Had some more fun with the Risograph duplicator at our makerspace. This is an image from Art Spiegelman's illustrated version of Joseph Moncure March's poem _The Wild Party_ from 1926. I did this in Black and Bright Red.

Been playing with the Risograph duplicator at our Makerspace. I'm currently obsessed with old albums from Jazz vibes player Bobby Hutcherson. Here, I play with images from three iconic album covers in Medium Blue, Bright Red, and Teal.

I've acquired a copy of a 1713 tract once attributed to Daniel Defoe and arguably was written by Charles Gildon for a project I'm working on. What a delight to discover an inscription from the late scholar of the 18th-century novel J. Paul Hunter inside! I still refer students to his arguments in The Reluctant Pilgrim when teaching Robinson Crusoe.

Just finished customizing my latest keyboard--a keezyboost40 with a caricature of me on the OLED display by the oldest kiddo.

The keyboard was a breeze, but getting the OLED to play nice was a real challenge. Learned a lot.

I've never tried making my own PCBs for a project before, but these cool purple ones I had made by @oshpark really turned out well. Can't wait to solder in the components and see if I managed to do this right!
Amazon Music just informed me that Peter Murphy has a new album. The “x-ray” info says that he wrote this after leaving his former band, The Bahamas. I suspect that @Luke is right in thinking this is not THAT Peter Murphy.
In the past three days, I've had the privilege to see my amazing former graduate student research assistant cross the stage and receive her masters and, tonight, attend her lecture on "Witches and Wards" at Hammond Castle in Gloucester. Amazing!
It took a couple of years longer than expected due to supply chain issues, but it's arrived!

Very excited to have found another volume of Charles Gildon's writings: this time, a 1703 copy of The Patriot bound with a Otway's Don Carlos. While the title pages are missing, these are otherwise in remarkably good shape for their age.
