Fixed a 90s Campagnolo cycling cap

Fixed a 90s Campagnolo cycling cap recently for SB. The plastic in the brim had pretty much disintegrated, and most of the seams were giving way.

Thread regarding Canvas vs SVG

Discussion regarding Canvas vs SVG

Running in to problems with SVG animation, will probably have to rethink it with canvas. See discussion at link above for reference. Ah well, wanted to do more with canvas anyways.

Update to colour JS on piperhaywood.com

Just pushed an update to the colour JS on piperhaywood.com. The HSL colour has been looking pretty muddy recently, partly since it’s an orange-y hue this time of year, but mostly because sunrise and sunset weren’t being taken in to account properly. Before, the lightness value changed gradually between 12:01am and midnight. Now it looks a little more “sunny” in the daytime. Will need to keep monitoring the min/max values, yellow could be problematic.

Cardboard quilt template by Alta Quick

The front and back of a six-petaled quilt template by my great-grandmother. Probably for stitching purposes (not patchwork). This and many other templates were cut from scrap cardboard, things like cereal boxes.

The Alfond-Lunder Family Pavilion at the Colby College Museum of Art

Lobby of the Colby College Museum of Art and the entrance to the Alfond-Lunder Family Pavilion.

Visited the Colby College Museum of Art recently for the fist time in years, the Alfond-Lunder Family Pavilion is a great addition. Wish I brought a proper camera.

Entrance to the museum, including Richard Serra’s “4-5-6” in the courtyard.
