I'm reading some Batman comics. I don't know about any of you but I will probably always hear Kevin Conroy's voice in my head when I read them. The Animated Series and Arkham games had that much impact on me.

The year is 2382. All physical and digital media was lost in a great cataclysm that humanity has gradually rebuilt itself from. The village gathers for festivities and drinks. A travelling musician plays a song passed down in folk tradition for centuries. It is called the YMCA. Everyone joins in

A good little recap on 4 of the biggest redevelopment projects in the Portland area.

In spite of all the doom & gloom in the media billions are being invested in Portland. We’re still the cheapest cool city on the west coast and we have a lot of water… kind of important.

Day 20 A song from 30 years ago

Smashing Pumpkins - Bullet with Butterfly Wings

An out and out belter of a track. 30 years on it has lost none of its fire and anger. You just cannot help but scream along to the chorus of this one. Classic!

Sometimes a form idea hijacks my brain. In this case it was a rectangle with a full radius intersected by a truncated cone... it became an electric semi truck but it could have evolved into a camera or a building. It's fun to let your mind wonder sometimes.

Happy anniversary, Hubble! 🎂

Celebrate 35 years since this NASA/ESA space telescope was launched into orbit with four anniversary images! They roam from the planet Mars to dramatic images of stellar birth and death to a neighbouring galaxy.

#Hubble35 🔭 🧪

Two views of planet Mars on a black background of space observed by the Hubble Space Telescope. At left, text: December 28, 2024 20:00 UT. At right, text: December 29, 2024 13:18 UT. In both images, its atmosphere is clear and the surface appears detailed. Most of the planet is shades of orange. At left, the brightest orange area appears in the left half. At right, the brightest orange area is centered and takes on the rough shape of a sleeping mask. In both views, darker surface features are noticeable on the lower half of the planet. These have a mix of orange, blue, and gray hues. At the top and bottom, white regions mark the planet’s polar caps. The entire limb of the planet, its visible edge, has a blue hue. The blue doesn’t form an even circle at the edges, and appears thinner toward the left and right, and thicker in some areas.

$The planetary nebula NGC 2899 is shaped like a single macaroni noodle, with its edges pointed up, but its edge-on central torus is semi-transparent in the middle. The top and bottom edges are thick and orange. The center is semi-transparent blue and green. The wider central region looks roughly like a moth, also filled with semi-transparent blue and green. There are two pinpoint-like white stars with diffraction spikes toward the center. Immediately below them, slightly toward the right, is a smaller blue orb, a central star. The next layer of gas and dust is whiter, with some thicker pillars that look like they are rising up at bottom center. The colour fades into reds and purples, and then to orange.$ $A tiny portion of the Rosette Nebula. Very dark gray material shaped like a V extends from just below top left all the way down to the lower right corner and back up toward the top right. It looks like thick smoke that has billowed out irregularly, thicker along the line from top left to bottom right, and looser on the piece that goes toward the top right. Behind the dark gray on the left side, from the bottom left to top center, there is dust that looks like arced claw marks that appears in light orange and yellow. The background at top left is hazier and some blues are covered in semi-transparent orange wisps, which makes sections take on green hues. In the bottom right, the background is bluer. There are a few bright red and purple stars scattered along the right half, most toward the bottom. The largest star is at right-center, just at the edge. It is red and has four diffraction spikes.$
