Snow day, yay I get to read a book and play hooky from work! Enjoying D.O.D.O. very much so far, I think N.S.’s penchant for superfluous tangents is reigned in cleverly by working with a coauthor, especially one as good as Galland

The Cat In The Center Of The Universe

"In The Air", 1995. Having fun at boarding school and one of my favorite shots. This guy is now a brain surgeon!

I've been working some more on my Montana Lego topography model and even as someone who specializes in fine and tedious work this one is a little ridiculous, and I haven't even gotten to the tough parts.

Hey I made some more puzzles! 16 of them for this month! They are now available here: chrisyates.net/collections/...

Why do I keep making things? Because I really enjoy making things. It takes a lot of patience and practice to make good things, but that work and the process are often even more rewarding than the finished thing. Shortcuts to instant “creativity” aren’t ever going to replace the experience of making

Here are some ghost and slug wooden puzzles I have recently made with my own hands! They are lonely and need nice loving homes. The adoption center is located here: chrisyates.net

Finally watched the Eddie Murphy doc, it's fine, but they really dodged the big question about his feelings about his 1982 hit single "Boogie In Your Butt" and its lasting cultural ramifications www.youtube.com/watch?v=LOgX...

I'd very much like to see @anginedepoitrine.bsky.social appear as guests on The Muppet Show. And Beaker should try out for the band!

Every so often I think about the crappy house I rented in West Denver in '02, solely because the address was 1420 Yates Street. The plumbing was super janky, but when you flushed the toilet it sounded almost exactly like the first two seconds of the orchestra stab of the ST:TNG theme. Good times.
