Tonight I watched the superlative V for Vendetta again with the kids, and then spent a couple of hours writing up an ode to writing Scalable Vector Graphics for fun, by hand, because in 2026 we should do more things by hand, and for fun.

Enjoy! https://people.freebsd.org/~dch/posts/2026-11-07-svg-logos

Special thanks to MDN https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/SVG for reference material, and https://www.svgviewer.dev/svg-to-data-uri which was a lot easier to use than mashing F5 repeatedly in my browser.

You gotta love the approachability of the modern web.
