  1. I made a short URL so I could get to the Milwaukee County Vehicle Crash Dashboard easily...

  2. Its been so nice to be at VAR gallery teaching in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. The class sizes have been small, students have been amazing and in the mornings and evenings I have had time to work on projects that have been on hold for months

    One of those projects is a vibe coded website- sphere.glass.rodeo/ that does all the math to help me make 3D neon spring spheres and ovals in any size. I tested it last night with Lavender - a pretty out of production color my friend Steph brought from a shop in New Orleans. Future improvements include making the heat distance inches display in 1/16th rounded fractions (with centimetres option), an image overlay so I could make a 3D globe neon, and reworking the rendering that happens on device to make the site more responsive.
    I also played around with scraps of color and make a fun doodle. VAR has been a friendly Midwest, US. Art Oasis, with a friendly, energetic art community around it.

  3. Summer in #Milwaukee is second to none but January and February is really brutal. I'm not looking forward to this weather ending.

  4. I took a lunchtime bike ride instead of a walk today

  5. I continue on my way and get to a road with construction that has traffic down to 2 lanes shifted over some parking lines but clearly marked.

    There are 2 cars in front of me, the first one goes to the left lane which has oncoming traffic 2 blocks away, the second car follows. I brake to let them both back in but they don't switch back in until they almost hit other cars.

    It hasn't even been 10 minutes since I left my house.

  6. I swear I don't understand this world anymore...

    I'm running an errand as I head into work. Stopped a stop light two cars pulled up next to me in the left turn lane. The car in the back taps the other one. Then do it again. I blurted out "what are you doing?!" And they give me a dirty look. The front car then runs the red light and so does the other car. 2 blocks later they get to another red light, the same thing happens but they turn left this time and I go straight.

  7. The City of Milwaukee has a web site they use for construction updates. Here's the page for Lisbon Avenue.

    engage.milwaukee.gov/lisbon

    They actually used to have the domain lisbonavenue [dot] org but let it expire...

    It's a shame I didn't grab it. It's spam now.

  8. Because of a river, railroad tracks, freeway, and cemetery, this might be the most direct path for me to bike to work.

    Some of it is separated bike lane, some is multi-use path, some is residential streets, and some is terrible roads with speeding cars.

  9. Wowza I have been busy! When it rains it pours- which is nice as I was starting to feel a little restless with all the vacationing I had been doing.
    Getting out of the NYC to teach two short neon classes at VAR gallery in Milwaukee has been just the breather I have needed. Gosh the midwest is a nice refresher!
    All the work has been fun- I am again filling in at the famous Let There Be Neon shop (now in Sunset park) and they have been giving me a bunch of fun things to bend in neat colors, fonts and designs I wouldn't normally use. There are numerous projects for artists and companies an things going on too. It sure is nice to be busy. One day I will have time again for my own projects :)

  10. So close! I was able to ride the new (separated) bike lane along Lisbon Avenue in Milwaukee this morning.

    Of course *getting to it* is not easy. IT starts at Lisbon & Burleigh which is a really crappy intersection. I rode side streets up to 74th and then crossed Burleigh to get to Lisbon.

    Not ideal, but it's doable. Sad because I live a half block from Lisbon but two more blocks before the bike lane starts.
