To the folks who celebrate it, Happy Thanksgiving! (or as I've taken to calling it, Meat Halloween!)
Stuff your faces and tell everyone you care about that they're worth your time.
One shot every second for about six hours. Up in the western part of Northern Virginia. Still gotta get some tape or something for that camera light. #timelapse
Took me a few weeks longer to finish this wall piece than than I wanted, but I'm mostly happy with it.

Weekend scribbles with my kids. Been a while since I played with graphite and conte.
Following up my last post, one of the conferences I went to was Blender Conference. It was great time. All of the presentations should be uploaded:

PeerTube: https://video.blender.org/video-channels/conference_2018/videos
Back from 10 days of travel for two conferences. So much to digest from this... also, so much to catch up on since I left!
Blender folks! The design team where I work is expanding. Come work with me doing what I think is the most unique use of animation that you'll ever be involved with. Ping me with any questions yo have. #b3d
Need a cheat sheet for keyboard and mouse shortcuts in GIMP? I made one! #artwithopensource #gimp

I've had this Surface Pro 3 that I refitted with Linux for a while. Figured I should finally sticker the thing. Managed to do so with a nice subtle nerd joke, too.
Not too long ago, I set up a home NAS using OpenMediaVault and became a big fan of it. So I wrote a little "getting started" guide.
Curious about some more details about the recently-formed Academy Software Foundation? I've got a few.

SIGGRAPH hasn't always been the most open source friendly. But times seen to be a-changin'. #artwithopensource
Every now and again, Cartoon Brew posts something that I don't mind sharing. #artwithopensource

Some folks are still a bit twitchy about hosting their projects on GitHub. So I wrote a little article about what options you have available.
Soooo... been MIA for a bit due to conference travels and what-not. How goes it, Mastodon?
So how is it that I've gone all these years without knowing about the -L feature of ssh?
New experiment! Now I have a Joker ring. Should I make more? Malachite and purpleheart.
Wanted pancakes. Didn't have milk in the house. Too lazy to go to the store. Had to improvise.
And that's how I figured out how to make pancakes with canned coconut milk.

Huge Props to Bart and the developer for making this open source plug-in!
Little update on that whole Blender YouTube blocking thing that was happening. Looks like it's been resolved now. And as a bonus, the Blender Foundation has started to investigate PeerTube.
