Madeline drew this for me… we’re not sure when, maybe a few years ago, but we just found it in a stack of papers, and she asked me to “save it” so I told her I would save a digital copy of it. So here it is. (P.S. It’s a cat.)

Today I had waffles for lunch. They were delicious! Waffles aren’t just for breakfast, they’re good any time of the day!
In other news, I attended coworking at Bucketworks last night with Ashe Dryden. After the RubyMKE Meetup Matt Gauger stopped by and donated some equipment for the latest Time Lapse Bot upgrade. Patrick Schley also showed up and talked about plays and juggling.
The sad part is, all the work I did at coworking ended up getting reverted today, as the upgrade to RoundCube failed. That’s ok… I’m sure I’ll try again!

No one knew what they were thinking, or more appropriately, what they were calculating. A dozen robots fell from the sky. They couldn’t fly. They had no jet-packs, or hover mechanism, or anti-gravity generators. It was like some robot lemmings game gone terribly wrong. Luckily, no humans were harmed, but the Robot Investigation Unit has still not discovered the motives behind this strange occurrence. Still, the question remains… who programmed these robots to do what they did?

This drawing was inspired by the old phrase “Pioneers get the arrows, settlers get the land” which is mainly used to describe early adopters, who are the first ones to try something new, thus paving the way for others to follow, but ultimately getting “hurt” along the way. (Either by paying too much, or failing at something, or whatever.)
When I was younger I used to see this conflict between art and design. I believed that art was something you created for yourself, while design was something you created for someone else.
Over the years I’ve probably given up a bit on that belief, and I certainly know that there are blurry bits in-between and things cross over into both domains… Still, it’s something I’ve never really gotten a handle on as far as being able to fully articulate it.
I’ve never really discussed this idea with others, but would love to hear what others think about art, design and how they relate (or don’t relate) to each other…

Back in the early 1990’s (pre-WWW) I came up with a concept for an animated series called “Tuff Tacos!” (or possibly “Tough Tacos!”) which featured a gang of hard-shell tacos who dressed like cowboys but rode motorcycles. They got into some sort of adventures, probably in an Old West setting. There was also a soft-shell taco who rode a scooter. He was sort of the wimpy member of the gang.
I never did anything with the concept, so here’s a crappy drawing I made today. Also, there are other Tuff Tacos out there, arguably much better.
