We all know

I enjoy calligraphy because it is a type of meditation for me. I am part of a typology community that puts out a weekly glyph challenge where a person is encouraged to be creative with it and it still be recognizable. This week is the Arabic letter ج [d͡ʒim]. This is what I submitted.

Artist: Ricky Murillo at Ku #Tattoo in Wahiawa, HI.

It's #Tibetan written with the Tsugtung scrip.

Tibetan Uchen script:
མ་བཅོས་པའི་བློ་ཆུ་ལྟར་གནས་
དེ་མ་དཀྲུག་ན་དྭངས་ཤིང་གསལ་བར་འགྱུར།

English: "The nature of mind is like water, if you do not disturb it, it becomes clear."

Stolen from the Fediverse. #CoSoMusic

The trees in #Hawaii are something else.

I often get spam comments on my blog posts and they are all written like this. When I read then, I hear Max Headroom's voice in my head.

One of the many beautiful views from our #hike on Sunday. #nature

Day 15. The rainbow #mango #tree is 12" tall. It has two other companions now: 6" and 1" respectively. This tree is growing really fast and we really have to strategically place the tree so it causes minimal disruption to the surrounding structures.

#Mango tree progress: baby to sapling with baby

So this is what a baby mango looks like. My daughter insisted that we plant a mango from one of the store-bought ones.

Me with full beard: See you this afternoon!

*this afternoon*

Wife: WTF did you do?!

Me:

So not infosec tech mumbo jumbo-related, I just wanted to share a couple photos of what I do for a hobby. They are invented scripts for two fictional languages I created and are currently in development.

My potato looks like a Tim Burton creation.

One of my hobbies / side jobs is to write Persian using the nastaliq style of calligraphy. This is my latest work that I created for a client. They intend to tattoo this as a band on their leg. It's from a Rumi poem and it translates to: "Whatever may come from the universe is a guest in your heart; cherish it."

Spreading a little happiness.

My cats are weird.
