A rough, hand-drawn x/y graph with the horizontal axis labeled “blue” and the vertical labeled “red”. Three points are labeled: 1 (far right, low), 2 (fairly left, medium-high), and 3 (slightly above center), with lines connecting 1 to 2 and 2 to 3. Each line is split into four roughly equal sections, labeled 1-4. There are four circles beyond 3 along where the line from 2 to 3 would continue if it went past three, labeled 5-8. The bug was in code with a nested loop. I have one iterator for tracking which overall color we’re on, and another for which of the inter-point divisors we’re on. The code was incorrectly using the first iterator to calculate the colors, causing it to pick colors outside the intended range after the first one.

A full phone booth under a brown wooden shelter next to a building with reddish wooden siding, with traffic-yellow pillars in front to prevent parking cars from knocking into it.

This full-size payphone booth at the Rain Forest Resort Center in Quinault, WA, is very well preserved but has no service.

A small toy horse tied to a metal ring embedded in a curb previously used for tying up real horses, next to a rain puddle and a car tire for scale. The horse is very small, maybe 2 inches tall.

Various parts of Portland still have these metal rings embedded in the curb that were previously used for tying up horses. I have often felt compelled to tie my car to them as a joke. It looks like someone went a different route.

A photo from inside the branches of a cherry tree. There are a lot of cherries still to be picked. The branches are an uncooperative mess.

Picked about 1/5 of the cherries from our trees today.

A Cray-2 computer, photographed from an angle above. It is C-shaped when looking down, about 3.5 feet tall and 2 feet across. Several pannels are transparent so you can see its insides.

We got to see a Cray-2 in Conservatoire National des Arts et Métiers, as part of a really wonderful tour.

A 6x6 grid of low-resolution images. They're mostly family, friends, and pets, plus Glenda and the pjw 9-ball image.

I made a version of Plan 9's memo using (mostly) photos of the family for the kids to play with. Guest appearance by Glenda.
