The little blue man (the mahout) was reborn (samsara) as a honey-badger? He must be close indeed to reaching true enlightenment, or is that Buddhism?

The website is starting to feel 'dated' I think it could use a reboot. The blue person riding the elephant has less signifigance in Mahout-Samsara's modular backends. Would like to open the floor to discussion on website reboot (and who might be willing to take on such a project), as well as new mascot. To kick off- in an offline talk there was the idea of A honey badger (bc honey-badger don't care, just like mahout don't care what back end or native solvers you are using, and also bc a cobra bites a honey badger and he takes a little nap then wakes up and finishes eating the cobra. honey badger eats snakes, and does all the work while the other animals pick up the scraps. see this short documentary on the honey badger: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4r7wHMg5Yjg ) ^^audio not safe for work Con: its almost tooo jokey. Other idea: are coy-wolfs.
