Money?

I've made some things.  They are for sale.

They are arm-(or at least elbow-)length fingerless mittens made from the sleeves of felted wool sweaters.
They are awesome and should be bought.

I'm also getting a lot better at working in Synfig Studio.  I can do good lightsaber effects, as well as some other miscellaneous effects which I have yet to post online (I want to have a longer demo reel - currently I have 36 seconds of demo reel, 19 of which is the lightsaber), one of which will also be an advertisement for the defensive properties of the fingerless mittens I am selling.  I'm also going to sell (or at least put up for sale) hammocks similar to the one in my treehouse.

By the way, Synfig Studio is awesome, and I've started work on an I-don't-know-how-long-it-will-be-only-that-it's-long film, which I think will be perfect, as the characters and backgrounds are all relatively simplistic, at least at first, an the things to be animated grow in complexity as the story goes on.

Also, Avidemux is my favorite video editor, period.  Yes, Kdenlive is pretty bitchin' (though it does crash occasionally), but there are some things that Avidemux can do so perfectly and simply that it's awesome - i.e. "copy" video information, so when you turn a video into jpegs, it takes approximately no time at all, and when you turn a sequence of jpegs into an MPEG video, it also takes no time at all.  This is handy, as Synfig Doesn't like to export things with image backgrounds (like, a live-action video with effects on top) as video, but it will do fine if they're jpegs, and then Avidemux is like whoop, it's a video.  I do have to admit that Kdenlive is the only program I use to add audio to video, and to do non-linear editing in general.  Anyway, more bulletins as events warrant.
