Hey folks!

Hey folks!

Hey folks, as part of trying to get my act together on my writing and my blog, I’m working with the fine folks at Inkslinger PR to try to beat my blog, social media, and even my long-defunct newsletter back into some kind of reasonable shape.

… which is great, because when you stop learning, you’re dead.

Truly epic vegan dessert pairing at Maestro’s Entre Nous speakeasy in downtown Greenville.

We had a wonderful hike in Asheville last Friday, though we had to keep the pace manageable due to my broken toe.

The above amazing example of a vegan dessert is a close relative of a “cronut” – where a cronut(TM) is a croissant donut, this is something like a croissant muffin, and it’s a decadently delicious dessert often found at The Smokin Onion, a vegan restaurant

Still more “Morpho: Simplified Forms”.

More studies from “Morpho: Simplified Forms”.

And today’s edition (well, not today’s, as I blog a little ahead) of cats on workspaces includes Lily I think, bringing one of her favorite balls to one of my favorite workstations, a high-topped bar table made by my wife to look like a giant coral.

Back in 1997, I drove across country for HAL 9000’s birthday (yes, THAT Hal), held at the University of Illinois, Urbana-Champaign, where a friend was a graduate student.

Another study of the thigh in relation to the rest of the body.

On the note of unblogged posts, here’s picking up my missed posts from 2025 – day 68 I believe was the last one I blogged, not counting one or two done out of order.

Unblogged torso study from day 1 of this year.

Kind of a foreshortened view.

It may not look like much, but it smarts where it counts, kid.
