Steps Into The Unknown (2025)
(Actually a lie, since this was taken on the way back, just before sunset, but it was "into the unknown" a six hours earlier... These steps of the only partially secured path are leading up to around 100 meters above/along the increasingly more steep and narrow canyon. The rocks/slopes on the left go up almost another 2000m [out of view, of course]...)
#FootpathFriday

POV view of a narrow path with natural rock steps along the side walls of a canyon (near its entrance). The section is partially secured with a steel rope along the rock face on the left. Clear blue sky with the opposite side of the valley catching the last sun light of the day.

Since coming back from Germany for HARRIS I've been chasing a weird issue on my ThunderScope 100baseT1 test setup.
Before leaving for HARRIS I unplugged the TS, left the rest of the setup untouched, and brought the TS with me to demo to people while traveling.
After coming back the TS appears fine (passed calibration, and gives good-looking eyes on 100baseTX).
But when hooked back to the same, theoretically unmodified baseT1 test setup, I get weird diagonal distortion, …

The left end of the arc is obscured by a stand of aspen with leaves turned golden at the top and still green at the bottom. A field of brown grasses and low bushes stretches across the bottom of the image. Across the middle some low mountains lie beneath the rainbow, partially hidden by mist, or possibly rain. Deep blue sky reaches across the top. September 2004.

After a day or two of battling it, I removed it and went with `bufio.NewReader`and a nice `context.CloseWith` setup and now it…

We had family visiting for a few days last week, including a one year old boy who is very fond of dogs. Izzy is a cautious rescue dog, but she warmed up to the toddler. After about two days, the toddler would walk up to Izzy and bend over so his face was close to Izzy and she would give him a kiss. When they left after four days, I think Izzy was sad to see him go. #DogsofMastodon

The Hurvin Anderson exhibition at Tate Britain is eye-opening for me. I didn't really know anything about him, and I'm loving the vibes, the subjects, the treatment and the materials (mostly acrylic on linen).

The Banqueting Palace, 2026
A looming building in a dark grey, rain soaked painting, with figures in the middle ground, on a bike, one riding on the handlebars, reflected in the wet pavement. Bare winter trees are in either side in front of a blue sky. 

Anderson explains: 'This is the painting of a memory. I wanted to recapture a walk home from school. The canvas is dominated by a dark sky. Devoid of people, it evokes the twilight of a suburban winter afternoon in England. A lot of the time th…
Passenger Opportunity, 2023-24, Reworked 2026
A huge panelled work featuring verdant scenes on the right and urban on the left. Subjects included slavery - lines of slaves in irons on the right, and family and community on the left. The colours are vibrant acrylic. At the bottom are images of departure, arrival and farewells.
Miss Sylvia, 2011
A striking, simple blue and yellow beach scene, with a single black woman in the middle, in a bikini, with her sun on her head and shoulders. The foliage behind her is portrayed by the absence of the blue background so the yellow wash shows through.
Untitled (Red Flags), 2004
The epic scale of the dark green jungle foliage behind this beach, stretching high above to fill the frame, dwarfs the crowd of people on the beach. There are red dangers flags in front of a red and white parasol. In the distance on the right, a line of fierce surf can be seen. For something so colourful and innocent, this picture of a busy beach gives me a surprising sense of ominous dread.

I've painted the utility room! And myself a bit. Gone is sickly peach and in is a startlingly bright and fresh green. It wasn't my first choice but it's turned out to be exactly right. It feels like it brings the outdoors green inside, which is exactly what I'd hoped to achieve. Tails is exhausted from making so much fecking fuss at being kept out of the way. Sparks had the right idea and slept through it all under our bed. Pics show the lobby between the kitchen and the util…

At this year’s French Open, the air is particularly thick with tension.
After a tournament of shocks and upsets, only five top-10 seeds and one Grand Slam champion are left across the men’s and women’s draws.
The stakes always get higher deeper into a tournament, but the openness of this year’s draw further complicates matters.
Lower-ranked players are facing unusual situations with less formidable foes in their way,
and with that comes expectation.
A less forebo…

English alt text:
An overhead black‑and‑white view of an outdoor basketball court next to a curved road. The court has clear boundary lines and two hoops. A single person walks near the court, casting a long shadow due to low‑angle sunlight. Tall light poles also cast long shadows across the ground. Trees surround part of the area, adding texture to the scene.

A black‑and‑white cityscape showing many high‑rise buildings clustered together in the foreground and middle distance.

A dark wooden floor seen from above, with a narrow diagonal beam of bright light cutting across the surface from the lower left to the upper right.

No objects or people are present.

Snow surveys taking place across the American west this week are offering a grim prognosis,
after a historically warm winter and searing March temperatures left the critical snowpack at record-low levels across the region.
Experts warned that even as the heat begins to subside, the stunning pace of melt-off over the past month has left key basins in uncharted territory for the dry seasons ahead.
Though there’s still potential for more snow in the forecast, experts said it wi…

Offseason checklist for all 32 NFL teams: What did the draft cross off and what's left to do? nfl.com/news/offseason-checkli

Blake could barely make a living illustrating other people’s work, and it left no time for his own art.
He yearned for a different technique that could achieve the same result in less time and with less toil.
No such technique existed.
So he invented it.
Rather than cut the shapes onto the plates with his sharp steel burin, he painted directly onto the copper with a quill or brush dipped in acid-resistant varnish, then bathed the plates in acid, which stripped a layer …

Let’s say you’re diagnosed with a terminal illness, and your doctor gives you a time frame:
five years, two years, six months to live.
What would you do next?
Perhaps you get your affairs in order,
spend as much time as you can with loved ones,
or tackle a bucket list (as your health permits).
What happens, then, when the estimated end date comes and goes?
Bruce Deachman speaks with people who have experienced exactly this:
people who are …

The neoconservatives,
who dominated the Pentagon and the White House after 9/11
believed the US could use force to remake the Middle East,
and their project left us with two enduring concepts that still shape American military power and politics today:
creative chaos and strategic deception.
These are the intellectual doctrines of neoconservatism,
an ideology that bears constant re-examination.
