Fresh Sketches
Just a few new sketches drawn “on location” this evening at a free Ron Sunshine concert in the Bing. Finished off a little sketchbook, if nothing else. Getting an urge to do some bigger drawings!

Breakin’ the Law
So I step outside a few minutes ago to get some snacks at the convenience store. I notice two Binghamton city police cars conferring at the intersection of my street; one pulls away, down Vestal Ave. As I step to the curb towards my truck, the other guns it and starts spinning his wheels down my street in the new-fallen snow. The car stops abruptly, presumably as I am noticed, and I smirk. Busted! I make a “what gives?” gesture (my best indignant citizen affectation), and observe as the officer in the passenger seat attempts to look occupied. After a moment I imagine to be prolonged by guilt and indecision, the car creeps down the street, turns around, and drives away.
Not that I have anything against horsing around in the snow, mind you. I just found the irony of the situation amusing.

New Doodles
I’ve uploaded 26 recent sketches to my gallery. A few are based on people met or seen in New Orleans. The rest, as usual, are drawn from random sources around the internet (primarily Flickr). The self portrait, of course, was drawn from my reflection in the window.

Bookmark in Yojimbo 1.1
I’ve made a minor update to Bookmark in Yojimbo, my AppleScript for sending bookmarks from Safari directly to Yojimbo. This update provides compatibility with Yojimbo 1.4, but you will need to get the Yojimbo 1.4.1 update (when available) in order for the “Bookmark & Edit” function to work properly. Other recent versions of Yojimbo may still be compatible.

LEGO Bros
My brother has built an Exoforce Claw Crusher – it’s the biggest Lego kit he’s built yet, and it is pretty cool. He took some pictures of it:
I also made a fancy computer rendering of the alternate docking cradle I made for the Star Wars B-Wing kit (unlike the default cradle, it makes the cockpit reasonably accessible by placing it at ground level):
Look here for more information on LDraw Mac shenanigans with Bricksmith, L3P, LGEO, and POV-Ray at a future date.

He’s No Dopamine
My good friend Dan has had a scholarly article published in an online peer-reviewed journal, Behavioral and Brain Functions. He is the principal author of “Examining impulsivity as an endophenotype using a behavioral approach: a DRD2 TaqI A and DRD4 48-bp VNTR association study.” I helped a wee bit.
