strings of grapes, a study visual art > sketchbook these grapes gave me a headache. I was tired of fruit, and actually, much more in the mood to paint cats; to roll up my sleeves and do some work on cat anatomy (given that I live in a city full of cats, it felt like a good investment). but my partner said that cats next to figs doesn’t make sense, and why don’t you complete …

Star Wars Movies that Don't Exist and Never Will Since I am listening to THREE different Star Wars podcasts right now, this was an inevitability. As there is nothing Disney likes more than announcing projects that will never happen, I figured I could score some points by not wasting anyone’s time with false theatrics and skipping directly ahead to the part where they don’t exist.**1. The film focuses on a Sparticus-style slave revolt against the Hutts, led by Baduk …

His iMac is the 24-inch M1 iMac model released in 2021. Apparently this issue is not uncommon. I’d like to quote the …

This month I made a bunch of new t-shirts and assorted ephemera, and it’s been a doozy. So here’s the fruits of my KC inspired… …

Habitability around F-class Stars Some years back I read a science fiction story in which the planet where the action took place orbited an F-class star. That was sufficiently odd to get my attention, and I began to pay attention to these stars, which represent on the order of 3 percent of all stars in the galaxy. Stars like our G-class Sun weigh in at about 7 percent, while the vast majority of stars …

Complaining Because They Won't Last month, the Sunday New York Times Book Review carried a piece by David Brooks on Tom Wolfe. This was part or all of an introduction Brooks wrote to a volume comprising Wolfe's pieces "Radical Chic" and "Mau-Mauing the Flak Catchers". Two weeks later, there were two letters about the piece, one praising Wolfe, and one putting in a good word for the Bernsteins. Nobody addressed what I thought the …

LG adds ads to screensavers Good luck with that. My next TV might still be an LG (just because I usually like their hardware and price points), but like the current one, it will be blocked at my router from accessing the Internet (HomeKit still works, of course, and I use my Apple TV and NVIDIA SHIELD for media). But this is something the EU should really look into and regulate. The amount of data …
