I hit a wall using Blender. I was missing a plugin I relied on in After Effects: ToothPaste.

So I built one. Fought AI for months. Got a developer friend involved. Eventually, it worked.
Published it free on Blender Extensions. 2K downloads in a few months.

Pride and imposter syndrome clashed. But I published it anyway.

I guess others needed it too. That's enough of a prize for me.

Have you tried building your own tools?

I almost cancelled my Adobe subscription last year - then realised I couldn't.
Software like Adobe's isn't just selling tools, it's locking you in. The real cost isn't the subscription. It's that your work - effects, libraries, templates built over years - lives in proprietary formats. Cancel, and you lose access to your own assets.
It's not about price. It's about owning the way you work.
Ever been locked out of an old project?

Wrote a blog entry on ToothPaste for Blender - how the idea came about, what I went through to finish it, and why I thought it was needed.

I missed sharing that with you guys, but I bet you're the ones who'd appreciate it. :)

Remember Clippy? 📎** **That chirpy little paperclip from Microsoft Word who used to pop up with *“It looks like you're writing a letter…”*

Well, he's back.
Not to help — to protest. ✊

Lately he's become the face of a digital rebellion. Why? Because he represents something rare in today's tech world: a tool that helped *without* harvesting.

Revolutionary, I know.

Your phone knows way too much about you. You know it does. ☕️

When you put stuff up on social media, algorithms detect it - and it's a golden opportunity to serve you ads. To them:

Your vulnerability = sales.

Social media is free because:
Your habits and insecurities → data → money.

The scary part? Even if you leave, your data stays.

Is it a fair trade for connection? I wrote an article on the topic: https://shorturl.at/EBHAQ

🔥 Working long days in August feels like grinding rep when your raid party's on cooldown.

🧠 I’ve been leading the Advanced After Effects course at SoftUni Creative — high-focus, high-intensity.

🎯 Students are already specced for motion. My job? Help them level up their DPS — Design Per Second.

🎮 Animation is the grind. The pain is the pleasure. And that makes it worth it.
