State of the blog

I haven’t been blogging very much as of late, mostly trying to get my affairs in order with professional work, but it’s coming together slowly. Now that I have a new job, some awesome freelance work coming my way, my schedule is starting to free up now that everything is being organised.

Literally, my blog is on automation right now with autoposts from Instagram and YouTube and I finally worked out how this blasted Queue thing on Tumblr works!

Ah well, I’ll try blogging more from my office in between renders and shit. I miss my Tumblr followers. You guys are a whole lot better than the Twitter ones.

Anyway, I just felt like I had to actually formalise some shit by actually blogging about the lack of blogging, so that I have an anchor to work from on this sea of progress.

do you cuss in an intense argument?

All the time

distant-traveller: First X-ray view of Martian soil This graphic shows results of the first analysis of Martian soil by the Chemistry and Mineralogy (CheMin) experiment on NASA’s Curiosity rover. The image reveals the presence of crystalline feldspar, pyroxenes and olivine mixed with some amorphous (non-crystalline) material. The soil sample, taken from a wind-blown deposit within Gale Crater, where the rover landed, is similar to volcanic soils in Hawaii. Curiosity scooped the soil on Oct. 15, 2012, the 69th sol, or Martian day, of operations. It was delivered to CheMin for X-ray diffraction analysis on October 17, 2012, the 71st sol. By directing an X-ray beam at a sample and recording how X-rays are scattered by the sample at an atomic level, the instrument can definitively identify and quantify minerals on Mars for the first time. Each mineral has a unique pattern of rings, or “fingerprint,” revealing its presence. The colors in the graphic represent the intensity of the X-rays, with red being the most intense.
