Mean St. Gallery opened in Over-The-Rhine last May and I just found out about ’em.
The most recent show with Brendan Schindler and Marissa Lyons was about to close so I made a mental note to visit. I saw a bit online and there was this Big Daddy’s piece that tickled my fancy.
Met up with Kathryn, did some wandering about and popped into the gallery. Lo and behold, there it was with no indication it was sold. “So this is available?” I asked.
Indeed it was so I swooped in. I’ve bought art before oodles of times, but don’t recall experiencing the placement of a red dot sticker.
Picked up the piece today, it’s heavy but came with a cleat for securing to a wall. Now to find a place to hang it!

To celebrate their birthday and March’s theme of perspective, Creative Mornings Cincinnati had a get together mixed with music, musings and recollections from the audience.
Things kicked off with the reading of the manifesto and a quick intro of the My Life, My Story program at the VA, where volunteers capture stories of vets to share with health care providers, friends and family.
Lydia Shae was next, performing three songs written from different perspectives. Her stripped down set was delightful and increasingly poignant. I had goosebumps by the end when with a song about her grandfather and borrowed time.
I was up next and my talk was intended to weave a thread from our chapters’ first year when I spoke (at length) with some perspectives to the present day.
I don’t think there will be a video, but I will cobble something together to capture the beats.
I truly think everyone should force themselves to stand in front of others and share something from the heart. It is terrifying, but lends a tremendous amount of clarity to what we hold most dear.
Here’s my last slide that captures the vignettes of thought (a few of these were separate talks through the years). I seriously will expand on each before too long.
Afterward there were some hugs, high fives and excellent conversations with folks. I’m reminded of how strong and awesome our local community is at Creative Mornings.
I wandered downtown for a short spell with relief, full of gratitude.
(Thanks to Kay for the featured image, there are a handful of good ones on the CM/Cin instagram account.)

Followed up on my yearly physical with some bloodwork to get a full picture of things. Celebrated by having lunch at Red Lobster because I had been fasting and was really craving a cheddar biscuit. Good thing I did this after the test as I am certain it would not have helped triglycerides.
I chose steamed broccoli as my side to balance things out.
Unrelated, today’s song is best experienced first on Youtube. Total bop.

@jer @chrisg I have just seen @selea recommending #keydb too.

Heather came in town to say goodbye to a dear family friend. We were happy to host her as she spent the days celebrating their life through a series of carefully planned events.
I’m reminded of the importance of getting one’s affairs in order.
We’d catch up at the end of each day. And though I’m in touch with Heather constantly and Zoom many times a week, it hits different when you’re in the same room.
Bonus photo as we passed her in the driveway returning from the Monet Experience:

The sun was shining and we had a good vantage of this years parade route through The Banks area of downtown.
Something I hadn’t noticed during previous years were the groups of families marching as clans. The Gallaghers, Brogans, Harts, Donnellons and O’Donnells to name a few. It was near endless. No clue how I missed these contingencies before.
I’ve 72 more photos from the afternoon, but if I sort through them it will take ages. Imagine a bunch of shamrocks, bagpipes, bands, dancers, Shriners, lots of smiles and a bunch of Deloreans.

19 years ago VW showed off the first concept for a reimagined Microbus. Road & Track has a great rundown of that revival with all the other concepts that followed over the years.
As long as I can remember I’ve dreamed of owning a VW bus… Traveling with laptop and camera, capturing the world, experiencing new places, visiting friends old and new.
Now that this electric ID. Buzz will soon be hitting dealership lots, I’m less gung-ho. Electric vehicles aren’t suited for road trips. I like having a toilet. And worst of all those horrible capacitive controls VW has been introducing (and subsequently phasing out).
But still, I gasped when rounding the bend and saw one IRL at the auto show.
It’s CHONKY. (It is a minivan after all.)
But it also has a vibe.
I’m starting to wonder… Once the infrastructure builds out, there are bound to be toilets near all those charging stations…
The rest of the auto show was filled with manufacturers chasing the SCREENS EVERYWHERE approach and it’s just so tiresome and unsafe.
Second best thing on the floor: The Hyundai Santa Fe update looks intriguing in its Land Rover Defender disguise.
Worst in show? The Nissan ARIYA climate “controls.”

Of all the made up celebrations for any given day (there are many), I’m happy give a nod to Mario on this March 10th.
Super Mario Bros. on the Nintendo Entertainment System still stands as the my most joyous introduction to computer interaction. Consoles prior to the NES were good, but the tight controls on display with this launch title were a whole new level.
I’ve savored every mainline Mario title since the 8-bit days with few exceptions (this excludes sports, party and third party titles). Yoshi’s Island didn’t entirely click with me and Super Mario Sunshine’s water gun mechanic was weird, but other than that? Big fan!
I’m currently playing Mario vs. Donkey Kong for the Switch. Though not a mainline game, it’s a fun platform puzzler — not quite Captain Toad Treasure Tracker good, but entertaining for short bouts.
I look forward to the next 3D adventure but will likely need to wait for the next generation of machine.

Seems like the past five years I’ve been involved with clients that put on a big todo for Mobile World Congress, an annual event in Barcelona where mobile tech companies converge to show their latest wares.
My involvement has spanned booth design, graphics, video editing, animation and always oodles of Powerpoint slides — slides with hundreds of different master templates. (I wonder when Microsoft will retire this nomenclature.)
So for the past months, weeks, weekend I’ve been switching hats and getting things handled with a team of folks. Today was all about getting another cut of the video that will loop on screens throughout the very large booth. (It’s two stories tall and has meeting rooms.)
Didn’t get out for much of a photo, so here’s the rendering screen of After Effects. I quite enjoy this moment in the process as rendering takes a while and allows for a break!

RT @chrisgloverndp: Ford's Ministers keep making up reasons to justify the #ServiceOntario scandal.
Maybe they should just tell the truth… https://twitter.com/OntarioNDP/status/1760796266122850570

There I was back at the dentist. This, the first of many future visits to fix a litany of issues.
I was beyond nervous, on the verge of a panic attack, and wondering if I’d have to tap out (before anything even began.)
I stared at the monitor attached to the ceiling — it was running some version of Windows.
I recalled seeing a behind-the-scenes video about the creation of the desktop image.
What looked like computer graphics was actually an elaborate production based in reality. Led by GMUNK, a team of 24 used lasers and smoke and a real cut out of the Windows logo to create the image (and some really excellent variants you can peruse on the Wikipedia page).
So there I am imagining myself in that room, amidst the smoke and lasers trying to be helpful while not being present in my current reality.
Then the monitor switched to an X-ray of my teeth.
I mentally stayed in that room with the smoke and lasers for as long as I could, and would return as often as my mind would allow.
The procedure? Way less painful than I imagined.
With the help of some numbing agents and a most gentle Hygienist, I survived.
