Distributed podcast with Stephen Wolfram
A post about the podcast, mostly, but also a bit of a ramble Listen to the podcast here: https://distributed.blog/2019/10/03/episode-11-stephen-wolfram/ I typically struggle with podcasts, because my brain doesn’t usually like to sit still. I need something else going on — that might be knitting, drawing, origami, or two dots (on the passive side). During our…

Inktober day 3 (prompt)
I’m tired so you’re only getting the sketch I drafted while working today. The prompt was “bait,” and Bob said (of the sketch) “but there’s no cat.” It’s true! I also tried out a few hooks. My grandfather used to make his own fly fishing hooks, which my dad made a lovely shadowbox for, and…

Inktober day 2 (prompt)
I was trying for “goofy drunk kitty” a la 🥴, but landed squarely in terrifying instead. The prompt was “mindless.”

Inktober day 1 (prompt)
The prompt was “ring” which is a pretty good prompt for me. I started with a doodle on my desk at work, and decided to try out some India ink on the full size sketch. (And Windsor and Newton white ink.) This cat is such an idiot. I love it.

Inktober day 1
I’m not sure I’ll actually have time or energy to complete a full drawing a day, but the inktober challenge is fascinating. I struggle to sneak in creativity, and I don’t usually use ink (I’m a graphite or paint type), so this is all uncharted territory. Illustration is a fun, vibrant, and highly technical art…

A very Grant day
Yesterday I got up with Grant around 7, and we spent the day together. The twins were there too, but they are really chill right now, and I was able to give G Unit enough attention that he was just awesome all day. First thing in the morning, we all walked to the Farmers Market.…

Impact over money
You can say that a fatal design flaw killed all these people, but that’s actually just another way of saying that money did. Crash Course: How Boeing’s Managerial Revolution Created the Max 737 Disaster This article is so fraught and terrifying that if you don’t feel like you need to throw up while reading it,…

Age
To start, you should know I’m 38. I saw a very young-looking girl leaning out of a pickup truck today, smoking. She looked about 11 or 12, maybe 13. And I thought “she looks like she shouldn’t be smoking” and then I had an internal debate about what the smoking age is, and decided it’s…

Every day is daughters’ day?

Round and round and round and round and round and round
I heard Grant in his room over the weekend singing to himself. He loves Wheels on the Bus, but he gets caught in an infinite loop. I tried to sneak a video of him, but he caught me. It’s long, but it pays off. The cats have learned to be particularly tolerant of his manhandling…
