§ I took a work trip to Pittsburgh Children’s Museum on Tuesday. I particularly loved all of the interactive artwork—they even had one of Daniel Rozin’s mechanical mirrors!
A side effect of the giant honeymoon roadtrip is that the two hour drive from Cleveland to Pittsburgh felt like nothing.
§ I got to play with the new 26 TOP RaspberryPi AI hat. It is super fast! Live video segmentation happens more or less real-time. The Pi get hot though. I’ll need to look into serious cooling options if I want to use it in any kind of permanent capacity.
§ I joined Glass again after giving it a brief try last year. The photos page I set up here on this blog is still the best, more permanent home for my photograph but it’s nice to have a second place that is part of a wider community.
As a consequence I’ve also gotten back into film photography. After I finish my current roll of black and white I’m excited to experiment with color film next before the winter weather drains all of the color out of my potential subjects.
§ I’ve talked about how much I would like to design and build a playground on more than one occasion and reading about Linda Liukas‘ experience creating a playground in Helsinki definitely didn’t diminish that.
§ Longlegs was stylish and disturbing and one of the more interesting horror movies I’ve seen in a while. It has just enough Nick Cage.
§ We had very few trick-or-treaters this year. Two groups total—by far the fewest since moving into this house.
§ Daylight savings time ended today. Last year I used the opportunity to push my morning alarm earlier—from 6:00 to 5:30am. I’ve really appreciated the extra time in the morning. I think I’m going to give 5:15 a try for the time being.
