There were a few things in the maps video that I didn't cover so I recording a more casual followup talking about everything on the second channel. People always ask about how I do displays, so the second half of the video is a walk though the ones I used in the original video.

Several years ago while working in Madagascar I came across these small floating plants. I sketched them and the Malagasy name was Ramilamina. When I got back home I learned the English name is Azolla and are actually ferns. They fix nitrogen, can double in mass in two days, and caused an ice age.

Working on the geologic timeline project and adding these Osmunda. A fern genus that evolved in the early Cretaceous and are still around today. Model was created by the Prehistoric Fauna mod team.

Minecraft maps and map art has always been interesting to me and I wanted to learn more about them. I was expecting them to be this odd. youtu.be/4dEx8D1mjso

Picture somewhat related to video coming out soon. I can’t wait so I can play and not feel guilty for not editing.

I was curious what some real life mountains would look like in Minecraft so I imported actual elevation data with world painter into some custom dimensions.

Very conveniently, Grand Teton's prominence fits perfectly into the max custom dimension build limit at 1:1 scale. I'm working on a video that was going to be quick but it seems I may be incapable of that. Its coming along and will be out soonish though.

I worked in Australian Neoproterozoic (1000-541 Mya) rocks for the month of July. But never really got into the Ediacaran formation, famous for early life. We did hike into rocks of that age one day and found two pieces of float with worm traces on ripple beds. Uncle Toby’s for scale.

These bell flowers are one of my new favorites. Such a nice purple color and the unopened buds have this great pentagonal shape. (Also I’m back from Australia and working on new episodes)

The last of the Gneiss Boxes sold quickly after the diamond and coal episode came out and I shipped the last of them out today! Thank you so much for everyone that bought one and I hope you enjoyed the loot. I rounded up the $2677 in profit to $3k and made the donation The Nature Conservancy today.

Completed Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 and wow that was a moving story. Wonderfully done and an enjoyable game all the way through. Such an interesting world and combination of traditional RPG, action and character mechanics.

I finally finished up the next ore video. This one covers both coal and diamonds and I'm really excited for how the geologic timeline is coming along. I set up the video as a premiere for a few hours from now.

You always think of orchids being tropical plants and then you come across some pink lady slipper orchids on the side of a trail in the middle of Wisconsin. (Cypripedium acaule)

Did some bog hiking in the middle of Wisconsin. Was really pleased to see some pitcher plants in bloom and some little sundews along the path. #bogwalker

Went on a quick road trip to get some footage for an upcoming episode and stopped at Ableman’s Gorge near Baraboo WI. I was always impressed by these 1.7 billion year old ripples preserved in quartzite that are now a vertical wall. They were one of my early exposures to geology and deep time.

Another creator that uses Minecraft to talk about his profession is Daskalos, an archeologist. He unearthed trail ruins as if it was real life and converted it into a museum. I was on his server to chat and explore. It was great to see them through the eyes of a professional

I don't have an experience with light casting methods but I made a video about ray casting in vanilla Minecraft. I did all the math external but I talked to Conure and he made a datapack that does ray casting all internal to the game.

I’m writing all the thank you cards for the gneiss boxes and it’s giving me flashbacks to studying for spelling test writing the words over and over. It didn’t help, I’m still miserable at spelling.

While working on the geologic timeline project I was scaling Minecraft mobs to more appropriate sizes and it reminded me of a paper that quantified all of Earth's biomass, so I remade the figures in game. Yes I know starfish are not cnidarians.
