LOCAL: Flew a bit. Drew a bit. Walked a bit. Weather feels like Florida. We possibly had a tornado touch down. Downed trees. Every year this seems to happen in June, a fierce squall or another with 70-80 mph gusts seems awful tornadoesque. Some people have been without power for a few days. Getting ready to paint tomorrow. My son graduated, and the week has been quite busy with celebrations and events.

DRONE: I flew and Avata 2 and a Mavic 3 on the same occasion in gusty winds before a massive storm. The next day, I flew the Mavic briefly in the same location. I ran the Avata into a thin tree branch, and it recovered nicely after a wobble. I am building a clip library this week to cobble into an edit about the murals.

No images yet. Meanwhile, check out the drone industry: Clemson Drone | Course.

SCIENCE: Schrödinger’s definitions of hue, saturation, and lightness. Is for complete. It is embedded in the geometry of a curved Riemannian distance and whatnot, or it isn’t. Second Steven’s Law is getting a low-key glow up for modeling perception as a trade-off between range of colors perceived with dark/light perception. Human have reduced three-cone sight response, and we can see in both bright sunlight and nocturnal light.

Ebola again. Why not? Check out the WHO. Ebola disease. Last I heard, they hope to have it under control…in six months.

Art: Street styles. Urban Art by Graffiti & Street Artists – GraffitiStreet.com

Imagine being a religious devotee trying to get your obstinate twenty-something cultist back into ‘regular’ spiritual awareness in the 60s/70s, during, arguably, the heyday of modern cultlore. Before the world was connected by GPS it was much weirder. Well, Boards of Canada reimagined a fairly intense exchange from the movie Jesus Trip (1971). I just like the album, a thematic mediation on cults and spirituality. They https://boardsofcanada.com/ They put out an album every decade or so. Selling on Bleep.
