Forensics: The First 48
Back for the second year, this clover college workshop will offer a Forensics Frenzy. The first forty‐eight hours of an investigation are key in determining the answers to the Who? What? When? Where? How? Time is very valuable and so is the information that will be provided in this session. Youth will use their investigative and problemsolving skills to solve a mock crime scene. Several detective agencies will offer opportunities to learn the methods of observing, gathering and analyzing physical evidence to solve mysteries. This hands‐on session doesn’t stop there. Come take part in a virtual visit to a local morgue and discover the secrets of the underworld. If that’s not enough, have you ever wondered how long it takes for a body to decompose? Or maybe you’ve been interested in body composition and bone structure. Well, take a peek in our Forensics Anthropology corner. This session will offer these opportunities and so much more.
Ever wonder what it’s like to be a designer at Google? During this fast-paced, highly collaborative day we explored the tools and techniques Google designers use to create some of the world’s leading products.

This is the half of the dough that I will work with today. The rest went into the freezer. The volume seems to be a little greater than .5L.
I have never worked with a dough this wet before. I am estimating this is roughly between 70%-75% hydration.
I kneaded the entire mass of dough with a wet scraper for 5 minutes or so. I saw a big difference in it's smoothness and structure in the first couple minutes. After that I didn't see it coming into the malleable kind of doughs I'm familiar with but since I wasn't making progress I divided it into 2 parts, put them both in oiled tubs, left this one at room temp and put the other one into the freezer.
I will stretch & fold this dough at 20 minute intervals over the next hour. I'm interested in how that improves the structure and texture of the unbaked dough.
We celebrated the Whole Earth Catalog’s 50th Anniversary with many of its creators on October 13, 2018, at Fort Mason in San Francisco. The event was hosted by Stewart Brand, Ryan Phelan, Danica Remy and an amazing group of volunteers, including yours truly. At the event, we presented Whole Earth Flashbacks, a video history of this innovative culture, which I produced and edited with a wonderful group of 60 community contributors. Our half-hour video played all day long in their Gray Box multimedia theater.
In the evening, we played a shorter version of the Flashbacks video at the Cowell Theatre. I'm very grateful to all our core team on this project: Matisse Enzer, Phyllis Florin, Ahmed Kabil, David Lawrence, Jim McKee, and Susan Ryan, to name but a few.
The creative minds we featured in the video all had one thing in common: they gave access to tools and ideas to help people bring their dreams to life -- and change the world together. Many thanks to all the folks who organized and participated in this event! It was a wonderful way to honor a culture that helped change the world and that may inspire many others for years to come.

Words and images are most powerful when used together. This image compares and contrasts the characteristics of both.

Forensics: The First 48
Back for the second year, this clover college workshop will offer a Forensics Frenzy. The first forty‐eight hours of an investigation are key in determining the answers to the Who? What? When? Where? How? Time is very valuable and so is the information that will be provided in this session. Youth will use their investigative and problemsolving skills to solve a mock crime scene. Several detective agencies will offer opportunities to learn the methods of observing, gathering and analyzing physical evidence to solve mysteries. This hands‐on session doesn’t stop there. Come take part in a virtual visit to a local morgue and discover the secrets of the underworld. If that’s not enough, have you ever wondered how long it takes for a body to decompose? Or maybe you’ve been interested in body composition and bone structure. Well, take a peek in our Forensics Anthropology corner. This session will offer these opportunities and so much more.

Opus is the husband of Alex, the saki monkey in the photo above. Here, the male saki is rooting through a plastic Jack-o-Lantern, looking for a vegetable that the staff hid for him. The system is called "enrichment." Zoo staff provide a changing environment for animals, often requiring them to solve simple puzzles.
Other times, enrichment may simply involve the appearance of a new object in the environment.
For me, enrichment would involve some time off! LOL

Our son Adam Florin gave a fascinating talk about generative music at Algorithmic Art Assembly, hosted by Gray Area Art + Technology. He started with a quick demo of Patter, his music composition software, then took us on an illuminating journey through the many people and ideas which inspired him to create his cool freeform generative sequencer.
Brian Eno, who coined the phrase “generative music”, recently likened it to gardening -- but the material practice is just as much rooted in centuries of formal aesthetics, predictive statistics and industrial automation. How can we negotiate the tension between organic and and the mechanical in the algorithmic arts?
Adam has created some amazing digital tools and art exhibits in that space. It was great to hear what he's learned in this fascinating field, exploring the intersection of human and machine creativity. And to top it off, he gave this talk on his birthday, which was the best present of all!

Another contribution I made was to loan my 6-foot Earth Ball for the public event at the Cowell Theatre that evening. Kudos to my friends Matisse Enzer, Adam and Phyllis Florin, and Jim McKee for helping set up that Earth ball, which added a lot to the scene. The creative minds in attendance all had one thing in common: they gave access to tools and ideas to help people bring their dreams to life -- and change the world together.

I drilled a hole in my workbench, 1/2" in diameter. Five years ago I broke this lamp, and put it away intending to fix it 'later'; now five years later, I still haven't fixed the lamp — but I have a workbench in the basement that needs more light. So, I drill a hole, put the pin of the 'broken' lamp in the hole, and voila! Light at the workbench.
