Researching the definition/concept of a construct (in science, in philosophy, in art) and came across a listing for On new constructs in art by Ernest Edmonds in the publications section of the compArt | center of excellence digital art database. Need to take a closer look at this database, they’re currently drawing attention to the early phase of digital art (roughly 1950 to 1980).

Linting package linter-scss-lint was not working properly for me, with no linting occurring and no errors thrown. On top of that, other linters were functioning properly (i.e. linter-jshint). Came across issue Linters not linting…, and one comment suggested opening Atom from the command line. Tried this, and linter-scss-lint began working properly. Upon further searching, found issue noting that $PATH only present when Atom is launched from the command line.
Look in to this with Sam, he’s not having the same problems even though our .bash_profile and .bashrc files are the same. Check versions of Atom, all packages, Ruby, etc.

Look in to ShareThis, including their advanced customisation options. Systemantics used this on the new Cooper Robertson site designed by Project Projects. See implementation on Bridge Park page. Share buttons always feel like a compromise (they look great but are limited in their usefulness, or they’re so functional but look clunky). Can be a pain and really get in the way of a design, at least here they’re confined and off the main page.
Also, see spin.js (looks useful) and the Dublin Core Metadata Initiative (also here).

I’ll be your interface* is a recently-closed (shame!) exhibition organised by Roxana Fabius at the Center for Curatorial Studies at Bard College. The exhibition featured recent work by Dexter Sinister and objects from the Marieluise Hessel Collection.
There was a talk in March at the Judd Foundation (NYC) about work that doesn’t make a “crisp distinction” between function and art, sounded interesting (see more on Dexter Sinister).
Required further reading since I missed the talk: Donald Judd, It’s Hard to Find a Good Lamp, 1993.

I wasn’t familiar with Roger Ackling’s sunlight-on-wood work until Sam showed me the Kickstarter page for the new Occasional Papers book “Roger Ackling: Between the Lines”. Hope to visit the upcoming exhibition of his final work at Annely Juda Fine Art.
Update 27/3/15 – See also Five Sunsets in One Hour from 1978.

Was shown the light this past New Years and have been enjoying whiskey sours ever since. Keep forgetting the recipe though.
Pour 2 parts bourbon, 1 part fresh lemon juice (or lime in a pinch), ½ part simple syrup, and ½ part egg white in to a shaker and shake for 20-30 seconds. The proteins in the egg generate significant foam and this will add pressure, so hold it tight. Next, add cubed ice and shake hard until very cold. Strain into a tumbler with fresh ice, and garnish with an orange peel twist if you’ve got it.
Note: Aquafaba (the liquid from a can of chickpeas) also works if you don’t want to use egg whites. The egg white from one US large egg is roughly 1 oz, so this is a great cocktail to make in batches of 2.

I’ve moved my blog from Tumblr to WordPress, wanted to have more control over how my images display, how I group/categorise things, etc.

Notes
Makes a pretty wet dough. Knead very thoroughly. Thoroughly preheat oven to prevent dense bottom of loaf. Try preheating oven w/ tray, then placing loaf tin on that to bake.
