## Description

Thomas is a small teddy bear. He first appeared as a hidden Easter egg
 inside Google
Picasa, placed there by the development team as a tribute to Noah Grey — photoblogging
pioneer, creator of Greymatter, and one of the people who built what the web was
supposed to be.

When Google discontinued Picasa in 2016, Thomas disappeared. This plugin
 brings
him back.

**Keyboard shortcuts:**

 * **Ctrl+Shift+Y** — Summon Thomas. Press repeatedly for more bears.
 * **Ctrl+Shift+Z** — Read the story of Noah Grey and Thomas.
 * **ESC or Click** — Clear all bears.

Thomas loads on the front end only. No admin pages, no settings,
 no database tables.
Just a bear.
