Thanks!

Oak-sided box with pine lid and bottom. The sides and front of the box are carved with traditional New England patterns.

Interior of the box showing a small till on the right side. The lid of the till is holding the box lid open.

The final box. Had some minor screw-ups on the last day but pretty happy overall. Peter is a great teacher, highly recommend any class with him. #woodworking #workcarving

Da Bulls.

Got any cracked corn?

Yeah, I rather liked that one. It’s not like Highlander itself makes a lot of sense, it’s just fucking cool.

A piece of oak with a carving on it, looking like three interleaving rainbows with “Swiss cheese” decoration under the arches and an abstract flower pattern in between.

A piece of oak with two separate “rainbows”, one with leaves underneath spreading in a kind of v shape, the other looking kind of like a beetle with its wings slightly spread.

The front of a box, with that braided arch pattern on top and a scrolled floral pattern below it.

The full box partially completed. It has a toll on the right with a lid, the box front from the previous picture, and a decorated “rainbow” on the side. It is resting on a piece of pine that will be the bottom.

I’ve been taking a carving + box-making class with Peter Follansbee, so a little of what I’ve been up to this week. #woodworking #woodcarving

Wow, Swalwell *and* Gonzalez gone.

Maybe “No, A always lies. I’m the one who always tells the truth.”

Though that doesn’t cover B *always* lying I guess.

I think it should be A: “I always speak the truth” B: “No, A always lies”.

I posted an unusual entry in my blog that reminisces about my first professional software engineering job before I entered the games industry in the mid-90s.

Right you are. Carry on!

I disagree with Daniel Day Lewis. He has a pretty large range in his early career. He quit acting because he was tired of it — maybe because after a while he kept getting the same role over and over again.

Oh, but when *I* fall dramatically into the water while everyone is watching, I'm "ruining your kid's baptism."

Apparently they are green.

Woohoo!

Awesome! Please offer my congrats to John!

Best Taco Tuesday.

Nothing quite demonstrates that humans are bags of goop more than a poison ivy rash. Goopy goop.

Lunar Flyby - NASA

I am begging you: take a couple minutes and look at the images from yesterday’s lunar flyby. They are absolutely incredible www.nasa.gov/gallery/luna...

Went to a Seder tonight. We weren’t told to bring plagues, but earlier this week I got bit up by chiggers, so at least I had gnats and boils covered.

Too many cookies?
