A middle aged man with long brown hair and goatee stands in front of Union Station in Denver, a train station with a neoclassical design of off-white stone and rounded arches. The man wears dark blue jeans and a black t-shirt bearing the symbols of a rose and a broken chain. In a gothic font, the shirt reads “Protect trans folks”
A day late but I am passing by thousands of people today so I’m going for impact over punctuality. ✊🏳️⚧️🏳️🌈

A cedarwood garden bed, backed by a small arbor, in a side yard, on an early Spring day.
Just finished this weekend, rebuilding an arbor and garden bed for my wife, alongside our driveway. It was a blast to make real use of my newly-remodeled garage workshop, ripping, cutting, gluing and screwing together an arbor from cedar planks and sticks. Then a bit of digging to partially bury and place the garden bed boundaries (now level).
Our old arbor and bed were pre-built or kits, and the wood was just crumbling after a few years. Lots of lessons learned. Making arches well is difficult - "measure twice cut once" for me should be more like "measure thrice...". Anyhow, on to the next project!

Salute!
nice work!
That arbor looks amazing!
This looks wonderfully made and very pretty too!

At least once a day Casper expects to go for a ride on my shoulders.
Sweet boy!
Ach. Cats riding on your shoulders. It's the greatest thing.

A pen-and-ink illustration of a tall, thin woman with glasses and a short haircut, wearing a long-sleeved shirt, plaid skirt, and flats, and carrying a purse. She's looking at the reader and has a neutral (possibly slightly miffed) expression. She looks somewhat like an adult version of the Peanuts character Marcie.

This could function as a portrait of a large percentage of my female presenting friends.
As a little kid who was into "Peanuts" and other comic strips, happening across a book of his single-panel comics about teenagers was weirdly disorienting in an uncanny-valley sort of way.
As a 6'6" 17 year old I felt like the male equivalent of this.
@joost Me too, I was 6'5" and 140 lbs.
@rogrtheshrubber high five! 72 kg here. So I think I know how you felt
Does this character speak in trombone womps?

vintage ad with a bikini-clad woman floating in a pool on a floaty that looks like a hotdog pack, captioned "King Size Fun From Hebrew National"
Skinless.
“Ideal gift for those weekends in the Hamptons.”
I’m really struggling to grasp the target market for this ad.

A red reflector on a red bag
I never use the buckles on the Timbuk2 bag I recently found in a free box, so I made a bracket that clips into the flap.

A bearded, baldheaded man wearing glasses. His t-shirt has a drawing a a large possum protecting a smaller one colored with the stripes of the Trans Flag. Text around the picture reads "PROTECT TRANS YOUTH." Not sure why I'm squinting like that.
Thank you for being a classroom ally! I know that you know what this means.

I wrote a lil sumthin about my journey to eat a slice of pie in an American Diner for realcool.co

Good pie is difficult to find outside of the Deep South or Midwest. I applaud your search.
@m3moellering as I discovered! There were a bunch more places we visited but rarely was a good pie seen until we hit "A Slice of Pie" restaurant in Rolla, Missouri. I didn't include it in the story because it was a restaurant and not a diner, but in retrospect it should of had a honorable mention. The pies here were amazing!

Rolla is a short distance from where my mother grew up and a “college town” to boot. I know southern Missouri well. Diners that are the central point of a community are more likely to have a refrigerator case of pie than those frequented by the highway population, imo. Grabbing a quick bite seldom means having pie and coffee in the America that we’ve devolved into.
Good article! I live in the US midwest and try to eat at diners whenever i'm traveling around, they're an endangered species. Even here, not all of them have pie, or very good pie, so finding a good one is always a win.
You were so close... The Majestic or the Silver Skillet in the -other- Atlanta would have done you right. The Maj will actually melt a cheese slice on it if you ask.
@1f2frfbf adding to list for next time... cheese slice eh? Interesting!

Here in Europe citizens are being prepared for war.
We need to be able to take care of ourselves for 72 hours. Without drinking water, electricity or natural gas.
Turns out there's a factory in Rotterdam, anno 1922, that still makes oil lamps.
For sailing yachts.
I love the parabolic reflector and the brass.

@joost Den Haan, I assume? I'll hop on my bike and get one too. It's practically around the corner.
(I haven't prepared anything)

@waa Jeetje, yes it's den Haan.
I'm amazed you know about them.
I guess candles would work too. Or battery driven LED lights. Or an east german style Feuerhand Sturmlaterne.
But this is a beautiful object I think.

Making posters. Got blood in my eyes right now.
Layout might change, might add color, but the only thing I'm really debating is whether to print at 24x36" or spring for 36x48" and risk taking up too much room on what will likely be a very crowded bus.
Check your local time.
Noon in Seattle. Maybe I'll see you there.

i equate the level of fascist to no number of black stripes on unamerican flags
Relevant to my interests. I need to make a sign/poster. Tell me about your printing technique/method. Do you have a large format printer, or do you take it to a local print shop?
@ang Kinko's will do a 24x36 for about 6 bucks and something on the larger 48" printer runs around $15-20.
@MackReed Thanks, though probably not as fun(?), Kinko's beats the pants off of any amateur Lino/block/hand lettering I can do with art supplies.
Try a swastika t in fascist.

Wonder if there's a perl gag in there.
@poorusher I mean, I don't like Perl, but I wouldn't say it makes me gag. (/rimshot)
great sweater, but GAH, get your fingers away from the disk opening on the floppies!
@cristin ah, they're nowhere close
Props for having a proper (Amsoft 3") disc in there

Don't copy that floppy!
As an added note, GOG just added Starlight 1 & 2, which wasted so many hours of my mid-20s.

@cristin Preserving media is Talboom's job, so I'm guessing these are basically props.
Lol, I saw this photo earlier, but totally missed the sweater b/c I was looking at the computers.

A photo of a bowl of duck ramen.
This is my favorite ramen so far. However, it’s very popular and I may never wait in line for it again. I waited in line for two hours for this bowl, but I think that was longer than usual because it was a holiday.

a Korg volca drum machine with over a dozen tiny knobs, a tiny orange lcd screen, and sixteen numbered buttons along the bottom. a few wires are connected.
Having fun with this little drum machine--something very satisfying about putting something together with physical knobs and buttons and then "performing" it into a DAW instead of creating drums on screen.
Cheers, enjoy!
I often miss my pile of robots. I can make all sorts of cool sounds on my iPad but tweaking knobs in real time is oh so satisfying... and no, a midi controller isn't the same, heh.

This comic strip shows Charlie Brown from Peanuts in a baseball scene during rainfall. Four panels depict Charlie standing in the rain wearing his yellow shirt and baseball glove. In the first panel, Charlie says "SO IT'S RAINING A LITTLE." Second panel: "A LITTLE RAIN NEVER HURT ANYBODY." Third panel shows another character asking "WHAT ARE YOU GONNA DO IF A BALL HAPPENS TO COME YOUR WAY?" In the final panel, Charlie responds "IF IT HAPPENS, IT HAPPENS" while standing in heavy rain near what appears to be a baseball scoreboard.

Love the quote (but I love Watterson's artwork to the degree that I kind of wish it weren't tampered with like this when the quote works so well on its own terms)
