Today’s 10 sq cm of #steampunk control panel went pretty fast. At this stage I’m mostly rearranging what I’ve already created — which is the point. #blender #blender3dart
One of many steampunk control panels I’ve designed for pleasure.

Self-referential capitalism; paradoxical fusion of idealized pop culture and mass-produced irreverent decay. #andywarhol #popart #design #celebrity
Educated, uplifted, boosted, and fed. Block party celebrating August Wilson continues through this afternoon in the Pittsburgh Hill District.
Move Along Home (#StarTrek #DS9 Rewatch, Season 1, Episode 10) Hopscotch Cringe Shenanigans
Rewatching ST:DS9 I was kind of dreading rewatching this “trapped in a board game” episode, but it wasn’t as bad as I remembered. But that’s not saying much, because I remember it as a cringeworthy mess. I liked Sisko’s attempt to bring up “the talk” with Jake by likening a first contact to a first…
Another day, another 10 square centimeters of #steampunk control panel. #blender3d #blender3dart #design #practice #aesthetics #creative #selfcare

Darwin Was Wrong: Your Facial Expressions Do Not Reveal Your Emotions
In real life, people express a given emotion with tremendous variability. In anger, for example, people in urban cultures scowl (or make some of the facial movements for a scowl) only about 35 percent of the time, according to meta-analyses of studies measuring facial movement during emotion. Scowls are also not specific to anger because…
The Passenger (#StarTrek #DS9 Rewatch, Season 1, Episode 9) Dead criminal keeps committing crimes
Rewatching ST:DS9 In a runabout, Kira reluctantly expresses admiration for Bashir’s medical skill. Instead of humbly accepting her praise, Bashir monologues about his own giftedness. A distress call brings them aboard a burning ship, where the pilot is dead, and a semi-conscious woman warns Bashir not to rescue a prisoner who started the fire. That…
Los Angeles sheriff appears to back down after signaling he was investigating reporter
Villanueva has repeatedly singled out LA Times reporter Alene Tchekmedyian, who is just doing her job by covering his department. Tchekmedyian has published a series of stories about an incident in which a deputy kneeled on an inmate — including an article on Monday regarding an allegation that Villanueva was implicated in a cover-up.

Another section of a #steampunk control panel for a texture atlas. #blender3d #blender3dart #creativity #selfcare
Spent a half hour taming this tangle of cables (left) with a little tiny six-inch-wide cart (right).
