the many faces of Ollie, including “yes tickle me, but i’ve got my eye on you, so don’t even think about touching my ball” and “I just want to sit here forever” and “it may be windy, but I like it” and last but not least “see that ball, go on pick it up, pick up the ball”

i was thinking about how taking physical notes has been shown to be better than digital/recorded notes, how by writing things you process meaning. telling something else to write it strips all the processing and critical thought away, and I find that terrifying.

2025-07-29T22:45:17Z

For years my partner has talked about lovingly about a nature book from her childhood: Nature Through the Seasons by Richard Adams. Well she finally tracked down a copy, and it's beautiful. The illustrations by David A. Goddard are amazing hyper detailed and done with black outlines, allowing for colored and monochrome use, truly wonderful print job.

When I get a chance I'll try and take a few high res pics, in the meantime here's some grabs from the Internet Archive copy.

2025-07-21T20:40:34Z

I see folk enjoyed the vintage folding rule. It got me thinking about the Type Gauge or Type Scale I had at college, used for measuring printed type and drawing/copy fitting layouts by hand.
I had a shonky plastic one that I had to tape back together after about a month, but it was basically like the one in the picture.
I also remember having to select a type specimen from a ring binder, select a size and calculate how much space I'd need for the copy.
Thankfully I never had to use it for real.
