  1. Trumpet update: I've now had three lessons, and yesterday my teacher also gave me the book he used to use for beginners, and it's super. I can play whole notes from the A below middle-C and up to the C above middle-C.

    Yesterday I learnt B-flat.

    Teacher: So now you know your first flat!

    Me: Yes! And it's B-flat, which is my favourite flat.

    Teacher: ...is it?

    It then occurred to me that not everyone has favourite flats? Surely that's not the case!

  2. Two minis I did in class today. I love it that students aren't painting the same photo; in fact we are not even looking at a photo.

  3. Gouache fun continues. Only three colors (red, yellow, blue) and white are used in these, and color mixing magic fascinates me; I don't have that luxury with pastel. They are both supposed to be more gray, but when I try they come out in greens or violets. Richard K. Blades (on Instagram) is a great teacher.

  4. I’m attempting #AdventOfCode this year! 🎄✨ To make things even more challenging (and fun?), I’m tackling it in a new language. Feels a bit like being back in school 🧑‍💻 #AdventOfCode2024 #LearningNewThings

  5. In other news, logic analyzer probes finally arrived for this thing: amazon.com/dp/B077LSG5P2.

  6. Just got hit with a wave of boredom, so I've decided to embark on a new coding adventure! 🚀 "Learning #LUA"

    I just hope I don't regret it 😅

  7. @chrisshaw @RickiTarr But that will be a choice for individual admins. And if I really don't like what my instance is doing (unlikely in my own case), I can always set up my own instance. And that would, of itself, be a learning experience, which is always a good thing.

  8. We just found an estate sale and bought a lathe, a scroll saw, and a workbench for stupid cheap. #woodworking #learningnewthings

  9. Hello friends 👋
