My girlfriend left sticky notes all over my apartment for me to find. Some of them are nice, but some are just mean.
The pages of my Field Notes notebook are coming loose at the staples. Time to switch to a new one, I guess. I think I have some new blank notebooks around here somewhere.

The Zebra F-701 fine-point pen isn't my favorite to write with, but I've never had one leak in my pocket, which has been an issue with gel and roller ball pens.
.
I needed some working-on-stuff trousers. Several of the belt loops on my inexpensive denim jeans are broken and the knees are worn through. I thought I'd try a pair of Wrangler "carpenter pants."

After nearly a month of daily wear, the Seestern DOX01 wristwatch is proving to be an adequate "tool watch."

Amusing comment I read online today, specifically about pocket notebooks but applicable to pretty much any "boutique" product:
"'You haven't heard of it and they're impossible to get' died out with the hipsters in 2019."
I set the students the challenge of taking a photo of their classrooms while they are on their Induction Block placement. They have to place notes on the photo to highlight interesting features. What notes would you place on this photo?
Note: This is not my collection, but rather a user named 'Shawn' who used to have a Flickr account by the user name 'accurate cobweb'. Sadly he was only active for a while before he deleted his account. Luckily, I had saved all his images!
Note the step - the sheet metal dropouts on this old Gillott are much narrower than the derailleur hanger body. I'll build this back up with some stainless sheet metal, and cut and file it to match the curvature of this elegant dropout
Things of beauty.
I often forget the small things that inspire me. One of them is old currency. I have a small collection. These are pre Bolshevik revolution Rubles. The further back you go in time, you can literally see why we call these things "bank notes". They literally used to be these huge notes from a bank saying "yeah, we agree to pay blah blah X amount".
The artistry and style that goes into these things is amazing. And even better, you can pick up these little bits of history really quite cheaply from a bunch of places.

The Irish (or Scottish) Wooden Flute differs from the Western Concert Flute in not only being made of wood rather than metal, but also in adopting a simpler key system.
Wooden Flutes are assigned the number 421.121.12 in the Hornbostel-Sachs classification of musical instruments ( en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hornbostel-Sachs ), indicating:
4 = Aerophones. Sound is primarily produced by vibrating air. The instrument itself does not vibrate, and there are no vibrating strings or membranes.
42 = Non-Free Aerophones. The vibrating air is contained within the instrument.
421 = Edge-Blown Flutes. A narrow stream of air is directed against an edge.
421.1 = Flutes without a Duct. The player makes a ribbon-shaped flow of air with his lips.
421.12 = Side-Blown Flutes. The player blows against the sharp rim of a hole in the side of the tube.
421.121 = Single Side-Blown Flutes.
421.121.1 = Open Side-Blown Flutes.
421.121.12 = With Fingerholes.
My Death Note came without shoes. I contacted another DN owner here and her doll was without shoes also.
Dominatrix garb with a weird doll.... I guess I find the combination strange not the doll itself.
My husband makes my lunch because I am lazy. He usually puts a note in it. I have these taped over 1/3 of my cubicle wall at work.

This is the final image in this series, and we end on a real low note: Bridgegate House (the building which North Ayrshire Council and Irvine Bay Regeneration Company are spending almost £9m on at the moment, with the sole object of making it even more ugly). If you look at the top left of the photo collage, you can see the architects' drawing of the view of the West side of the High Street. Now you don't need to be a design genius to see that, for the heart of a Scottish Medieval Burgh, there is something far wrong with this design: if you look at the older buildings on either side of BH, you will see they have all developed from pretty narrow plots (this is because the buildings are built on old field patterns, a system called 'riggs', unique to Scotland; these narrow fields were designed to ensure that good and bad soil were divided evenly between farmers). The result of this field division system is that old Scottish towns have a very distinctive 'rhythm' - the buildings may vary in height, but their width does not vary very dramatically (in the case of the King's Arms, this is obviously built across 2 riggs). The idea of 'street rhythm' is set out in the Academy of Imagineering's guide to looking at historic areas, 'Streetsight'; you can download this booklet for free by using the link given at the end of this article.
The High Street side of Bridgegate House is built over three double-rigg plots. The result of this is that the High Street has lost its former rhythm and it looks like someone has 'knocked out three front teeth '. If you look at the photo of the model (bottom right), you get some idea of how far BH is out of scale with the buildings on the South side of Bridgegate. In ai's Streetsight booklet this would be described as an 'overpowering contrast'; which is OK if the building is magnificent, like a fine cathedral, impressive town hall or wonderful theatre. However, nobody in their right mind would use the words 'fine', 'impressive' or 'wonderful' to describe Bridgegate House!
So we have seen, over the last seven weeks, how badly IDC got some things wrong (in the coming months, we will give due attention to what they got right, mainly from the period 1977-96, including some innovative and popular housing developments). It is a pity, with their current proposals for the town, that neither NAC nor Irvine Bay Regeneration Company appear to have learned anything from the mistakes of IDC's 1971 New Town Plan.

I put this shot together for my wife's guitar she had custom made by Chris Williams. 85mm lens at f1.8 with a hand cut music note stencil placed over it to create shaped bokeh with Christmas lights background. Guitar was painted with a flashlight for 5 seconds during an intentional overexposed 25sec for added background color.
