Can you spot the one canary who needs some attention and the one in actual distress?
Project: Studio Two
After a significant renovation of the house, including a large addition, that has eaten up most of the last 2 years, I’ve been itching to get my new creative studio set up. Moving from my previous 80 sq ft office into the new 300 sq ft space allows me to expand, but I have an unusual goal…
◇◆◇◆◇◆◇◆◇◆◇◆◇◆◇◆◇◆◇
In this space, I need to be able to support projects in: electronics, programming, video editing, photography, painting, novel writing, music production, green screen filming, 3D printing, graphic design, and a woodworking shop. Each of those could easily fill the space, but I’m going to try to make it all work with what I’ve got.
The secret, obviously, will be adaptability and efficiency. That means: no fixed furniture, everything mobile, plenty of storage, everything storable, and with a minimum of tools and equipment for each function. And with several clean functions living in the same space as dirty functions, dust and debris management will be critical.
It sounds insane; I’m keenly aware of that. But I have a plan. Sort of. Follow along if you want to see how things shape up.

FloodBoard - Learn to See the Game-Board Like a Computer
I like puzzle games, and one that I’ve always played in a rather mindless way, just to kill time, is the one called Flood It. Or Color Flood. But whatever you call it, it’s the one with a grid of random-colored squares where you start in one corner and keep flood-filling from there in different colors until you’ve flooded the entire board. The fewer moves you make, the higher your score.
But the more I’ve played it, the more curious I’ve become. What is the optimal strategy? Should you always flood as many squares as possible, or is it sometimes better to choose a smaller move to set up a bigger play? And if so, when?
Well, I don’t like just wondering about these things - I want to know. So I wrote a version of the game to help me find out. I call it FloodBoard.
The Little Bird
If you know who Varys is, you’ll know he’s nothing without his “little birds.” They’re the ones who listen to the whispers of power and then tell him all about it.
Well, my varys needs some listeners too.
