Here is a meme: Being grateful for everyday things. Sounds very wise. There are indeed things we use every day that we often take for granted.
I was going to say that an everyday thing I’m grateful for is the OpenGL Extension Registry and the way it provides some nice low-level tools and access to some of the newer and more robust rendering paths, but then I realized that was sort of trite. I mean, everyone probably uses that one, right?
I guess it depends on what you do every day…
