death of my mother, by Dan Waber

Learning the basics of the pixels array, and trying to figure out some of the subtleties of appropriate motions. And, I miss my mother. 5 years, where does the time go?

Because this sketch starts by drawing the text and then locating every non-background-colored pixel, I also learned that PCs use grayscale to do text anti-aliasing, and Macs use colors. For black text on white there was some grays but also shades of amber and cobalt blue. filter() to the rescue.
