Always remember to never forget that everything changes, dies or fades away. Especially if it holds your data.

I love Amber Case's framing of "truthy" tech: hype-driven technologies that promise too much too soon, are driven by FOMO, and are intriguing because of their depictions in popular culture. There are plenty of examples to choose from right now, and this is a great guide to spotting them. #Technology https://caseorganic.medium.com/how-to-identify-truthy-tech-trends-70f553c5a445?utm_source=werd.io&utm_campaign=mastodon&utm_channel=mastodon
Puzzle: License Plates
Another one we picked up on a trip to Maine: License Plates by White Mountain Puzzles. Lots of colorful detail and high quality make – if (like me) you used to play the license plate game on road trips you may have an advantage. Maybe because White Mountain Puzzles made it, feels like there is … Read more
Puzzle: Luncheon of the Boating Party
Via Amazon, Auguste Renoir Luncheon of the Boating Party puzzle. Like many licensed artworks, there may be multiple versions of this available as a puzzle – the one I did was the EuroGraphics one which was a solid quality puzzle (albeit without a photo insert, so you have to keep looking at the box cover). … Read more
Puzzle: Notes of Blue
Picked this puzzle up at a store in Maine on a trip to Kennebunk, but you can find it online: Notes of Blue from Piecework Puzzles. They’ve got a beautiful soft feel and are made on high quality art paper, so really look great in person.
Puzzle: State Birds
Not sure where we picked this one up: Eurographics Puzzle: State Birds Started with the edges, then the title postcard in the top left, then the “stamps” because those were easier to sort out, then the state names and flags, then the bird illustrations, then filling in the gaps. It’s a great looking puzzle – … Read more
Iona Holloway at Creative Mornings Boston
Started the day today with Iona Holloway at Creative Mornings Boston – fantastic and moving talk. I’ll make a note to link to the video when it’s available. Iona’s the author of Ghost: Why Perfect Women Shrink and the founder of Soul Breathwork. I won’t even try to tell her story here, but she’s a … Read more
Puzzle: Abbey Road
It should not be surprising given its popularity, but there are multiple different makers of puzzles licensing this image. The one I did is here: Beatles Abbey Road 1000 Piece Puzzle made by AQUARIUS who do a lot of licensed image puzzles but at good quality. I was concerned as I’ve had some dodgy album-cover … Read more
Puzzle: Irresistible Italy
Puzzle by the Vermont Christmas Company: Irresistible Italy. I love Italy, and this puzzle was fun as it pulls together a sunset, mountain range, architecture, and florals – all things you’d find in other highly detailed puzzles but not normally all in one place.
Puzzle: New England Patriots Barnyard Fans
Jo found this one for me – a 500 piece New England Patriots puzzle of a barnyard scene. Lots of small detail in the animals faces, tails, etc – plus the structure of the barn.
