A lovely early birthday dinner for me from Kelly last night. And horse-themed lighting. I remain incredibly lucky.

Viridian was science fiction writer Bruce Sterling’s effort to report on and think about climate change and what design might do about it. He declared himself “Pope-Emperor” of Viridian. With 500 Viridian Notes over 10 years, from 1998 to 2008, he wrote, and I learned about climate science, news on extreme weather and design across the planet. It was terrifying, edifying, and inspirational. I entered 5 Viridian Design contests. Never won, but these were great exercises for my developing Illustrator, PhotoShop and web skills. This is “Greeny Megawatt” a modernized Reddy Kilowatt. As part of revisiting EVERYTHING on my site artlung dot com I’ve updated the pages they live on and integrated them into my #WordPress custom theme. Fun time capsule.

I mentioned before the wetsuit that wouldn’t stay zipped in waves and would “Magic Mike” unzip. A little hackery based on some good advice and all is well.

During my sabbatical I’ve learned a lot. One of the things I’ve done is made it easier to create new pages on my website at artlung dot com. I use #WordPress with a theme and plugins I wrote myself. I’ve got 20 years of posts and photos and it’s easy for it to get lost. So yesterday I made a page that I can update periodically, and as I add new cosplays, for example with a hashtag of #qcosplay it will show up on this page. My intent is to show off more of my PHP development, comics, drawings, and toy robots this way. As much as I appreciate Instagram, I wish it were easier to do this kind of thing for my posts on IG, but a website YOU control is the only way to control the way you present yourself and whether you can reach people you’d like to reach.
When I’m alone in the lineup I have no excuse to not catch catchable waves. So I catch the catchable or learn lessons. The lesson is usually kick harder.#stoke

A finite game is one you play to win, while an infinite game is one you play so you can keep playing. I’ll keep playing.

Appreciating and identifying with Delana Delgado’s talk at @creativemornings_sd as a San Diego kid making art in a world that doesn’t often appreciate artists without the right “pedigree.” Genuine success story. Love her photos. Gotta get down and see her solo show “Around The Way Girl” at Liberty Station @strawb.unny#CreativeMornings#CreativeMorningsSD

“The water is weird today” one surfer mentioned to me as she paddled by. “Many rip currents to choose from,” I replied. A good morning.

Anyone remember Mix Tapes? Cassette tapes are making a resurgence. Today I made a Cassette tape in CSS plus a little JavaScript to get the sprockets to turn and the magnetic tape to move from one side to the other. It’s in #codePen so you’re free to inspect the code and make your own. Link in bio.#CSS#Animation#Art
