Drew after this photo by Henry P. Schmidt which I found mesmerizing and very different from other photos of the same mission I found online.

Ladybugs
Saw https://museum.stanford.edu/exhibitions/printing-protest and immediately visualized the ladybugs moving in my mind.
I extracted the foreground (ladies and bamboo sticks) and several individual ladybugs via https://segment-anything.com/ to, and animated them via Adobe Fresco Motion.

Water lavender
I am starting to experiment with https://feather.art/ which is an app (based on https://doi.org/10.1145/3528223.3530092) for painting in 3D via a 2D interface by specifying the support surfaces first followed by projecting the (screen) strokes onto them.
It took some time to get used to the workflow, but I like it so far.

Mapping a dog’s mind
Sitting a dog named Chewie, whose mind I tried to map as the following state machine:
Follow me around within 3 feel and eye sight.
Rest over a soft surface whenever possible (especially his beds which I can put where I want him to be).
Eat and drink when inside.
Pee and poop when outside.
Sleep, other than the above.

Why and how
Saw these two cars damaged and piled together inside a cordoned parking area, and wondered how they ended up in such a configuration and why.

Confidential shredding
The other day while sliding a document into a confidential shredding slot in the office, a thought came to my mind that a shredding bin might be the most likely place that people want to peek into.

Everyone has talent at 25, the difficulty is to have it at 50
I am not sure about the first part, but I do agree with the second part.

Faces in the waiting area
The blood test center is full of people born in the 1930s during an early Monday morning (which I try to avoid except for fasting). I wonder if it would be full of vampires at night.
