Got a good hack?

For a recent study we had 3 systems recording simultaneously. Easy to lose track of which were on/off. This dice "dashboard" is 2 layers of cardboard with holes cut in the top.

Die in the hole = system recording. D8 is the session #. Easy to use, visible from afar.

Now I live here! I have a full time job at the airport. I had an idea for improving the airport and brought it to them. Now I am making a startup!

USAID stopping is breaking my heart."

(Part 1) I took a Lyft this week. The driver burst into tears. He said: "I am from the Sudan and my family was in big poverty. We received USAID food many times. If we had not received this food my family and I would have starved to death. I would be dead."

Pareidolia in the wild!

Doodled cartoon murder scene

During lunch this weekend I doodled up a murder at Carlson Farms. Chief Bear and Inspector Fowl pictured examining the victim!

Thanks! Nice to be connected!
