Uly Pupdate: Summer 2025
He's now a year and a half old, and we've had a significant summer! Uly got fixed in June, and as is common in large breeds, he also underwent a gastropexy to prevent GDV. As a result, the beginning of the summer was a bit slow. We did get him a little suit to keep him from picking at his sutures, and as a benefit, it made him look like a little man from the turn of the century, about to go for a swim and an egg cream at the beach.

For a while now, Kari-Lise and I have spent any free time hard at work building out a patio/gazebo/outdoor cooking space/chef's garden that I am calling our Smoker Paddock.

Business cards, yes! Manuscript, no! Also "networking" is just about getting to meet people! Tell people about your work if they ask! Keep it really short if they do! If they don't bring it up, just be a cool human they can know! If an agent/editor says "send me work," do it when you get home!

Creativity Within Stillness
When we moved to the island, Uly was still a young puppy. So, when I began taking him for walks around the area, I usually found myself going without earbuds or headphones. Initially, I did this so I could listen for approaching vehicles, other dogs, mountain bikers, or general hazards a big, silly puppy might be oblivious to. However, as time passed, I found myself increasingly relishing those moments of mental stillness.

A Flower Post
Spring is in full swing here in the PNW, and the flowers of our garden are popping off! So I figured I'd share some photos of the blooms around the place. Many of these had died back by the time we moved into the place, so it's been lovely to experience them in person. Most of these came with the property; only the cosmos and the pink rose have been planted by us, but they're just the start. There's much more to come over the next few years.

Müller: A Free 18th Century Cartography Brush Set for Fantasy Maps
In the early 18th century, Holy Roman Emperor Charles VI charged Johann Christoph Müller to produce an "authentic and complete" map of the kingdom of Bohemia. Being no slouch, Müller's end result was a massive work, done at a 1:132,000 scale and eventually engraved on twenty-five sheets by Michael Kauffer and Jan Daniel Herz, most likely in Berlin. It is from that map that we get today's set, and what a phenomenal set it is—and, uh...

How everything became AI slop
I don't always share many videos here, but I thought this Tunnel Vision video was poignant. I'm grateful I'm off most social media now because, as the video goes into, those services are designed to promote this garbage. Media literacy has faltered globally, but it's collapsed in the US, where we've commodified algorithms to serve the god of shareholder profits, and it's beneficial for corporations like Meta, Google, and TikTok to keep users engaged no matter the cost.
