Still need a #HalloweenCostume? We pulled four ideas from our collection, including one for people who’d rather spend the night on the couch.

The text: Philip Evergood, “My Forebears Were Pioneers”
You will need:
Long black dress
Red book
Rocking chair
Optional: dog
Plus images of all those things, including the painting, which shows an old woman in a long black dress, sitting in a rocking chair and holding a red book. To her right is a skinny yellow dog with floppy ears, holding one paw over its muzzle. Behind are large toppled trees, including one that rests atop a brownish yellow Victorian-style house.
The text: Lamar Dodd, “Self Portrait”
You will need:
Collared white shirt and dark slacks
Pipe
Palette
Pitcher full of paintbrushes
Plus images of all those things, including the painting, which shows the painter in action, at work on this portrait. He wears a white dress shirt rolled up above the elbow and uses his left hand to hold a paintbrush against the canvas. We can't see what's on it, only him. He holds a pipe in his mouth. A palette lies on the table in front of him, and there is a pit…
The text: Elihu Vedder, “The Poet Bears the Sorrows of the World”
You will need:
Cane or big stick
Round tree ornament
Crown of vines
Dark bedsheet
Plus images of all those things, including the painting, which shows a mournful figure in long brown robes. He wears a laurel wreath on his head and holds a reflective globe in his right hand, which he partially gazes at. His left hand holds a tall rustic staff. His feet are bare and he wanders in a desolate landscape.
The text: Frederick Carl Frieseke, “Girl Sewing” (“The Chinese Robe”)
You will need:
Comfortable robe
Craft project
Couch with throw pillows
House plants
Plus images of all those those things, including the painting, which shows a young woman reclining propped up on a flowered sofa. She wears a pale green robe covered with a floral pattern and holds a piece of embroidery, which she works on. Her hair is dark and pulled back. Behind the sofa, potted plants sit in a row on a windowsill.

Watched Mad Monster Party? from 1967 with wifey in honor of the season. Super weird, wild, funny, kinda corny and odd movie done by Rankin Bass (known for the Rudolph and Frosty flicks). Swear the Misfits guys we're inspired by some of this. Dr. Frankenstein even says he's going to give up this 'horror business'. boxd.it/1ITg

The Defense Department’s vaunted network of research laboratories
— whose scientists helped develop satellite communication, radar technology, and even the computer mouse
— is in trouble.
The labs lost a significant share of their staff last year,
largely in response to the Trump administration’s efforts to thin the federal work force.
Refilling critical positions was proving difficult due in part to President Trump’s demand that new hires be screened for their…

All 20 mortises are done. I forgot about the slots for the z-clips to hold the top on. So, I cut those real quick. All the 1" mortises made the 1/4" slots feel like nothing.
All the pieces are sanded to 220 grit and the legs have been rounded off with a router.
Tomorrow is dry-fit and hopefully glue up.
Then, I just have to do the top.
26 days left.

a bunch of wooden pieces stacked neatly on the edge of a work bench.  all look sanded and ready for dry fit.

Wish I could trace down that thread by Casey Explosion about how app driven gig economy parasites start out as loss leaders to engage in predatory pricing. How they are able to burn through cash for so long because such apps are still seen as “the future” and a cargo cult of venture capital forms around them.
There are other examples of this happening, even if predatory pricing is not part of the formula, rather “the future” of tech being seen as sci-fi being made real leading to the v…

“Someone once told me that time was a predator that stalked us all our lives. But I rather believe than time is a companion who goes with us on the journey, and reminds us to cherish every moment because they'll never come again. What we leave behind is not as important how we lived. After all, Number One, we're only mortal.” – Jean-Luc Picard in Star Trek: Generations (1994)
