A stack of “cards” made from index cards cut in half, fanned out so the top one is entirely visible and some corners of the rest are, on a wooden counter. The cards have handwritten titles, project descriptions and bulleted “tags” at the bottom.

A small child in an adults winter coat standing in a photo studio in front of a staged backdrop. She's wearing a frog print dress and a frog hat pulled entirely over her head making her look much more like a frog person. She's standing on a concrete floor above what look vaguely like blood splatter, making it look like the frog may have just done something terrible.

A sandwich with brown bread on a green plate; on top is placed cheese cut out to read the phrase “this sandwich protects women“.

A single lane road running through a densely wooded area. A tree has fallen across a powerline and there is smoke coming from where they touch.

A (fake) red transistor radio and cat stuffed animal, both in the style of Kiki’s Delivery Service. They are sitting on a cutting mat on a table.

An A4 sheet of paper laying on a wood floor. On the paper are two plots: a relatively simple line drawing of the outline of a man’s head wearing glasses, taking up about half the page, and Space Glenda, nestled in the lower left 12th or so
First plot with my new (to me) plotter.

Adult and child (with face obscured by a smiling face emoji) on a plane. Both are smiling. The kid is reading the airplane safety card with a large title “safety first” while wearing a cute ladybug dress; the adult is wearing a shirt saying “You will have to go through me” in trans flag colors.

A crudely drawn circular logo with the (fabricated) latin phrase “sic semper ovibus” around the outside and old-school manual shears in the middle.

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.
