Frost: Release Candidate
The talented team behind Fauna recently released a near-final Fauna release candidate, packed with several bug fixes, code optimizations, overall improvements, and new features. Due to the massive amount of welcomed changes, Frost required a small update to retain its compatibility with Fauna. After a very easy-going update process, and a few bug/typo fixes, I am proud to say that Frost RC is now available for anyone looking to add a different shade of colors to Fauna RC.
Frost is “a cool and refreshing style” for Fauna, inspired by frost, ice, snow, and winter in general. If you’re looking to make a change to your blog’s theme, try Frost today!

Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds
In 1968, William Shatner released The Transformed Man, an album filled with his dramatic interpretations of poetry and popular music. One of the most memorable songs from Shatner’s debut album is his interpretation of the 1967 Beatles hit, Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds. According to popular rumors, it was this interpretation’s success as “one of the worst songs of all time” that inspired Shatner to present his interpretation of Rocket Man at the 1978 Science Fiction Film Awards.
