It's that time of the year, things are slowly shutting for the holiday. Unfortunately, we are still in a pandemic. The good part is the part of the year is where you get to spend time with your loved ones, resting, reflecting on the year, and being hopeful for the upcoming year. Personally, I love this time of the year to 'work' on personal projects!

industrial design

I’ve been using the new Amazfit GTR 3 Pro for the past 3 weeks and I have to say. I am impressed. But before I jump to my thoughts on this device let me say that I am no expert in fitness tracking despite  having a few devices including Withings Steel HR Sport, Apple Watch Series 6 and an Oura Ring (which I wear all the time). My thoughts on Amazfit will be in comparison to those.

Opening Title Sequence Concept for Arcane

title sequence

Have you watched 'Arcane' yet? It's a Netflix series with the essence of Sci-Fi and Fantasy broken down into 9 episodes. Heard amazing reviews, probably gonna need to find some time during the break. This opening title sequence concept by Toros Kose really caught my eye. He was inspired by the stones and unity of magic and science; a theme in the show.
