A doodle during a lecture grew into a drawing of our dawg. She's not feeling too great right now, something we expect her knee surgery in a couple weeks to help. On an absolutely-related note, if you want to buy this drawing for $8000, shoot me a message.

My wife (@sarahvaleriart on Instagram) is participating in this year's @unrwausa.bsky.social 5K for Gaza, which helps provide mental health services for children in Gaza. Throw some support her way!

I made a comment about King Crimson. My wife said, "That would be so sad--his makeup would run!"

It took us a minute to realize she meant King Diamond.

"I'm such a nerd," she said. I explained that between King Diamond and King Crimson, King Diamond fan is not the nerd.

This is just an exercise in procedurally modeling, rigging, and animating some critters that I did a couple of years ago, using #houdini and rendered in #ue5, but the lighting annoyed me, so I gave it a little goose. Some have suggested that I use less horrible sound, but they are wrong. #friends

🌎 Please register for this online event with Sue Okerstrom, founder of Lichen Labs. She will discuss risks to the waters of Minnesota and beyond if the proposed PolyMet copper sulfide mine is built and alternatives through biomimicry design.

I wonder how the MCU will handle Columbia grads like Spider-Man and Daredevil now having to be ashamed of their spineless alma mater?

How is Mamdani not a distant first in the polls (or at least anyone but Cuomo)? New York establishment Democrats boggle my mind.

This started out as me playing with @lukas.thorup 's 2D-smoke-sim particle advection setup, then I added some colliders, some custom velocities fields just 'cause, and some velocity-based-emission shaders, and, lo, something not floppy/gross/silly happened.

Some of the quieter moments from our experiments last night at the gallery. Thanks to @bentway23.bsky.social for collecting and connecting all the gear. And to our friends for all their enthusiasm. The phone audio really can't handle it.

@sarahvaleriart is taking some of her unique instruments for a spin (with a little help from me) tomorrow night as part of her ongoing exhibition, "Song in the Bone." There will be noise.

The Ungovernable Harpies (from the mind of, and here played by, @radiospell) are advancing all electric.

Expect some high musickal weirdness Wednesday night as part of her ongoing exhibition in DUMBO, 20 Jay, suite 307!

An early test of a rigged prop for a (very) short movie-in-progress. Obviously, it's about where babies come from.

Got a spammy "oops wrong number" text. They made the mistake of mentioning golf, an execrable and indefensible activity, so it warranted a reply.
