Among the galaxies, there are billions of planets and stars, among them, only a few million that support life. The inhabitants name this planet; Spectra.
The species that evolved into sentience was spread throughout the planet by a drastic geological event. This resulted in the isolated and continued evolution of new forms of previously similar species. Eventually, this resulted in over thirty species of sentient species inhabiting a planet far larger than any lesser planet; I.E. Earth. Eventually the barriers that created these species were broken due to natural weathering. The different colored species all adapted to their endemic environments were suddenly thrown into the mix together. At first, wars broke out and chaos reigned, but over a million years, give or take a few hundred thousands years, the dust settled and most of these genetically dissimilar species became one and unified. In the aftermath, the smartest and bravest of these factions crafted a way in which a war amongst the species would never again break out; The Archwielder Program.
Each species on this planet, that are related, have different colors due to the different environments that they adapted to over the millennia. Not only do they have different colors, but each individual has their own unique genetic ability. This planet is not like most planets. It was created by another race of mysterious beings that were able to fuse mechanical, biological, and cybernetic material together. This is how the beings of this world have abilities that would seem “supernatural” to an ignorant mind. These beings are inexplicably linked to their environments and because of this they have control over their environments.
The Archwielder Program was instituted by the survivors of the Millennial Wars the leading heads of which include; lieutenant Dextrix (Who was one of the elite guards for royalty and led the Golden Sect), Captain Dreadnaught(A rogue that took control of the rebellion), and Admiral Aurora(Who took charge of her own brigade of peacekeepers to keep the streets clean during the war).
The Archwielder Program’s initiative was to create a system in which individuals were sorted into the field that the individual excelled in or found interest in. These individuals were gathered into groups of the same species and then sent out across the planet to keep the peace in any way that they could in the environment they were most suited for.
The Districts of the planet are artificial by name alone but have been divided by the sloppy hand of nature itself. These districts include;
Stone District: Brown, Tan, Black, and Purple species reside hear.
Water District: Various shades of Blue reside hear.
Fire District: Various shades of red, orange, and yellow reside hear.
Electricity District: Various shades of yellow and green reside hear.
Flora District: Various shades of Green reside hear.
Radon District: Various shades of Phosphorescence reside hear.
Ice District: Various shades of white, blue, and transparents reside hear.
The unusual abilities of the members of each of these species include;
Red: Pyromancy, Magmanacy, etc.
Orange: Photokinesis, Levitation, Etc.
Yellow: Heliokinesis, Electrokinesis, etc.
Green: Aerokinesis, Air mimicry, etc.
Lime: Acidokinesis, Radiokinesis, etc.
Blue: Hydrokinesis, etc.
Purple: Crystallokinesis, etc.
Violet: Telekinesis, etc.
Brown: Ferrokinesis, Geokinesis, etc,
White: Cryokinesis, Umbrakinesis, etc.
Black: Necromancy, Geomancy, Levitation, etc.
Neons: Plasmakinesis, Dynamokinesis, etc.
Individuals within a specific species can also generate different abilities due to genetic variability granted from parental mating. When individuals of different species mate their offspring may have more of one parent’s abilities and color or a mixture creating a hybrid of abilities, or creation of new abilities altogether.
The ranks within the system include;
Scout: lowest ranking individual, new recruit learning in the academy, signified by three buttons of their respective color.
Gladiator: More experienced individual, knows their way around, signified by custom made holster of their respective make.
Warrior: At least 5 years of experience can defend themselves and knows which profession they are going into, signified by custom markings of their respective color.
Wielder: At least 10 years of experience, has near-complete control of their natural ability, signified by twin black straps over shoulders with respective make and color.
Lieutenant: At least 30 years of experience, has complete control of their natural ability, signified by ceremonial necklace of respective color and make.
Captain: At least 50 years of experience, has not only complete control of their natural abilities but has near-complete understanding of their role in the program, signified by armband of respective make and color.
Admiral: At least 100 years of experience, has complete and utter control of their ability to an extreme, is an expert in their field, signified by custom weapon of their respective color and design.
Archwielder: At least 200 years of experience, has such a complete understanding of their abilities and role within existence that they can only be challenged of an equally experienced individual, signified by lack of a weapon and evolution of facial mask/helmet of respective color and make.
The groups of individuals tasked with keeping quadrants/districts safe and free of unnecessary violence are known as Garrisons. These Garrisons are rotated semi-annually and the participants are also rotated to avoid creation of racial/genetic divisions amongst the students. The Garrisons that exist include;
The Lightning Garrison (Full Charge)
The Magma Garrison (Spicy Sauce)
The Bezerker Garrison (The Bludgeoners)
The Firecracker Garrison (Lit Fuses)
The Hydra Garrison (Ebb and Flow)
The Flora Garrison (Peace on Earth)
The Fauna Garrison (Tooth and Claw)
The Phota Garrison (Best and Brightest)
The Terra Garrison (The Crusties)
The Dust Devil Garrison (The Dust Devils)

