observablehq.com/d/c8fafa2b342 retrofitted an observable demo that did a neat trick with generating isolines to accept arbitrary geojson files--it's hella slow but I think it will make for some nice plotter drawings. this one is probably going to be a little gift for a friend who just had a kid whose middle name is, I am serious, California

testing out a pipeline of STRM data to STL to plotter.vision's SVG renderer, gel pens can be a little hit or miss but overall promising I think?

Got a new tattoo because this year has been a lot but I am still alive

It's based on a drawing of a quartz crystal I found in the National Archives when I was researching high purity quartz mining in Brazil during WWII

Made a cronchy hillshade drawing on the plotter today

observablehq.com/@lifewinning/ sort of a hack but here is the cross-hatched hillshade map visualizations with cross-hatch bodies of water--because of the particular complexity of the river I'm using as an example I tesselate the water polygons but in theory you might not have to for a basic shoreline or something. Also yes, it loads super-slow sorry

One time at the dog park someone said Kitty had "gravitas" and every time she does a goofy little face I whisper "gravitas" to her

Kitty just had a little waffle and wonders if maybe she could also have my waffle

Found a picture of Kitty from shortly after the animal rescue took her from a kill shelter that was going to put her down and it breaks my heart how skinny and scared she looked then but also I remember seeing this picture on their website and thinking "maybe this is my dog"

Trying out ballpoint pen on graph paper with the big pen plotter
