Photo of the house used for the movie A Christmas Story
Yesterday I spoke on tarot at the Buckland Museum of Witchcraft. Afterward, Steven, the museum’s proprietor, took me out to dinner at a local spot called the Rowley Inn. I had no idea that the house where “A Christmas Story” was filmed was literally across the street from the Rowley. So was the Bumpus house. And Steven used to be the proprietor of the Christmas Story museum as well.

Aw, hell, you should have said you were in town! (If you're still around I have cocktail recommendations.)
Sorry, just a day trip. Next time, for sure! It’s not that bad of a drive from Detroit.
I was with my daughter at "The Future" store in Minneapolis, fine purveyors of tarot and crystals. I'd been planning to buy a deck and was a little astonished at the prices. My daughter forbade me from trying to haggle the price down a bit, though mostly because when the cashier would refuse she knew I'd say, "I see you refuse to negotiate with tarotists."

A Cheeseball sculpted to resemble a bald eagle, with pecans for feathers and a yellow pepper beak.
Perfect for July 4th, Philadelphia football games, or in my case, the birder in the family. Inspired by Amy Sedaris on Insta :

3D printed zori: DONE!

Sooo... I didn't like a few details of the sandal sole that I downloaded. The rear strap holes were too close together, and the wells for the straps were too shallow and conical in a weird way that kept me from attaching the straps the way I wanted to, SO...
I spent a day teaching myself Autodesk Fusion in order to model my own version of the soles so I could adjust them to my own tastes. Autodesk Fusion is TERRIBLE. It likes to make things disappear unexpectedly, and there can be unpredictable side effects whenever you press a button. It's like mystery meat navigation, except that the navigation interferes with your history, so you can't even go back to the page you can from properly. So the day spent learning it was mostly spent screaming "WHY WOULD YOU DO THAT??" at the computer.
But anyway, my girlfriend showed me how to sew my own straps out of a cheap fake-velvet material, which was a LOT more fun, and now part of me wants a sewing machine of my very own. TPU also makes for terrible traction, so I cut out treads and glued them to the 3D printed sole so I wouldn't, um, die.
So yeah! I 3D printed my own footwear! Except for the parts made out of a bunch of other materials. And really, making all the other parts by hand was the most fun I've had in awhile. The real world rules y'all!

Cool!

If you have any experience using a graphic design program then try to clean CAD, every bit of logic and muscle memory will work against you because they work in entirely different ways. Cool project, and if you have the itch to sew more I’d say dive right in, it’s a super satisfying hobby.
If you have a bit of a programming mindset, OpenSCAD is usually much less frustrating than dealing with the UI quirks of the graphical editors. And the BOSL2 package for it adds a lot of useful primitives.

A can of beer that has been stowed in a cavity under the front bumper of a 4WD vehicle in Karratha, Western Australia. No idea why, but could think of a few scenarios.
If you ever find yourself collecting a hire car for a drive out bush in the north west of Australia... always check under your front bumper to see if the beer fairies left you anything. Also hope that the beer fairies don't leave you a shit beer like this one. But it's the thought that counts right?
Please subscribe me to your blog.
I said 4x4, not XXXX fore.
Do better beer fairies, do better.

There was some CEO who was moaning about the cost of it, as I guess most of his developers are tokenmaxxing. So he wants the cost to come down, when every AI company will absolutely want and need their costs to be driven up. Think it will implode at some point.
OpenAI’s IPO was delayed when their 2025 financials were revealed to show a $9B loss, despite a $13B in revenue. Make it make sense.

Urban sketching in Millvale, PA

Sketch of the back of some houses in Millvale, PA. Done while attending a meetup of the Urban Sketchers Pittsburgh group.
Earlier this year I started attending some of the weekly meetups of the Pittsburgh Urban Sketchers group. We meet every Thursday at a bar or other gathering place somewhere in the city. Everyone fans out to sketch the surroundings or patrons of the location, and then congregates at the end to share what we worked on. It's been fun sketching again, and sometimes using my watercolor paints, with a big group of like-minded folks.
This was sketched at a bar called The Grist House in Millvale, PA (a "suburb" of Pittsburgh).

You have something against the Polish?
Just kidding, a great idea, nice drawing. Nice to get together with like minded people.

Death, as the Grim Reaper, stands in front of a crane machine which has grabbed a body while saying: “Lindsey Graham? Is Donald Trump even in this thing?”
The damage this fucker caused. Pisses me off that I'm going to have to lower the flag for this asshole.
Hell got just a little worse today.
I’d settle for confirmation of Mitch’s decommissioning.
