Good morning, Shop.

I’ve been ignoring my basics: proper diet, sleep, meditation, reading, limited twitter. For, like, a week.

I feel like crap. Don’t do that to yourself.

I started today with some meditation. I picked a good, comforting book to reread off my shelf. I shut off twitter. And I’m going to get to bed early tonight.

If you can, do one of these things for yourself today.

I think it has some general applicability to many content creation problems too because it allows you to author schemas suitable for assets, with easy options to switch between full detail and prefab/default settings. You can make everything data-driven AND statically checked from the very beginning.

Necessity is the mother of invention.

Applied fluid dynamics: “understanding hydrodynamic instabilities of heart valves—and eventually reducing turbulent flow past the valves—should be a goal of applied fluid mechanics, not only because it is an intriguing flow problem but because there is a medical need for better heart valve prostheses.”
