I needed to do some proper art for Le Guin's The Left Hand of Darkness, which has shaken me so so deeply.

I’m trying to write a “quick” reference doc of in-universe common knowledge for the players in my ttrpg campaign but every time I sit down to edit, it expands by another 200 words. The section on orbital dynamics is now almost a full page. There should not be a section on orbital dynamics. Why do I have chronic terminal writer brain. H e l p

Mercedes-Benz Vision One-Eleven, 2023. A sports car study that looks to the future whilst drawing on the Mercedes concepts from the past. It is powered by lightweight and compact axial-flux electric motor technology. The car uses augmented reality so that the driver can use headset to turn the entire car into a user interface allowing you to see through the A-pillars. The design references the C-111 concepts of the late 60s and 70s

Drew some headshots of characters I've been meaning to provide some udpated art for.

Hopefully will try to do more as I descend back into the comfort of flight rising.

hacker matt

he’s honestly not sure how it started. his childhood was fine, relatively speaking - he didn’t kill anyone and when his dad beat him his meemaw took him up into the mountains to live with her. he finished school, wasn’t interested in college, just kept helping with meemaw’s chickens and b&b. he wasn’t social, but he didn’t need to be. so what if the only people he talked to were old women; at least they were nice to him.

this is how things were until matt discovered the internet. he wasn’t unfamiliar before, he just didn’t care, until one day meemaw asked him to help her set up a website. he learned how to use templates, then learned html programming, then continued to upgrade their internet connection as he discovered white-hat hacking. he took to it like a duck to water. at first just little things - testing out university back-end security, that kind of thing - then before he knew it he was subleasing a contract for the fbi to test their security. meemaw didn’t ask what he was up to until he stopped sleeping and started showing up to greet guests haggard and bedraggled, nails bitten and hair uncombed. he didn’t have the heart to tell her he’d gotten in over his head.

he’d never even heard of los santos before he got scouted for a job though. someone he thought he trusted, someone who had been giving him jobs that were darker and darker, someone who used him to cover their own ass not caring what that did to him. he didn’t understand gang politics, didn’t know the ramifications, he just knew there was a lot of money going places it shouldn’t and they weren’t doing a very good job of hiding it. he thought it was over when the job was over. when three dangerous men came for meemaw, he knew it would never be over.

you guys have terrible security, he says, unaware of the danger he’s putting himself in. he’s saved meemaw, outrun the first group after him, thinks he’s found a group that could help him with everyone else. besides, do you want help fixing that?

A month or two ago mister Matt Bragg ( @mattbraggtbh-blog ) made a fantastic land-to-sea cycle! Nobody believed in it! NOBODY BELIEVED!

A note on reading Axial 'Transverse' CT slices!

First you gotta imagine your patient standing in front of you (i.e., your left is their right)

Then... you knock 'em over

Typical Axial CT slices look 'up' the patient, cranially, from their feet towards their head!

(disclaimer: please do not actually knock your patients over)
