Edited Hubble Space Telescope image of merging galaxies named the Medusa Merger.

Original caption: The galaxy pictured in this Hubble Picture of the Week has an especially evocative name: the Medusa merger. Often referred to by its somewhat drier New General Catalogue designation of NGC 4194, this was not always one entity, but two. An early galaxy consumed a smaller gas-rich system, throwing out streams of stars and dust out into space. These streams, seen rising from the top of the merger galaxy, resembles the writhing snakes that Medusa, a monster in ancient Greek mythology, famously had on her head in place of hair, lending the object its intriguing name. The legend of Medusa also held that anyone who saw her face would transform into stone. In this case, you can feast your eyes without fear on the centre of the merging galaxies, a region known as Medusa's eye. All the cool gas pooling here has triggered a burst of star formation, causing it to stand out brightly against the dark cosmic backdrop. The Medusa merger is located about 130 million light-years away in the constellation of Ursa Major (The Great Bear).

Ten laps to finish a long course: that creates some logistical challenges. Here, the breakaway of three (Marco Marcato, David O’Loughlin and Thomas Berkhout, from front to back) pass one of the last riders to enter the circuit. Unless I meet him someday, I'll never know how Number 54 rode the last bit.

I still haven't read the post-race analysis, but at the time, I thought: There's just one breakaway; this would be impossible if there were two or three. So the peloton has to make room for the breakaway if they meet. But if someone decides to attack from the peloton, in order to reach the breakaway -- what then?

As I quoted before, "Race officials allowed the leaders to go past the bunch to leave a straight fight between the three riders." I guess that ruling prevented any attacks from the peloton, in effect. The peloton certainly seemed to be taking it easy -- and the breakaway was NOT.

The three way merge tool doing a merge

Sometimes we have to free our minds to build self imposed boundaries, as beautiful as they are, to see the window of possibilities

This weekend was the annual IIDA MERGE fashion show, this year taking place at the Kimpton Sawyer Hotel in downtown Sacramento. Previously, the design competition was an all-day event; just four hours to create a themed, wearable costume, with runway show the same evening. This year, however, each team received five material sponsors and had five weeks leading up the big day to create an outfit that embodied their selected theme. The 2018 theme was Into the Wild and the ecosystem we drew was Savanna.

Our concept statement:

It is one of the most intense ecosystems on planet Earth. Some of the world’s most unique, adaptable, and resilient vegetation and wildlife have evolved to survive the harsh weather, devastating droughts, and sparse nourishment. Animals camouflage among the tall grasses and they find just enough reprieve from the heat under the few, scattered trees. Although intense, it is also beautiful. As the sun sets across these vast plains, an array of vibrant colors washes over, signaling the end of today and the beginning of tomorrow. This is the SAVANNA.

We had the honor of working with generous material sponsors including, Mannington Commercial – who provided carpet tile; Armstrong Flooring – hard surface flooring; MechoSystems – window shade fabric; Crossville – tile; and Mayer Fabrics – upholstery fabric.

The night of the event, all 12 competing teams brought their A games which made for one fierce runway show. In the end, the judges had the difficult task of selecting the winners for Best Use of Materials, Most Wearable, Best Model Attitude, and Best in Show. The patrons chose Crowd Favorite. The Architecture and Design firms were not the only winners of the night, however. The proceeds from MERGE go toward scholarships to be awarded to local, hardworking design students.

Have a couple of days to explore before I keynote at a conference here (Merging Media) so here are Day 1 collection, wandering around and taking in this great city (a sort of cross between Central Park NYC and Cannes France). Really just an early afternoon trek through Stanley Park and the city, but hopefully capture some of the essence that is this part of Canada - feeling a little connected being 1/4 French Canadian :)

Mythical Creatures was the 2016 theme for the 4th annual student fundraiser fashion show known as MERGE. Our team consisted of staff at D+B, VSP Global, Shaw Carpet, and Patcraft, and we had four hours to create a costume from raw materials given to us at the beginning.

The mythical creature we chose was a vampire and the entire costume was made from commercial interior material samples: carpet backing for the cape, decorative wall covering for the bodice, glass tile for the belt, and wall protection for the skirts.

It was held in the Tsakopoulos Library Galleria at the Sacramento Central Branch and was attended by approximately 200 people. Each year the costumes are more elaborate and technical, and we couldn't be more proud of the talented people we have here in Sacramento.

I had to re-edit this picture and re-upload it-- I noticed a problem. That's why it's here twice.

My daughter wanted to have a shot like mine. Her's was harder and the mistakes prove that. For my first attempts though they were fun.

Today we finished a large project to merge the material returned from the University of Michigan-Flint with the collections that we have at Kresge. Very happy to have this over. Also some pictures of books in the library where there is no electronic counterpart - the reason we still want to have a strong print collection - it is the core of our work in supporting the Research Mission of the Ross School of Business and the University of Michigan.
