This building has fascinated me since my childhood days. The Bolshoi theatre in Moscow, Russia. Because of my Russian heritage and my interest in ballet this theatre never left my mind. When I stood before it in the summer of 2019, I was more than just impressed from its sight.
I chose to sketch it in the two-point perspective as required with special focus on the main building. I left out quite some details, since the main task of this section is to prove an understanding of perspective.

Found on Digg.com today. What a great example of after-the-fact design modification.
It makes me wonder what the context was. Did someone set this up for a young child or an older relative? Or did they do it for themselves?
In any case, it's a great reminder of why us user experience professionals do what we do.
For those of us in design: remember, you shouldn't build for *all* the edge cases. You shouldn't even build for most of them.
Its a Western Digital My Book Live network drive. Got it few days back to solve my data space issue ;)
The cartoon character is created with electronic parts, soldering it was really hard task.
My simplified Gnome rotary piston engine. I would loved to have work for days putting in all teh authentic mechanical detail on this - but as this project is all about avoiding complexity, I couldn't!

I made my first swoon block (lordy, they are big) and of course, I went and changed the pattern a little. In the pattern it tells you to piece the (orange) pieces. I don't like seeing a lot of unnecessary seams, so I made them into one piece. Also, I used a different method for making the flying geese to reduce waste there. I still ended up with waste overall, but I think it was reduced a little with this method. Now that this practice block is done, I can get the others figured out easier.

The Bingling Temple (simplified Chinese: 炳灵寺; traditional Chinese: 炳靈寺; pinyin: Bǐnglíng Sì) is a series of grottoes filled with Buddhist sculpture carved into natural caves and caverns in a canyon along the Yellow River. It lies just north of where the Yellow River empties into the Liujiaxia Reservoir. Administratively, the site is in Yongjing County of Linxia Hui Autonomous Prefecture in Gansu province, some 100 km (62 mi) southeast of Lanzhou.
The caves were a work in progress for more than a millennium. The first grotto was begun around 420 CE at the end of the Western Qin kingdom. Work continued and more grottoes were added during the Wei, Sui, Tang, Song, Yuan, Ming, and Qing dynasties. The style of each grotto can easily be connected to the typical artwork from its corresponding dynasty. The Bingling Temple is both stylistically and geographically a midpoint between the monumental Buddhas of Bamiyan in Afghanistan and the Buddhist Grottoes of central China, Yungang Grottoes near Datong and Longmen Grottoes near Luoyang.
Las cuevas de los Mil budas de Binglisi. Bingling significa "mil de Budas" ó "diez mil Budas" en lengua tibetana. Es uno de los complejos budistas más antiguos y una de las diez grutas más grandes de China. Gran cantidad de estatuas y frescos mostrando las diferentes culturas y vestimentas de los dioses adorados en varias épocas. Monjes y budistas,
procedentes de Asia Central a lo largo de la Ruta de la Seda, fueron estampando y tallando en cuevas naturales los ídolos de la cultura budista e india. Las grutas, talladas dentro de las montañas de arenisca roja, se encuentran a ambos lados del final del valle de Dasigou. Destaca uno buda sentado de 27 metros de altura con 1.200 años de antigüedad.
Over the centuries, earthquakes, erosion, and looters have damaged or destroyed many of the caves and the artistic treasures within. Altogether there are 183 caves, 694 stone statues, and 82 clay sculptures that remain. The relief sculpture and caves filled with buddhas and frescoes line the northern side of the canyon for about 200 meters. Each cave is like a miniature temple filled with Buddhist imagery. These caves culminate at a large natural cavern where wooden walkways precariously wind up the rock face to hidden cliff-side caves and the giant Maitreya Buddha that stands more than 27 meters, or almost 100 feet, tall.
In the Hall of Prayer / The Temple of Heaven, literally the Altar of Heaven (simplified Chinese: 天坛; traditional Chinese: 天壇; pinyin: Tiāntán; Manchu: Abkai mukdehun) is a complex of Taoist buildings situated in Beijing. The complex was visited by the Emperors of the Ming and Qing dynasties. It is regarded as a Taoist temple, although Chinese Heaven worship pre-dates Taoism.
I took this photo in July of 2011 in Zimbabwe. Recently, I learned some artistic techniques and applied them to the image to make it really pop. This one is hanging on my wall.

As far as we are aware, there are four books in the Gaskins series written by Allan Ahlberg, illustrated by Katharine McEwan:
The Man Who Wore All His Clothes
The Children Who Smelled a Rat
We've read them before and recently found three of them again at the library. This photo and the rest we have tagged with the Gaskins are meant to point out what makes us keep coming back for more: a jack-of-all-trades, maps and wayfinding, intertextuality, and ubicomp (or pervasive computing, ambient intelligence, everyware, spimes).
With the economy in the shitter I figured I should save some money and cook something delicious yet inexpensive. So I made a simplified version of the slavic classic Haluski. One medium white onion sweated, one head of cabbage softened, one pound of egg noodles, about half a stick of butter (don't panic) and salt, pepper, garlic powder, paprika and parsley flakes. Topped with light sour cream. I'll get 4 or so hearty meals out of this for about $5.
