Flying saucers.
Acrylic on plywood, two 24x48 panels.
The humidity is higher than 70%, and feels like I’ve spent the day waiting for paint, varnish or glue to dry.
These are based on a vintage Yoshiya KO Japan toy package.

Red Robot, Blue Robot.
Acrylic on plywood, 24x24.
Based on packaging for a robot toy from Yoshiya KO Japan in the 60s. The toy did not reflect the packaging, a common disappointment for any kid in the 70s and 80s.

Not sure how I was completely unaware of the Data General Dasher before Severance, but I spent some time learning about it this week. #blender #b3d #retrocomputing

Something I've wanted to do for a long time as a companion site to my color app... I took every color I've saved from recent projects, listed them, let a script put them in random order and voila... the color of the day.

Last one. Four handheld computers that will never exist, based on ones that actually used to exist. #retrocomputing #blender3d

I also managed to finish the BeOS theme. It's based on the earlier BeOS 1.1, which had tiles along the side similar to NeXT.

This felt like a low bar in terms of coding, but Notes has turned into such a massive app - lots of amazing functionality in another full-screen SplitView. This isn't a criticism of Notes – it's amazing! But it's no longer an app I can use to jot down random things I need to keep handy temporarily.
