Spring 2023 Grades: Submitted! (I only had 3 last-minute submissions to mark today.)
I've got a lot to learn, but my #blender3D #neovictorian #steampunk cruiser, and this nifty winged support craft, look great in the Unity Gaming Engine. I aim to get that "United States of Britannia" flag flapping in the ether currents soon. #design #blender3dart #aesthetics #unity3d
Today’s unexpected but welcome moments of grace
She waived a fee. He accepted a slightly expired coupon. Someone bent a rule in my favor. (I may or may not have deserved it.) I bent rules for five different people. (They may or may not have deserved it.) That 1/4 inch post that was too big popped off and under it was a…
Two classes will turn in final revisions at midnight Sunday, and final multimedia projects are in the middle of the week, but my most time-sensitive, intellectually demanding marking – giving detailed feedback on rough drafts – is over for the semester.
Still plenty of work to do before I finish for the summer, but not a whole lot more grading.
Here’s to the grim-based photojournalist who saved my bacon ~35 years ago
Here’s to you, grim-faced photojournalist who waited just long enough to make sure 20-year-old me learned an important lesson, before saving me from the consequences of my own poor planning. Every day on the job, I’m trying to pay it forward. In 1989, I was an intern in a crowd of media professionals covering…
Look how the box leads your eye down to the car, then the two signs lead your eye up to the ba-boom setup, then your eye drops to the CRASH. Beautiful.
Looking forward to what looks like an exciting evening of dance.
Great energy at our Comp & Culture poster paper session. So proud of these students and their instructors.

The Daughter’s 21st Birthday
I dunno what to call this but it really hit the spot.
Out for an April stroll.
Game night at our local library.
There’s Something Off About LED Bulbs
When I’m stressed, or I feel life is spinning out of control, I buy lights. I’m sure there’s something symbolic in that action. Over the years I’ve picked up a half dozen photography lights with umbrella reflectors, and as the cool-white spiral fluorescent bulbs fail — one every two years or so — I’ve been…
Just a #steampunk captain inspecting the æther power orbs. #Blender3D #Unity3D #design #aesthetics
We were pretty even for about 25m, but I let him get my queen, and I had no hope after that.
You are personally responsible for becoming more ethical than the society you grew up in.
Some people out there will never like you, no matter what you do. Some hurting and traumatized people will latch onto you as the symbol of their insecurities, and treat all your imperfections as personal attacks. It’s important not to pay that negativity forward, or to punch down, or to take it out on yourself.…
My Polish grandmother used to bake these cookies, which my wife picked up at a Ukranian festival. They’re apparently called nut horns. Hadn’t tasted them for 30 years.
My grandmother shaped them a little differently, more like segments of a sphere… the name I must have given them in my childhood is just “powdered sugar crescent cookies.” She packed them in a tin with chocolate chip , oatmeal raisin, fork-impressed peanut butter, and maybe sugar cookies? I would have made a beeline for her…
Rhythm of the Dance (Irish dance, song, and music touring show)
My family thoroughly enjoyed this performance at Greensburg’s Palace.
