I found this zine in the back of a drawer.

I don’t remember clearly but I guess I only made one and it never left the drawer.

It is such a shame because, years later, I think it is nice.

I’ll make it again.

It is not because I'm at a wine tasting in a fantastic farm close to my home.

AI will never EVER be able to make wine.

Cooking the wheat glue for the second layer of the T-Rex skull.

This time I’m making it thicker because I need it to work as filler and add volume.

First layer of paper is done.

Every single piece is recycled from scraps and waste.

As I'm using wheat glue it is now very wet and I need it to dry out before applying more layers.

Don't ask me why.

I'm trying to make a T-Rex skull.

My last newsletter was about having a personal website in the AI age

As I closed by saying: "I'm actively working and testing how to get noticed in the right way by AI Search bots on my website."

Here the result:

I closed the last post saying: “I’m actively working and testing how to get noticed in the right way by AI Search bots on my website.” . This is the result of the experiment: I went from “zero presence” to first page in Google Search results and being included in Google AI Overview.

I stopped at the usual gas station for a coffee and I saw this beautiful, girl trying to fuel her car.

When she came into the bar to ask for help, she was so nice and gracious.

if you wonder, she didn't fueled.

She just went in the car and left.

Amazing!

Damn! I forgot I'm a certified shiatsu practitioner and I can help my cat

I started studying the meridians according to Traditional Chinese Veterinary Medicine how I used to do at shiatsu school: hand drawing the map of the points with relevant details for locations

Ok! Last effort!!! Hang in there

😂 Eh dai, lui almeno fa solo casino. Boss (fratello di GattoGatto) che siano 500mt o 20km miagola tutto il tempo e a 50mt dall’arrivo manifesta il suo disappunto cagando nel trasportino e rotolandosi dentro.

Una delizia

Looks better even if the eyes are still not ok. He is still taking his medicines. I’ll give him a few more days then I’ll call again the Vet. Thank you for asking.

Internet Entomology

I did this more than 10 years ago.

Pretty sure today it needs to be extended but it still has some values, I think.

I'm refreshing the materials for an upcoming Visual Problem Solving workshop. This one explains why I use sketchnoting as the main visual tool.

Any feedback is more than welcome.

Update on GattoGatto.

Went to the Vet.
Blood analysis: a viral infection in the upper respiratory tract and a mild problem with intestines

He is under medication.

He is himself, sleeping eating, popping and walking on my iPad while I'm sketchnoting 😂

I can totally relate to that! I use to say I was NOT a cat person until these 2 came to my life.

Mauro xLontrax Toselli @xlontrax.bsky.social · Aug 10

Hi Kate, he is 2. Yes, I will keep a close eye on him and in case nothing changes I’ll take it to the vet. So far no other symptoms other than a couple of sneezes. Thank you so much, very appreciated!

Mauro xLontrax Toselli @xlontrax.bsky.social · Aug 10

I’m swinging between “fantastic” and “oh my gosh”. 😂 I hope you have someone who help you with them

Oh yes yes! I’m more relaxed now. And, yes, I can see… Hi Luna! Just curious, how many cats you have?

Mauro xLontrax Toselli @xlontrax.bsky.social · Aug 10

Good point! I definitely keep this in mind and that is a majestic cat. Beautiful!

Mauro xLontrax Toselli @xlontrax.bsky.social · Aug 10

About the same here and it’d not be a problem. I’m not rich but I work my ass off every day to ensure my family (yeah, the cats are family too) can afford to live a healthy and serene life. I keep my eyes on him and in case I’ll visit the vet. Thank you so much, very appreciated.

He looks normal, eats as usual, drinks and sleeps a bit more than usual but can be the heat which is back in northern Italy too. He is, let me say, a PRO when it comes to litter but yesterday he went only once. I inspected the poo and the color and (uh boy!) the smell is the usual, no worms
