Just got comments back from my first peer reviewed journal article and the peers really liked it!? Minor revisions but pretty manageable. Very relieved!!

Hallmark Christmas movie where a tech executive comes from the big city to get an AI data center built on the town Christmas tree farm

https://wares.lifewinning.com/products/2024-plotter-postcard-quarterly heads up that I am closing up orders on this yearlong project of quarterly plotter postcards today so I have a consistent edition through the year. Printing for the first postcard starts soon, gets mailed out in March.

Test plot, not perfect but there's potential

not really sure what the fuck I'm doing here but it looks cool I think? trying to riff on the USGS isometric diagram aesthetic https://socks-studio.com/2023/10/15/the-hidden-territory-usgss-1950s-to-1970s-isometric-geological-diagrams/

Got to the part in the Doppelganger audiobook where Naomi Klein bemoans that Kissinger continues to advise governments and I got to yell "he's dead now Naomi!!" I hope she had a great day when that happened

last night a student told me the extent of her political education during her engineering degree came from playing Disco Elysium

for this kind of building in this part of Brooklyn, the most likely buyer is going to gut the whole place anyway, so while it is a decent move on his part for our quality of life it's pretty irrational for him to spend more money on things like this if he really wants to sell in the next year. very confusing mixed messages!!

Kitty has been having some incontinence issues as she's gotten older which has led to more than one pissing incident in our building's front hallway. my landlord was trying to sell the building like four months ago but he just texted to say he's going to see about getting his contractor to replace the front hall carpet with hard flooring, which is thoughtful but also seems like a weird expense if you're really planning to sell this place?

The co-op bakery in my neighborhood has a little book rack and a few months ago I gave them some zines including one of the first self published copies of Networks of New York. Today I learned there's a family with a little kid who reads it every single time they come to the store!! It's their favorite book!!

When I watch old videos of my dog I think "she was so little" and then have to remember we got her when she was six years old and she is basically the exact same size now

https://observablehq.com/d/c8fafa2b34282fb4 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

Listening to the audiobook of Naomi Klein's Doppelganger and a little disappointed she doesn't do a silly voice for Other Naomi

My downstairs neighbor is learning to play the cello and honestly I love it, so cute to hear the little scales very proud of u neighbor

we should use the word "imbroglio" more
