Weeknotes 3

I’ve been sick this past week. The days felt suuuper slow, like time itself was sick too.

Blender

Been messing around in Blender making wallpapers. With just a single plane and some cloth physics, you can get a ridiculous amount of wallpapers — all you have to do is move the camera, spin the object a bit, and voilà: instant artsy shots. Everything’s rendered in Cycles and it’s really quick.

Listening

All Them Witches — bluesy riffs, cosmic vibes, neo-psychedelic doom rock. Desert dust + space helmets.

Reading

I made a list of short stories I want to go through — philosophy, romance, and sci-fi.

• The Egg — Andy Weir
• The Last Question — Isaac Asimov
• The Happy Prince — Oscar Wilde
• The Gift of the Magi — O. Henry
• Harrison Bergeron — Kurt Vonnegut
• Araby — James Joyce
• A Little Cloud — James Joyce
• The Machine Stops — E.M Forster

Monument Valley 2

Played a bit of MV2. The art direction is stunning — every level looks like a piece of architecture you’d want to hang on your wall. This game is so relaxing and absolutely beautiful.
