Got some film back and discovered I accidentally did some double exposure.

The latest household stop motion production. We made a Star War.

For when your pipes are clogged or not clogged, who is to say? (Yes, I know that’s not *exactly* the point of Schrödinger’s cat, but I am an expert in neither quantum mechanics nor plumbing)

The algorithm is being cheeky.

Every time I mention Cabbage Night to people who were not raised in New England they look at me like I am from Mars.

Coffee Dreams Credits redacted, but this was a co production. My kid thought of the art direction and I drank the coffee.

The Chase Credits redacted, but I’m in there only as “Camera Owner”.

Spent the weekend making stop motion movies with my kid. I love the two posters they made for their features and the quote they gave for the one we worked on together.

Vannevar Bush's The Endless Frontier is worth a read for anyone who works in or around science. It's not a perfect document, of course. But it adds a heck of a lot of context for our current research enterprise. Also, occasionally there is a line like this. nsf-gov-resources.nsf.gov/2023-04/Endl...

Wading into the Odyssey discourse with screenshots from Nostos: Il Ritorno (1989), an Italian avant-garde adaptation where all the dialogue is in an untranslated made up language. If nothing else, it is absolutely striking to look at. It's on Youtube.

Screenshot of an NIH notice with a typo. Apologies to the NIH staffer who posted this, its not a big deal. I just needed a laugh today.

Trying to relate to Gen Alpha.

A scene of Tails (Sonic’s good buddy) in the Backrooms (or maybe not?). The critique here was that it wasn’t sufficiently surreal.

I often doodle little comics to put into my kid’s lunchbox. They are a fantastic artist, so I get some art criticism on the way home from school as a treat. Here are a few from this week, with a bonus picture of the real life Meatball (orange) and Greta (grey).

A strange picture of a parachutist (my kid) and two cats flying through the air. I redacted my kid’s name but the cats are depicted in ways that fit their weird little personalities. This is today’s comic, so I have gotten any criticism on it yet.

Some wierd little fruit guys and a confused kiwi bird. The critique of this one was that the caption doesn’t mention that the fancy orange has a monocle.

A super onion like a Super Sonic from Sonic the Hedgehog. Mostly this was a long walk to a bad “onion ring” pun. The critique of this: “The joke about crying at the sight of on an onion was not centered enough”.

An orange cat (Meatball) and a gray cat (Greta). The orange is sweet but has exactly one brain cell. The gray thinks she is a kitten.

Teaching the kid how to make pasta from scratch.

Yes, yes. I need to teach them how to stay *a little* more still while shooting film. But this does capture the energy of being a third grader on a camping trip with your best friend.

I lent my kid my 35mm point and shoot for a camping trip and they accidentally created some shoegaze album covers.

Be right back, buying this Minolta Hi-Matic off eBay in case I ever find myself in low Earth orbit.

Oh no, I have fallen down an Artemis II induced rabbit hole about the point and shoot camera John Glenn bought at a drug store to bring to space. airandspace.si.edu/collection-o...

Happy #LoveDataWeek everyone! I've finally carved out a few hours to finish drafting out a chapter of my data management guide all about sensitive data. Check it out - johnborghi.github.io/Supporting_S...

My kid was recently in a production of the Lion King and doodled an alternate version. The happy flying baby an early contender for my favorite comic panel of 2026.

The title of the play - The Lion King but something's off?

A doodle of Simba's presentation in the Lion King, where Rafiki holds a baby Simba up for the other animals to see. Except this time somebody is yelling "That's the wrong baby!"

Another doodle: Rafiki rears back and yeets the mystery baby off the cliff. The baby seems overjoyed at this development.

One last doodle: The other animals are very concerned about what has transpired today at Pride Rock.
