My career as a computer programmer/analyst gives me an occasional chance to prepare charts and graphs. There is a much an art as there is a science to preparing these; a good one should give a complete and accurate picture on its own. The most famous example of this is French mapmaker Charles Joseph Minard’s map of Napoleon’s unsuccessful campaign into Russia; it not only shows the route Napoleon’s into Russia and back, but the number of Napoleon’s troops, distance, temperature, location, and direction relative to specific dates.

Back in 2013, I thought it would be neat to take my lineup of Taurus models, and grow it into a “3-D chart” that shows the evolution of Ford cars going back to 1903, in roughly 1/64 scale.
It is hard to see the bands of color; but they represent various eras of Ford design evolution, from the Brass era and Vintage era of the Model T, through the pre- and post-World War II era; on up to the Kinetic Design era of today. The gradual shading shows that design changes did not occur overnight, but through succeeding releases of different models. My breaking up of the timeline to fit on three matts had an unexpected outcome – the first matt shows the early history of Ford cars when Henry Ford was alive, the latter the “Jellybean years”, and the one in the middle represents when Ford stopped placing its trademark blue oval on its cars, and instead used a herald and/or the F O R D name in all caps. Hence, the logos in the corner of each matt. The different rows show the rise of Ford of Europe and the Mustang, along with the various models through the years. The vertical component are the cars themselves; showing how they evolved in style and size over the years; for example, the SUVs/CUVs of today are roughly the same height as Fords prior to 1955.

What was most amazing about the project was the availability of so many models and marks. There are some I actually had to leave out because of space constraints – a 2002 Ranger by Motor Max and an EXP by Etrl, just to name two – because there simply was not enough space. There are also 15 paper models; see if you can spot all 15 of them.

Programmer Raymond Phathanavirangoon interviews Chris Chong, director of Karaoke, after the screening. Chong studied and worked in Toronto, and apparently became friends with Raymond then; he thanks the latter in the closing credits of the film.
My wife and I had the chance to meet the Pet Shop Boys when they came through Dallas, Texas, playing The Majestic Theater; very nice blokes. Their set was very theatrical and entertaining.

The Brewmaster's Cottage is a beer-themed 800-square foot tiny house built in 2016-2017 by brewmaster Teri Fehrendorfer and husband, Jon Graber, in Portland, Oregon.
*******************
▶ "The cottage can sleep 4 adults: The upstairs includes a master suite with king bed, walk-in closet, double sink bath, and a sunrise view deck. Downstairs there is a queen murphy-bed desk made by Hidden Bed of Oregon.
Our goal with the Brewmaster's Cottage was to create something Unique, Meaningful, and Beautiful. I also wanted the space to be Magical, and we have strived to build something so special you will not find a copy anywhere.
In addition to the added architectural features such as a foyer with tile floor, mini-chandelier, corbelled hop archway, and steps that double as dresser drawers; the cottage also contains two fluted pilasters, lighted box display cases over the downstairs windows containing my cobalt blue glass collection, a built-in bookcase"
...and...
"a box beam with hop lights separating the kitchen from the living room."

▶ The Brewmaster's Cottage is available to rent at Vacasa.

"is currently the Malt Innovation Center Manager for Great Western Malt where she brews and malts on pilot-sized equipment. Teri began her beer career in 1988 after a short career as a computer programmer. She attended the Siebel Institute of Brewing Technology where she was Siebel's first woman class president. She is currently an instructor for the American Brewers Guild. Teri brewed for four commercial breweries including Steelhead Brewery in Eugene, Oregon, where she was Brewmaster for 17 years. In 2007 Teri founded the Pink Boots Society while on her epic Road Brewer journey across the USA and back. She was the 2014 recipient of the Brewer's Association's Recognition Award. Teri is a Great American Beer Festival and World Beer Cup Judge, and has also judged the Australian International Beer Awards and New Zealand Beer Awards. She is a frequent technical author and conference speaker."

Pat's Pretty Pointless Python Program Produces Palindromic Primes....
And here is a version of the source code which generated the image
(with underscores representing the original's indentation):
[
def isPrime(i):
__ if 0 == i % 2: return 2 == i # ..... Evens are non-prime, except '2'
__ if 1 == i: return False # ............ Technically, 1 is not prime
__ for div in xrange(3, int( i**0.5 ) + 1, 2): # ... Check odd divisors up to my sqrt, inc.
____ if 0 == i % div: return False
__ return True
def palindromeEven(s): # ..... Mirror the full input => even-length output
__ return s + s[::-1] # ............ [::-1] means 'scan backwards, in steps of 1'
def palindromeOdd(s): # ...... Mirror the input, except its final character => odd-length output
__ return s + s[:-1][::-1] # ...... [:-1] means 'trim off the final character
def retGenPalints(): # .......... Return a generator of palindromic integers.
__ lo = 1 # ........................... Note: 'yield' returns each element of a re-entrant sequence
__ while True:
____ hi = lo * 10
____ for i in xrange(lo, hi): yield int( palindromeOdd( str(i) )) # ....... odd length
____ for i in xrange(lo, hi): yield int( palindromeEven( str(i) )) # ...... even length
____ lo = hi
def retGenPrimePalints(): # ........... Return a generator of prime palindromic integers.
__ return (n for n in retGenPalints() if isPrime(n)) # .. This is a 'generator expression'
def somePrimePalints(some): # ..... Return a list of 'some' prime palindromic integers.
__ genPrimePalints = retGenPrimePalints()
__ return list( genPrimePalints.next() for i in xrange(some) )
]
BTW: This approach is reasonably efficient, but certainly not optimal. I have another version, which runs faster, but is harder to understand.
A mysterious being. We're not exactly sure where he came from or even really what he is. But we do know that he is highly intelligent, and can explain away most anything thrown at him. He is extremely skilled in the ways of 'Geek', and quotes everything from Monty Python to Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy. The Programmer brings us knowledge of his world, along with how to fix our computers and other things, like say, get around a school's block. He is our reliable pet geek, although to others he is Pasosta, Supreme Overlord l-l4><012 (haxor). He can destroy your precious computer with a few clicks of a mouse and some typing on a keyboard.
