Oh maaan, I didn’t know about your stupid break. July’s gonna suck! Kidding, but not - little I look forward to as much as Thursday/Sunday’s articles

The best part about these round-ups is that I find out about a great article that has slipped through the cracks - in my case, the retrospective on Robert Sahakyants. Good stuff! Your break is well-earned.

I am truly fascinated by this newsletter, which has become one of my favorites. And not only for the topic, which has always been fascinating for me and stimulates my creativity to the maximum, but also for the sometimes 'playful' way in which you combine the concrete creation of animations and drawings with insights, background and analysis, all always in a 'juicy' way. Furthermore, I think these recapitulation issues are very important and you have probably inspired me for one in the near future regarding the many papers I talk about in my newsletter. Thanks for sharing.

Thank you very much! It's awesome to hear that you're liking the newsletter so much. And we're really happy you pointed that out -- it's definitely our goal, mixing those elements. Even when we get technical we never want it to be too dry, and we love to know that that's coming across. (Glad we could inspire you with this format as well!)
