Happy Earth Day. My family is celebrating early by signing up for #arcadia and powering our home with green energy through #REC.

Experimenting with junk wood to see whether I can recreate the pattern I made in Gimp. Yes and no, and it's harder when the finish is over thick.

The more I use #gimp the more I like it. Did you know it has a reflective symmetry painting option? I'm using it to design patterns that I'll carve into the dark wood of the #chessboard box.

Looks good. Now to make the box.

@da haha, i'm old school, I don't mine crypto.

I started trying to rebuild my gaming rig, and holy cow, graphics cards are expensive.

Terrastories is an #opensource #map-based #storytelling tool: https://youtu.be/ggGPV8nN95Y

I made a tutorial for StoryCorps, an app to guide people through preparing for, conducting, and sharing oral interviews: https://youtu.be/OD_YK1Dac38

I have to admit, StoryCorps has a fantastic pitch.

I could play half a game!

I'm just so pleased. I started cutting two years ago feeling certain that the squares would be all wonky. And they aren't; they're perfect. Huzzah for good equipment.

Did a redesign of the board, now that I'm pretty sure I can cut joints.
