I am making an oil painting/tapestry that is a self portrait of my hands weaving the tapestry. It's not done yet but I'm pleased with how it is shaping up. I call it the metapestry because it is meta tapestry and also a me tapestry.

Hand pics of me at an old timey hologram(?) show. There was a film reel projecting three dimensional shapes onto a fog cloud. So naturally my hands are playing in the light.

Okay, sure. Hand picture. I have a three-inch scar at the base from when they had to put my hand joints back into my wrist joints after I crashed a dogsled. (Long story). But I got a titanium plate in my hand about it, and I ping metal detectors now. Worth it.

1. Buy three phone chargers: one each for home, work, and travel 2. Use a password manager if you don't already. Share the master password with someone you trust in case of emergency 3. Schedule a reblog of this post for a year from now, when people will have fresh ideas

Charger thing is sensible. I guess I should use probably use a password manager, it feels spookily eggs-in-basketty though, but then I don't actually know the first thing about it. I don't think I have anyone it wouldn't be weird to give my password to. The reblog for next year is now scheduled!

Get a salt grinder, not a salt shaker. Bigger crunchier pieces of salt on food, especially on eggs, adds to the overall experience If you haven't had it before, bread machine bread is better quality than you might think. And you can load the ingredients before going to work and set a timer so that the bread is done and warm when you get home I recommend keeping a carabiner of useful things clipped to your keys. I keep bus fare, painkillers, instant coffee, and Gatorade powder clipped to my house keys, so if I'm out of the house I have the essentials no matter what You can grow green onions in a pot on your windowsill by planting the ends of grocery store green onions in soil Dried mushrooms are good in instant ramen. And they rehydrate while the ramen cooks Download songs from youtube and such using cobalt.tools. it's my favorite mp3 maker

This is a lot and sadly I can't use most of it I don't think!

salt grinder, I will try

bread machine, my home is extremely poor-in-space and my kitchen has no room for inessential medium-sized objects. possibly in the future when I have become prosperous

carabiner, I could maybe be convinced but idk what I'd put on it and your list of objects doesn't tempt me (currently I keep my keys inside my wallet which is probably unsafe but ehhh)

I'm not much of a green onion user and I'm skeptical that much of anything would grow in my frosted kitchen window that gets very little sun

dried mushrooms sounds good

I have no use for mp3s I don't think

@medlinka:

When cornering on a mountain bike, brake before the corner, look through the turn, and shift your weight to the outside. This is good advice that I’ve used a lot in the past several years.

Ok, sure. Here's a recent portrait of my brother in his natural habitat.
