In digging through art stuff looking for something else I came upon all of my old carved print blocks that I printed holiday cards from over the years. I was inspired to make meta-art and frame them to hang in my office. Playing around with arrangements for a 16x20 shadow box I'll pick up tomorrow.

I just finished Death of the Author by @nnedi.bsky.social
This was the most unexpected novel I've read in a long while. Which is good. I'll think about this one and ponder it.

Office decor: a framed manuscript page from Pontificale Romanum,Venice 1543 that my mom found in a thrift store. It's a leaf that's part of the ritual a Catholic bishop performs to consecrate the ground of a new church. It's from a book that is one of the first to ever be printed with moveable type.

Reading A Conventional Boy by Charles Stross, a Laundry Files work centered on a gaming convention in Scarfolk. While it does make references to other stuff in the series, it's pretty stand-alone and probably a decent place to start if you've never read one. Or just like TTRPG and occult weirdness.

I started reading the book Orbital by Samantha Harvey, which recently won the Booker Prize. It tells the story of one day aboard the International Space Station (ISS), with each chapter being one 90-minute orbit of the ISS around the Earth, sixteen in total. At the front of the book is a diagram...

I learned that British suffragettes used to stamp pennies with "VOTES FOR WOMEN" and I found a stamped old Edward VII large penny and thought that this would be a lovely present. One month later, the associated pendant infrastructure has been a PROCESS, but today we finally succeeded.

I've been curious about air fryers. I don't care about volume, but would love to know the actual physical dimensions of the fryer basket. I don't need to know how many hydrogen atoms wide the fryer will be, but I'd like to know how many atoms wide and deep the basket will be.

From Dr. Eugenia Cheng: February 29th is i-day, like pi-day, from Is Math Real. So every year would actually have a February 29th, but we only perceive it every four years because on the other three the duration is either orthogonal or opposite to our usual time direction.
