  • If you are an artist who works with glass, Murano is the place to be. The Italian island a mile north of Venice is world famous for glass production. Ritsue Mishima is a master of the craft, and her work stands out. While Murano is known for colorful glass, this Japanese artist only creates sculptures out of transparent glass. Inspired by the water all around her, she likes the way the light shines through her clear creations.

      Lol 10 years ago I turned my hobby of programming and developing software as a full time job even though i had graduated as an electronics engineer and had good indepth knowledge of hardware. I should have left my hobby of developing software as side gig and should have seeked occupation in electronics. But nope people said if you do what you love for living you wont work a single day in your life. Those people were wrong. Work makes everything boring. Now i do programming and develop systems to survive and I wish i dont have to go through it day in and day out. Now i am turning into electronics as hobby..but electronics requires programming as well which i do like but hate to work cuz there is always something else to program that would rather pay me. It just sucks.
      The issue isnt i find programming boring, what i hate is dealing with boring stupid clients day in and day out, listen tp their stupid complains, get frustrated by silly mistakes made by devs i hired cuz its job for them too and they just looked to resolve todays infront issue and i will be the one to divert my resources to fix those issues when it becomes an issue down the road..
