I am supposed to be promoting our show on Saturday. Don't know why but I'm just not feeling talkative or creative this week. Add to that three more shows coming up in three weeks. It's daunting (for me).

It might be the multiple spots to post on. Off the top of my head, I can think of at least nine places that I need to post show info.

Not posting is not an option so I am trying to brainstorm a way that will make doing all this feel like more magical. Clearly some sort of automation is needed.

A tomato seed from our veranda compost bucket is going crazy. We now, unintentionally, have a two foot tall, healthy tomato plant growing in our apartment.

If you touch it, your hands smell like tomato. It's starting to flower so next is hopefully a tomato.

The power of compost.

I was thinking about what is the one sentence I would use to summarize January 2024 while watching bands at a show last night. This drum pattern kept coming up in my mind:

R L Both Both

This simple drum pattern blew my mind in January. It's a runway to get off the ground and reach other drum patterns.

Once a week I am visiting designmanifestos.org and reading a design manifesto. They are very inspiring so it's hard to resist temptation to go through a lot of them each visit.

All things on Fake is the New Real are amazing. Hard to choose just one to recommend. It's full of wonderful maps, calendars, and twitter bots.
