Five years ago today, I joined Flickr.
I was writing a column for Macworld about online photo-sharing services. I so deeply fell for Flickr that I missed my deadline, thereby setting a pattern that continues to this day.
To say that the last five years have been interesting would be to make one of the bigger understatements of the last five years.
I had planned a special Flickrversary photo, but I have a deadline today, and this time, I'm not going to blow it. So I present this simple, slightly blurry moment between Sophie and Toby. Which is appropriate, since I'm not sure I'd have survived the last five years without them. Or without Flickr and the friends and inspiration I've found here.
Good weekends, everyone!

A window to a bygone era in Guthrie, Kentucky yesterday (4-19-2012). What can one get today for a nickel? As delapidated and in danger of being razed as this may appear, I understand from one of the local shopkeepers that came out to talk for a few minutes that this 1880s-vintage structure is going to be restored, sign included, and will be housing a transportation museum. More of the full sign soon... ;-)

To my esteemed cousin, Henrique Navarrez, First Mate of the EMS Gallant
Dear cousin,
I write this with eyes sore and bleary from copying, and truly, I am tempted to envy you your free and active life on the high seas. I am here penned up in a tiny academy, learning the rudiments of the science of cartography, and in my spare time doing a bit of copyist work, in return for which I bed and board gratis. The life of an academician may be a secure one, but I dearly wish that my parents will one day repent themselves of their decision and allow me to join the army - else I shall be sorely tempted to follow your example and run off to Eslandola. If I could be sure of your luck, I would do it at once.
But enough of that - I have enclosed a journal - a copy I myself have made - of the travels of a certain Father Tholeau, which I think may be of interest. See that you use it wisely however, for in fact I do not think sending it to you is quite what the academy master had in mind when he sent me with it to the copyists' room. Nevertheless, knowing your interest in anything that partakes of the marvelous, I have enclosed the copy and am sending it to you by a safe hand. May the winds always be in your sails, good cousin, and God bless you!
Signed,
Sebastian Navarrez.
( oh heck.............should have got that little crumbly thing out of there.) How come sometimes you just do not notice these things til it is too late.............LOL
This spring, our Maker Art students at the Lycée Français in Sausalito created a City of the Future together, using arts and electronics to make a model of what our world may be like in 100 years.
Their floating city is called Ghost Terraces. It is a luxury resort for rich old snobs who come there to get extra body parts, as well as mutant sharks, robot maids, human clones and alien visitors. It features futuristic wonderbox homes created by each student, as well as public spaces developed collaboratively, such as: an underwater cove, a sandy beach, an art gallery, a suspended bridge, skyscrapers and a moon hotel.
In our tenth and final class this school year, we hosted five ‘show and tells, first with other students, then with parents. Four different classes came to see the exhibit, and our students demoed for them like champs. And we had a great turnout from parents and family at 4:30pm as well. Everyone seemed to enjoy the presentations.
Through this course, students developed a range of skills, from creative expression to science and engineering (STEAM). And they created their own interactive art with simple electronics, in a playful way that makes learning more fun.
It was a real pleasure to teach this after-school course with my partner Cynthia Gilbert. Our students accomplished a lot in a short amount of time and learned many new skills, which we hope will serve them well in the future, such as collaboration, creative expression and problem-solving. And they learned to create interactive art with simple electronics, in a playful and collaborative way that makes learning more fun.
To plan our next steps, we asked students to take a quick survey about this maker art course: overall, they found the class ‘very good’; about three quarters would like to take it again; and most would recommend it to a friend. One student summed it up pretty well: ‘I learned how fun technology is.’ They also gave us some good suggestions for planning future courses.
We are very happy to see our students so engaged in this hands-on, project-based, student-driven activity. This bodes well for this educational program, and we look forward to offering more maker art courses for youth in lower and middle-schools this fall.

I accidentally deleted my photo from this day, but I had an extra from Saturday. So just know that I wasn't actually in that place yet when the events of this day happened.
Last work day before my week off! Unfortunately the trip we had planned, which we do every year, couldn't be done— the interior of the province was simply too on fire for us to drive up to Quesnel. We considered going to Victoria instead, but it's so expensive to take the car on the ferry and such a hassle to not take the car, plus Jeff was feeling like he's had no time to himself lately. So, he opted to stay home and I decided to tag along with Sarah to her family's cabin on Savary Island. Jeff and I ate cold linguine with garlic & cherry tomatoes for dinner, and I spent the evening doing some editing and laundry, finishing Goblet of Fire, and getting things together for the trip. 215/365.
I can't really play piano, but I find if I noodle around on these five black keys, it doesn't sound half bad! This is my wife's piano, and it really has a lot more keys.
Today We're Here! is brought to you by the number five.

My beaded version of a Japanese Gorintou.
Each piece of the five storey pagoda corresponds to one of the five elements.
The square = earth ring (Chirin)
The ring = water (Suirin)
The triangular ring of fire (Karin)
The reclining half moon shape = wind (Fuurin)
