Ivi makes a pie and carries it to Grandma’s house. Deer nibble on Grandma’s doorstep flowers. Nik does some impromptu computer tech support. Conversation flows.

Coke In Bottles Made Of Ice

Morning Visitors
We awoke early this morning to find that the perimeter had been penetrated. I wasn’t even able to get the camera fully to my blurry eye before the scene dissolved, so please pardon the equally-blurry movement.
Rethinking the Freeway Map
One of the cooler concepts I’ve seen for a while is the project of Peter Dunn’s StoneBrownDesign to rethink the map of the Los Angeles freeway system. The idea is to present it in terms that use a model of depicting relative times and sequencing derived from that customarily seen in subway maps. While this may not mean a great deal to those who are not familiar with Los Angeles, you can get a flavor of the approach (along with special maps of Boston and Washington, DC, among others) from the StoneBrown website, and also visit the KickStarter project initiated around the concept.
