2019 was a big year as far as the software I use on a daily basis. Somehow, most of my daily drivers received massive changes, updates, or shifts at pretty much the same time. I want to quickly go over some of these changes and what they mean to me (and maybe you as well). POSER 11 In June of 2019 Bondware, the developers of the Renderosity website, bought (saved) Poser from the Smith Micro Corporation (S/M). This news was met with some combination of fear, joy, relief, and resignation from the Poserverse. S/M totally dropped the ball over the last half-decade or so. They won't be missed.

I haven't used any of these tools to any great extent so I can't comment on them directly. What I can say is that Wordpress bears little resemblance to the software I started out using. Wordpress was the first Open Source software I used on a regular basis, starting around 2007. Back then themes were simple, plugins were mostly free, and if you wanted to customize your site you dug in with your own CSS, HTML

BLENDER July 2019 saw the release of Blender 2.80, the long awaited interface update to my favorite 3D package. It turned out to be pretty much everything we expected it to be. The interface was rearranged in a way that was both familiar and different at the same time. This was a neat trick which the developers should rightfully be proud of. Major features were added (EEVE
