I've been dealing with a bot net attacking our website. I've started using Cloudflare while we figure out what to do to keep the site up. I want to make art not handle website disasters.

We visited the Museum of the Earth and saw an exhibit of glass sea creatures made by the Blaschkas: jellyfish, sea slugs, octopuses, hydrozoans, worms, anemones, and more

I’m kind of amazed we can print this. We took one of our radiolarian models and made it into a cellular mesh. Kind of like a fractal radiolarian

I guess if I get a more expensive one I have some obligation to turn into a work project.

One thing I appreciate about growing older is that I can reread books I enjoyed and I don’t remember anything about them. And if I want to reread a series, all of the books are already out. I don’t have to wait for the next one

You may have noticed that food prices are going up but it's not just food prices. It's everything: materials, shipping, insurance, suppliers that we used to depend on going out of business. the constant instability of tariffs and just in general people aren't spending money on nonessential items like art, jewelry and jigsaw puzzles.

Every time someone asks me how things are going I have to explain that small businesses are doing terrible across the board. Many of us have sales that are only 20% of what we normally do. It seems like a lot of people are completely oblivious to the fact that the economy is doing very poorly.

Oh! After testing all the cables it turns out it’s our POE injectors that are making things slow. Looks like I ordered the wrong injectors “standard” vs gigabit

Thanks for all the advice! I went with the nanostation locos for now. The total cost is less than one month of internet fees. I figure we do this for now and if it’s not satisfactory we can pursue trenching later

I’m paying for Internet at my house and at my studio which are like less than 300 feet apart. What sort of wireless device should I be looking at to share Internet between the two buildings? A lot of things I’m seeing like the nanobeam are for larger distances.
