The REAL reason AI is being pushed into schools

Halfway bent.... Well, maybe a little less than half. The colors are the intense colors I am after though. I think I could use a little less powder in my phosphor coating, but they are nice.

I added mercury, tipped off the trap, and dipped it in blockout paint masking off the "N". It took me a little longer, one of these days I will learn that when the patterns are chunky and look like graffiti, they are tricky and will take longer. I did have fun making it.

Next time, I am gonna tell my tube pulling glassblower buddies to pull them thinner. I kept having to stretch certain colors so they would be thin enough to air cool (like the brown arrow up top).

Tomorrow I will come in when the paint is dry and turn on the 60ma aging transformer so it becomes uniformly bright.

Neon synths class at Urbanglass went well. As per usual, I was too busy teaching to get any quality photos- but I did snap this one of the chaotic synth table with blink neon tubes half cleaned up.
I am excited for my public engagement for my Urbanglass residency. I am finally getting to do the "you dream it I make it" idea I have had for so long. There are so many amazing artists, and designers in Brooklyn all around me, and in other places. I am making an idea drop box featuring some of the new colors I have made. Then people will get to draw with colored pens and submit their idea to the box.
I even learned to use the vinyl printer (giant sticker machine) at work so I can attach qr codes of my website and videos/ articles/ online things that have inspired me. A way to show the intellectual work, and perhaps make it difficult to photograph with a phone ;)
Gonna start bending this- tonight! Hoping to have it ready for Thursday

« In December 1837 it was reported in the Dover Telegraph that “the Museum would be open every Monday to all classes gratuitously. This arrangement began on Boxing Day and 1500 people attended in 5 days. They did no damage and the hall was so crowded that not all could sign the visitors book.”»

Train posing part 1...

I had my fellow traveler take photos of me. We almost got caught and had to stop quickly. This is the only one we managed to take.
