Finally got around to test prints with these older carvings. I’m still being pretty casual with the prints. My pressing workflow is limited to rubbing the back of the linoleum with the bottom of a jelly jar and my ink is rolled out on a piece of tinfoil. It is interesting how much more clearly […]

Weird Images
I haven’t been doing real photography lately but I’m still capturing images that amuse me. One of these remains at our local Food Lion. I’ve read about people picking them up and doing something with them. I don’t think I could justify it though. What is a poodle shooter? From A Connecticut Yankee in King […]
A long time since the last photo post
It’s tiny turtle season. Note the size of my two fingers. This guy was little. […]
Making a bunch of dropdowns from Google Sheets data
For some ongoing work with the AI Persona bot, I needed to create a drop down that would let you choose a country and get the cultural dimension scores. Turns out there were 120 something countries, each with six possible scores. Luckily, they were given to me in a Google Spreadsheet. Make the data In […]

CSS bar graph for Gravity Forms submissions
For the Detox, I’ve got a form where people will rate their confidence in a few things on a scale of 1 to 10. I thought it’d be nice to have the data presented in text and visually. That makes the resulting post a bit more polished and scannable. Step one was to work out […]
Looking at a Domain of One’s Own
Middlebury has a Domain of One’s Own initiative. We only dabbled in it a bit at VCU with one of Andrew’s web design courses. I’ve seen bits and pieces and worked with people on various aspects of this over the years but I haven’t paid attention in the same way I do when I’m actually […]
Screen Time
Every time I hear something about limiting screen time I cannot help but think about how poorly the concept has been thought out. If we talked about “food time” instead maybe that would help us think that while time matters (eating for hours each day is probably a bad idea), how long you eat probably […]
Portfolio Timeline
One of the things I ended up being dissatisfied with on my own portfolio was the timeline of my work history.1 At the time making an interactive multimedia timeline seemed like a good idea. Just the phrase “interactive multimedia timeline” sounds fancy, right? I made it using the KnightLab Timeline JS tool (which is a […]
Fake Hues
I heard Trump saying ‘fake news’ on the way in this morning and it led me to ‘fake hues.’ It’s been stuck in my head ever since. I thought this would have been done already but a cursory google search didn’t turn it up so . . . I took the image of Trump from […]
Re-Thinking My Portfolio
Below is the assignment I gave. I’m going to give it a shot starting with my own portfolio and then looking for aspirational goals in a subsequent post. Take a look around at portfolios other people are using. You’ll want to check out people in the field like Dr. Tressie McMillan Cottom but you’ll also […]
