  Inspired by the newest addition to my family and one of my favourite Simpsons episodes I built a (de)motivational plaque generator in html. (I also wanted to learn my way around the canvas api)

  If:

  1. You love the Simpsons (well seasons 2-10 anyway).

  2. The day-to-day trenches of adult life sometimes get you down.

  3. You have a special little one.

  Then this de-motivational plaque creator might be for you! I use it as a reminder that sacrificing for other people, in a myriad of petty, unsexy ways every day can be deeply meaningful.

  For context here is a clip from the original Simpsons episode: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3njZSDjW7Q4
