I can’t explain why I had to make this web app, but I had to make this web app. https://colarusso.github.io/popcorn/ Hopefully, someone else will find it useful and/or fun. 🍿 #popcorn

@futurebird this is interesting, and though I don’t think I consider it great, Asimov’s The Gods Themselves really seems to tick a lot of these boxes, e.g., subatomic, biological, cosmic. The conflict explicitly spans multiple layers of the Onion. 🤔

6 & 11yo are finishing up their rockets today. They should have time to paint and let them dry before tomorrow’s launch. 🤞🚀

This is the kids’ third summer building and launching rockets. This year’s model is more than half as tall as the 6yo. Odd how each year the rockets seem to get bigger. I wonder if we’re on pace for an orbital launch before she graduates HS. 🤔Shown: 6yo’s last 3 builds, followed by 11yo’s.

In school I used to doodle during lecture, and just today I realized I can do the same during (some) Zoom meetings. This was penned during our Casual Friday lunch session and based on a the pic I snapped earlier today.

This was my first time painting with a toothpick—made for my library’s Tiny Art event.

And here are all of our works together: my wife’s, mine, the 6yo’s, and the 11yo’s.

When I told my wife I was going to paint The Starry Night, she asked how many other folks I thought would do the same, and I said, “three.” Dear reader, once we see what’s on display, I will report back.

I’m sorry to report that so far mine is the only Starry Night. Also, the kids’ paintings outnumber the adults by something like 5 to 1. This is the entirety of the adult paintings (worth zooming in). Come on Arlington adults, step up your game. 🎨

We went downtown this afternoon, and I was inspired to paint the Old State House.¹ Can you spot the major alteration I had to make? Hint: I misjudged how much room I had left on the page. ___¹ https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Old_State_House_(Boston)

I wasn’t happy with my last painting which made me a bit antsy. Anyhow, I couldn’t let it bee. So I chose another tiny-wildlife subject and opted to draw in bed instead of doomscrolling.

We decided to do something spontaneously today as a family, and the 11yo exclaimed, “I love making plans randomly!” I really liked that framing.
