How to make art while raising a kid
It's less of a "how to", and more of a "here's what ends up happening."
That awareness that your art time is slipping away while you're doing the art is too real, though. It ends, then you feel a shock, then you transition into making mountains out of Play-Doh and whatever. I do like that, at least post-infanthood, whatever it is you do with your kid is at least active (whether it's something you like, like building spaceships or something you don't like, like reading a Thomas story you've read five times yesterday) so you can mentally move on from what you were doing quickly. -
I decided to go against my instincts and continue to write my D&D adventure on paper instead of writing it in GitHub-flavored Markdown. I think spending some time not typing is good for me.
Sadly, it was kind of hard to decide, my friends. -
16 checks. I may be ready to lower the limit next week.

Greatest political interview of all time.
Q: Let’s focus on a specific issue: the environment. If a Dallas-based corporation created an all-consuming Tree of Might that destroyed the environment, but in the process created lots of energy and jobs, what would you do?
Nathan: I would blow up the tree. I would call Goku for help, and the small floating guy, Chaozu. We need his help as well. Different characteristics. -

Both sexes indulge in inemuri, but women are more likely to be criticized for it, especially if they sleep in a position that is considered unbecoming, Dr. Steger said.
…
One reason public sleeping may be so common in Japan is that people get so little sleep at home. A 2015 government study found that 39.5 percent of Japanese adults slept less than six hours a night.

10-10-10, at home, with long breaks between sets. Could not find time during the day to do pull-ups on the regular bar.

My kid keeps saying "Atia Banju." No search results are telling me what that might be.

Miyu Kojima Creates Miniature Replicas of Lonely Deaths
Part art therapy and part public service campaign, Kojima spends a large portion of her free time recreating detailed miniature replicas of the rooms she has cleaned. A word of caution: although recreated without the corpses, some of the replicas can be quite disturbing.
Disturbing, but amazing. Via the Hot Garbage newsletter. -
I think I've come up with another thing I'm excited about, but at most, 1-2 other people in the world will be into.

I can attest that the Ninja Gaiden soundtrack remixed at random sounds great.

17 checks yesterday. About half of them were clearly about trying to get away from some problem or other, rather than wanting to read anything in particular.

10-6-5-3-2-3. It was a good grip day! I'm busy and was considering skipping, but I'm glad I didn't. Fell short on the total, but I'm glad I got the 6 in there.

I haven't listened to Sigh since Imaginary Sonicscape, and it turns out they have been making amazing stuff since and before then.
Their new single, Homo Homini Lupus, is good, but I have been stunned by their Graveward album, which I had missed earlier. In particular, The Tombfiller, which is this really free-spirited song with horns, saxophones, vocoder vocals, and guitar solos just jumping in all over, fluidly, as if a person was imagining it in real time.
Also, I just found out that Sigh's album names are an acrostic that spells SIGH repeatedly. -
Nested on the servers’ motherboards, the testers found a tiny microchip, not much bigger than a grain of rice, that wasn’t part of the boards’ original design.
One official says investigators found that it eventually affected almost 30 companies, including a major bank, government contractors, and the world’s most valuable company, Apple Inc.
Would be interesting to know how this chip worked. -
13 checks. I'm tired, and the guy is not falling asleep tonight! We're really accustomed to him dropping off immediately at this point.

The guy started saying "Why am I real?" today.

Dang, I really need to fix that image rotation issue.
