My weblog ELECTRON BLUE, which concentrated on science and mathematics, ran from 2004-2008. It is no longer being updated. My current blog, which is more art-related, is here.

Cutting Remarks
I am currently not doing Art, but art-related activities. I am cutting mats and mounting boards for a print order. I have not done this in some time, as I made plenty of matted prints for Worldcon in 2004 and still have most of them in stock. But this was a special order, so I am back doing it. I cut fifteen 14" x 11" mats and mounts, and will assemble the prints and send them off as soon as I can. I don't have space for a mat-cutter, which takes up a broad flat surface, so I cut them by hand using a mat-knife and a ruler, the old-fashioned way. To offset the tedium I listen to avant-garde electronic drone or a variety of ambient music from a fine Internet "radio station" called Stillstream, devoted entirely to this kind of sound. This music ranges from the delightful to the unlistenable. You never know what they might play, as they have a very wide library of sound, including things which are privately produced and have never been published.
My calculus book is currently buried under matboards and board fragments. In a place as packed as mine that means that until the algorithm of superimposition (i.e. clutter layers) has been worked out, I will not get to my math. Last time I saw my math book, it was teaching me about even and odd functions. It is patiently waiting until I uncover it again.
