Sinister
During the month of August I will be participating in Blaugust, a month long blogging challenge. Todys TDC just says: Show us something sinister. Most of my study is sinister, as I am left handed.

Gargoyle with Cone
During the month of August I will be participating in Blaugust, a month long blogging challenge. Today’s TDC says: The Duke of Wellington statue stands outside GoMA, and is a Glasgow icon. He usually has one cone on his head, sometimes more. Recently it’s being taken to ridiculous extremes, and some people are not happy about it. And – worse – our trend has spread to Edinburgh, and they are horrified. Find a statue, or a photo of one, and decorate it with a traffic […]

Centred Pentagonal Number Art
During the month of August I will be participating in Blaugust, a month long blogging challenge. Today’s TDC says: I love numbers, so today I learned that 106 is a centred pentagonal number! If you draw a star made of five equal branches, each branch made of zero or more blocks, and one block at the centre, then the number of blocks will be such a number. Make some art based on this thought First I took a screen shot of […]

Virtual Communities – Hip Hip Corner
During the month of August I will be participating in Blaugust, a month long blogging challenge. Today’s TDC says: The Virtual Community Center is a database of, well, virtual communities.

The Bernard Pivot Questionnaire: Ten Small Windows into My Damaged Soul
This blog post is the result of a conversation in the blaugust discord about using GenAI to make it look as if it was not generated by AI. I took a post I had already written and asked ChatGPT to rewrite it in the style of Frankie Boyle. You can see my prompts here. Posting without comment During August, I’m taking part in Blaugust, a month-long blogging challenge: thirty-one days of attempting to convert the vague electrical activity in my […]
