I did not expect a tour of my son’s middle school to apply directly to my favorite project at work, but here we are.

Just a part of an ongoing sketchnote I thought I'd share.

It wasn't for a tight layover, because we saw her several times just lounging and across our long layover. Best we can figure is she just had a psychological pressure to get off the plane and other passengers be damned.

We asked the concierge what was nearby with vegetarian options and across the street was some of the best food I've had the pleasure of eating. If you'll pardon the pretense, the chef knew how to think in vegetables as well as they did meats. And watching golden hour come and go was the perfect sauce.

Happy mothering day to you, everyone you mother, and everyone who mothers you.

It’s small and pedantic and arguably sour grapes, but thinking through the difference between “agentive”—the word I established in 2017 for agent-related design—and the more recent “agentic” word for the same thing, I note that “agent” is Latin in origin, so it’s a better fit for “-ive”, which is also Latin, rather than “-ic” which is Greek.

Festive not festic.
Geographic not geographive.
Agentive not agentic.

I just heard an advertisement for the Monopoly app that encouraged users to “begin their billionaire journey" and I could literally feel Elizabeth Magie rolling furiously in her grave. I can't imagine a greater betrayal of the intent of her invention.

My usual interest in sortilege and Tarot is semiotic, but the interaction design on https://moonlight.world/ is notable, awesome, and worth sharing.

Noodling on ideas for SF Design Week, I made a thing.

Fate TTRPG idea:

Scene-setting should include a handful of situational Boosts.

Any character can use them, including NPCs. When they are gone they are gone.

This encourages leveraging the environment early in the scene to get things rolling.

@Miniver List some examples?

@Miniver 100% awesome. In Primetime Adventures I'd write narrative tropes on slips of paper, fold them in half, and label them with the boon on the outside. So when a character wanted to, say, reroll something, they could take the reroll boon, but had to work the trope into the narrative, e.g. “Then a character remembered something.” or ”10 fan mail / voice a Hard Aesop lesson applying to the current scene” etc.

@Miniver also love the idea of a steam and sparks factory, as if there was an industrial-scale demand for bags of steam and buckets of sparks.

@Miniver I am reminded of one of my favorite scenes in the original Alien movie where after Ripley leaves, Parker turns off the valve he and Brett have deliberately opened to make talking more difficult.

When the winds picked up, my husband spirited me off to the Wind Harp Tower in Sourh San Francisco to make some field recordings. He had a good mic with a wind guard—my recordings were way too scratchy with noise. But I did get some good pictures.

@Ultramundane where can we get the recordings to pair with these?

@Ultramundane Have I ever shared Alan Lamb’s Night Passage? Part 1 is found sound of power lines, Part 2 is a remix/reconstruction of the same. https://youtu.be/WnlNbb8eric?si=YDMDotDzZ-XA9cGz
