§ As is tradition this time of year, I found a baby deer in my yard on Monday. This one was more skiddish than most. We can only hope less ravenous towards the tomato plants too.
§ At work I spent some time trying to emulate Tristan Duke’s fascinating and monolithic Aperture Lucida project, just at a much smaller scale. After making two different rudimentary jigs I dipped my toe into the overwhelming prospect of re-learning Rhino3D/Grasshopper so that I can eventually automate the process with a laser cutter. I had forgotten how unapproachable node-based visual programming can be, especially at first. Once I get into the flow of things, though, I find it to be a uniquely fun playground environment.
§ I finished reading the first installment of Septology. It’s one of the best examples of accessible experimental writing I’ve seen. It is just quirky enough that I considered giving it up right before it hooked me. I’m excited to continue in on the rest of the series.
