Writing About My Life, Work, Creativity, and the Daily Effort to Learn, Grow, and Live Better.
In my last post I showed cartoons and manipulated photographs in response to the current atrocities happening in the Ukraine. In an attempt to locate the original of these cartoons, I resorted to TinEye.com . This revealed that most of the photographs originate from Russian websites that have been turned off, at least for now.... Continue Reading →
There's a lot of reading in the article this originated, so I have extracted just this one section. I'd call it a 'tl;dr', but it's still very long. Let’s say you go to Dave’s Cafe for your morning coffee and a little emailing before you head into the office. Dave’s a smart guy, so he’s... Continue Reading →
