and I thought it would be fun to make a blog to share with family, friends, and hedgehog fans online. While you probably can&#x27;t tell so well from that blog post, I&#x27;m a decent photographer, so I took a lot of absurdist photos of the hedgehog doing various things in little sets, and was amused by taking a set of photos and figuring out how to weave some kind of absurd shaggy-dog story out of it. It&#x27;s not monetized in any way (other than costing a tiny bit for the domain), and is purely for the entertainment of me and whoever winds up reading it, so it&#x27;s much more fun.<p>Until relatively recently I worked at Apple so I know the feeling of needing to compartmentalize work into a private space. The last project I worked on there was way too much pressure and really not fun for me (replacing an internal software system with heritage from the NeXT days that I&#x27;d worked for years with a system that was technically inferior but more &quot;Enterprise&quot;), so writing silly stories helped as a steam valve. Happily the new job is cooler, more interesting, and something I enjoy doing, but the absurd stories are still fun.
