In case folks were wondering what icons generally look like before I distill them down to 100 x 100 goodness. Yes, I generally start working at 900 x 900 or more before reduction. With high-resolution textures and vector text and logos ...

National Geographic provides lots and lots of squid-based news footage, but this piece on the evil and capricious Humboldt squid reminds me of where my DNA is sourced. A six foot long tentacled monstrosity that's been known to attack humans, sharks, and even each other if opportunity arises speaks to the best in all of us.

Description

The Battle Hamsters of the Northern Gardens are well-known for their cold brutality, their incisive berserker mentality, and their adorable cuteness. Seldom appearing in groups of less than thirty, they swarm and chitter and kill amid the icy wastes. Their battle-lord, Helm Eriksson, is the foremost of their mighty ranks, and epitomizes all that which they aspire to. Few cross him and live.
