My sister told me to pick colors from a photo of my dog, and it actually worked

I was stuck on a logo for a local pet sitting business, and my sister (who is not a designer, by the way) saw me struggling. She said, 'Just look at your dog, his fur has the best colors.' I rolled my eyes but took a picture of my golden retriever, Cooper. I pulled the main tan from his coat, a soft brown from his nose, and a little highlight color from the lighter fur around his neck. I used those three shades as my base palette, and it completely changed the feel of the design. It went from looking generic and forced to warm and friendly instantly. I never would have thought to pull inspiration from something so simple in my own house. Has anyone else found a good palette in a totally unexpected place like that?

Serious question, does a standing desk actually help anyone?

I read a post from someone in Portland who said they spent over $800 on a motorized frame and still ended up sitting most of the day. They called it a 'very expensive clothes rack.' My takeaway is that maybe the focus should be on a chair you actually want to sit in first. Has anyone found a standing desk useful for specific tasks, not just as a default?

Showerthought: I read that air fryers can cut cooking oil use by 75%

Saw that stat in a cooking newsletter from The Kitchn last week. Makes me wonder how much oil I was really using before, especially with stuff like frozen chicken tenders. Anyone else have a go-to recipe that uses way less oil than the package says?
