Social media nomad. Nothing is permanent. Hobbyist writer, unfocused artist and an introvert with an off beat humor.

Remember the lamp at the start of Pixar movies? This demo video of a prototype robotic lamp with expressive movements kind of made my morning. You'll see why if you watch it to the end, it's short. machinelearning.apple.com/research/ele...

I think one of the worst feelings of dread might just be when you flush a toilet and see it starting to fill instead of draining. Tell me I'm wrong.

I’ve been studying German again lately and while I’m utterly indifferent to snails, every time the German word for it comes up, it tickles me: Schnecke (sh-neck-uh or shneckuh) the plural is Schnecken. I like it too much.

I shared this with a friend today and thought it's worth sharing in general.

Wise words: If you get tired, learn to rest, not to quit.

It hangs on the inside of my apartment door to remind me whenever I go outside. I don't always see it after a while, but when I do, it's there to remind me.

Sitting around listening to Rick Beato interviewing Rick Rubin tonight. Playing around with some Gelli printing experiments. I have no idea what I might do with this process but right now it's all just FAFO.

Leaf blowers (1/2)

Say what you will about leaf blowers (lord knows I've bitched about them) but every now and then they're the perfect weapon.

Most recently, here's a thought/poem I had just about a week ago. It's not *literary* but I do like what I think it evokes. You'll have to decide what that is for yourself.

I also used to randomly go exploring for photos to take and share but haven't done that in years.

I'm quite proud of this goofy tentacle Christmas tree I made a couple of years ago. All the ornaments are from horrornaments.com

One of my more recent and currently paused explorations has been sculpture. This was in service of becoming a latex mask one day, which never happened. :-p

I've tried welding a couple of times and among other artful trinkets I have these: A artful tea pot and a functional bathtub shelf which I still use.

I thought I might start with some introductions and stuff n junk I've explored and made over the years.

I haven't painted in quite a while but here are a few, both finished or not. All taken in horrible lighting conditions. :-p
