As always, any day a new OK Go video drops, I'll post it and be excited about it. Some really great visual inventiveness in this one!

Fire training video shoot today for Central Piedmont Community College. Got to fly the drone and catch some video of Mint Hill Fire Department and our students. Thanks to everyone involved for helping make this happen!

Big brand video shoot this week.

2025’s technical Oscar winners have three major themes, and one is ‘setting people on fire’ Burninating the countryside, burninating the stunt folks

In trying to stay sane by not posting about US politics, here's some info about this year's technical Oscars. The new fire gels are fantastically interesting (and really cool to see stunt-related items included in the awards), and the other digital achievements are quite fascinating as well.

Ok Go has always had amazing music videos with crazy video production, and this one is right up there with some of the classics.

Thanks for letting me know! Added you to the list.

The LICHES method for writing descriptive boxed text. Really useful if you’re not sure how to get the most out of your descriptions from a Game Design perspective.

Pixel, a white cat with black and brown patches, is curled up and sleeping adorably on my lap.

Would love to get some writing done, but guess it can wait because if this mess. #cats

Salted caramel apple pie with lattice crust.

For holiday meals did a bunch of cooking, but most proud of how the salted caramel apple pie came out.

Added!

Added both! Thanks!

I just picked up a physical copy of Sherwood a few weeks ago to feed my childhood Robin Hood fixation. Definitely a great addition to the collection; it both reads well AND looks like fun to play!

For cat lovers everywhere, no less than 15 big cats, cave lions?, lionesses?, in black outline on the beige limestone rock. All are looking left, their attention utterly caught by the bison and bear drawn there. There is so much energy in their attentiveness, as if about to move. Some close superimposition of cat profiles hints at animation

A large pendant of stalactite drops down from the cave roof. On it is drawn the lower half of a female figure taking in the wider part of the stal as her belly, black charcoal outlines sketching her tapering legs and pubic hair. From the right, also in black, a bison in profile is superimposed on the left flank of the female, by its leg appears to merge with her leg. the single eye of the bison appear coincident with the position of the belly button of the female. Ambiguity in showing human forms directly does seem to be a part of Aurignacian and later European cave art.

At least 10 Woolly Rhinos, in black outline on the beige limestone rock. At the top four look closely superimposed giving an impression of animated movement.

Finally the famous, beautiful image of four horses, all facing left drawn in black outline on the beige limestone with yellow ochre paint to the rear. The person, or people, who drew these, captured something so essential in the nature of the horse, as with so many Chauvet animals there is empathy/sympathy here.

Chauvet Cave was discovered on the 18th December 1994.
30 years ago today. To many it is the most arresting expression of cave art in the archaeological record & it is one of the oldest examples in Europe.
Here are four of my highlights.

Okay, my meeting with my boss has been postponed by three hours, which is not enough time to start a new work task but too much time to sit around twiddling my thumbs. So I'm making a thread of What Your TTRPG Product's Title Font Says About You: Featuring Only Fonts I Already Own.

Starting to post reviews as I rewatch favorites (or watch new films!) to Letterboxd. Last night was one of my favorites, The Maltese Falcon. I think there is a great #TTRPG campaign somewhere around the search for that bird!