Governor of Alabama George Wallace (left), NASA Administrator James Webb and Marshall Space Flight Center (MSFC) Director Dr. von Braun during a tour of MSFC on June 8, 1965. Governor Wallace and Dr. Webb were at MSFC to witness the first test firing of a Saturn V Booster.
James E. Webb was the second administrator of the National Aeronautics and Space Administration, formally established on October 1, 1958 under the National Aeronautics and Space Act. Webb is widely known for his effective leadership during the beginning of the American space program, and particularly for his foresite in commanding the agency to keep scientific objectives as a primary concern. Under his direction NASA undertook one of the most impressive series of projects in human history with the goal of landing an American on the Moon through the execution of Project Apollo.
Webb was known to be highly supportive of science during his tenure as NASA Administrator. He worked to enhance the key role and importance of scientists by giving them greater control in the selection process of space science missions. He also created the NASA University Program, which established grants for space research, funded the construction of new laboratories at universities and provided fellowships for graduate students. The program also encouraged university presidents and vice presidents to actively participate in NASA's Space Science Program and to publicly support all of NASA's programs.
As part of an oral history project sponsored by the LBJ Library in Austin, Texas, Webb recalled his conversations with President John F. Kennedy and Vice President Lyndon Johnson. He was quoted as saying in one transcript, "And so far as I'm concerned, I'm not going to run a program that's just a one-shot program. If you want me to be the administrator, it's going to be a balanced program that does the job for the country..."
By the time Webb retired just prior to the first moon landing in July 1969, NASA had launched over 75 science missions to study the stars and galaxies, our own Sun and home planet. Missions such as the Orbiting Solar Observatory and the Explorer series of astronomical satellites built the foundation for the most successful period of scientific discovery in history, which continues on today.
Influenced by the same exploratory spirit, the James Webb Space Telescope was named in his honor by the then acting administrator, Sean O’Keefe in 2002. The iconic new age observatory will become the masthead of the world’s combined efforts in astrophysics and cosmic exploration, much like the legacy of Mr. Webb. His steady oversight and unwavering support of NASA during its most critical period is why his name is attached to the next big thing in space.
James Webb inspired an optimism towards science, and enthusiasm for the future by ensuring NASA invested in goals of human and scientific exploration. Recognizing that in order to accomplish the goal of going to the moon NASA needed the best scientists and engineers, Webb fought hard to ensure they had a proper place in the agency.
“I think he’d be happy to have such a huge technological feat named after him. The fact that he was the power behind the Apollo Program - an enormously complex undertaking to get someone on the moon, and now here’s this ultimate state of the art observatory pushing the agency technologically in the way that Apollo did on the human spaceflight side,” said Eric P. Smith, NASA’s Program Scientist for the James Webb Space Telescope Program. “The fact that we have scientists at all at NASA could be attributed to James Webb,” he added.
The James Webb Space Telescope will be the world's premier space science observatory. Webb will solve mysteries of our solar system, look beyond to distant worlds around other stars, and probe the mysterious structures and origins of our universe and our place in it. Webb is an international project led by NASA with its partners, ESA (European Space Agency) and the Canadian Space Agency.

Was gifted this camera and decided to try my hand at 35mm photography. Loving this camera so far!
Coming in at #13 on my list of photos to hit 1k views. I printed a 5x7 of this one because I liked it so much, but it looks like I'll be ordering an 8x12 of it now :) Thanks everyone.

One day I started filling a spreadsheet with all the languages I've used over the years (and with percentages of focus on each one) with the intention of creating a chart.
It got bigger than I expected. I guess never counted how many platforms I had actually used.
The original chart (created in LibreOffice) didn't look exactly good, so I decided to write custom code to plot the chart the exact way I wanted it to look like. This is the result. It was created with some messy JS code that rendered the data to a canvas object. I tweaked the colors a little bit and added the titles in Photoshop.
I think it's an interesting visualization of the platforms I've used. There are many different solutions to the problem, I think, but so far I'm pretty happy with this result.
Please view in the original size.
The source code can be found here. It was never meant to be released nor too flexible so it's a little bit too linear and hard-coded, but what the hell.
