eric sent me this and it’s awesome. the tribbles talk in 1pt-size-smaller voices like roast beef and spock talks totally normal. which is, you know, as it should be.

half inspired by my recent trip to the brookfield zoo, where i saw a super-cute polar bear cub.
this cub is sad because the other half of the inspiration comes from this article about how the ice caps are actually melting 3x faster than scientists projected.
(actual size: cub is approx 1″ tall)
see my photo of the clapham common tube station on last rounds.
while most of the people i know are mourning kurt vonnegut, i’m getting ready to celebrate the birth of leonhard euler, one of the greatest mathematicians that ever lived. the washington post has a good article about him. he was extremely prolific and sounds like a pretty fun dude. i’m totally serious.
as long as i’m thinking about math, a tip of the hat to mr. shaffer and mr. docherty, the two best math teachers ever. have you ever tried to make calculus and logarithms interesting? fun? engaging? these men could.
i feel like i’m real late to this train, but check out 5ives, a blog whose posts are in the form of lists of 5. of note:
check out magnetosphere, one of robert hodgin’s processing-produced motion graphics pieces.

OH MY GOD THIS IS ADORABLE.
pay off at the end when the otters swim apart then one COMES BACK to hold hands again! i can now die happy. i love otters. the only beanie baby i bought for myself (why do i have a million of them?? it was like the default gift in jr. high and high school i guess?) was the otter. he is holding a little piece of seaweed in his paws made of felt. i cut the edge of the seaweed so it looked like he was nibbling on it.
chuck kraemer’s short video about firefly letterpress is a really good introduction to the process if you don’t know anything about it. please note the linotype and how slick he is with the paper on the jobbing press.
mirrored here in case the above video dies in coming months/years.
