I had a few people interested in this card I made. I designed it, it's hand printed (so each one is slightly different/imperfect), and it comes in a sealed bag with an envelope.

I'm curious what you would pay for such a card...

I will not that I exist with the privilege of not having to pay rent by selling art, but instead use most of the profits to make more art and run a Free Little Art Gallery (which gives away are for free!)

So all that said... what's a reasonable price for this card?

I have three Bluetooth speakers I got from a junk bin and they all have Bluetooth names like "CANZ", "Jam Classic", and "SBL 4.1 A1" and none of them have branding on them telling me which is which...

We’ve succeeded in making computers more like humans!

Years ago if you wanted to tell a computer what to do you wrote code it could understand, and it did exactly what you told it to… You had to get it right of course.

Today you just tell a computer what you want by talking to it like a human… and it responds like a human, making mistakes, giving you what you don’t want, or just lying to you.

Is this progress?

I did a 10 mile bike ride in 63 minutes. I’m hoping to get in 10 miles in under 60 minutes some day…

I wanted to see all of my recent illustrations in one place, but also make a nice index to the blog posts I write up, so I made this page... and added some info in case anyone wants a print or something.

@grimmy Okay well... I ordered an AMS. I see enough possibilities at work that I think I can put it to good use.

My latest batch of handmade paper is done. There's one sheet on the left that has not been pressed, and a stack on the right that has been pressed and has a very smooth surface. (Ready for more relief prints!)

Boring little neighborhood bike ride this morning, just 3 miles in 20 minutes... better than nothing I guess.

So today I've got some pain in my left foot (started two days ago) my elbow is acting up (dislocated it twice 14 years ago) and my neck pain is back (did PT for it 5 months ago) also, new today is shortness of breath and abdominal pain. I will also add exhaustion where I think I could fall asleep in minutes if I lied down.

I'm at work for the next 7 hours...

Someone I know who is running for office just sent an email asking for donations, and pointed out that funding is important at the start of a campaign because "A car needs gas before it can go anywhere."

Sigh...
