Today I discovered a world with vibrant red grasses and tropical trees; vast oceans dotted with tiny islands. Gradually the islands occur closer and closer together until there large expanses of solid land.
Someday I'll get tired of watching the sun set over alien seas... but not yet 🌞

This galaxy map shows star systems I've visited. In many cases I built small bases there as well, so I can retrace my steps using the base teleporter system.

Some species have a similar body plan but with a different shaped tail, jaw, or crests. Others have a superficial similarity but I think are in a different taxon. Mimicry?

I'm getting back to No Man's Sky after having been away for a while. I play in creative mode, so no worries about being attacked or having to pay for materials. I have several goals. One is to study and collect as many versions of this taxon as I can!

Sending out Thanksgiving greetings -- wishing you a peaceful experience connecting with home and family -- whether that's your family of origin or family of association -- and no matter where home may be for you.

I'm working on the homework problems at the end of chapter 1 of the Belkin text. We're supposed to be making variants of motifs but I keep getting distracted and making little songs out of them. I'm so glad I'm doing this with a bunch of friends because if it were for a "real" class I'd be toast. 🙃🍞

All of us have different backgrounds and are approaching it differently. The consensus was, it would be fine to spend another 2 weeks "chewing on" ch. 1.
I got distracted by one of the homework questions (relating to motifs) and went off on a tangent. Yesterday's work looks like this!

I accidentally played an F# ma7 in one hand and a Bb sus 2 in the other and said "whoa!!!" like I had just discovered a new element or something 😮

This is me at 10 yrs old, drawing "bicorns". They were egg-laying, horse-like creatures with wings and two horns, and they could change color because they had chromatophores under their skin (like squid).
I love how I have my 64-pack of Crayola crayons all sorted into color families.

I've been away from No Man's Sky for about a month because of some projects around the house. I just went back to some old pics and felt a wave of nostalgia. I don't play the game the way it's "intended", I just walk around and take pictures 🙃

This week's homework project will have 3 sections (each based on a separate motif), and then a 4th section that pulls it all together.
I feel like I'm 7 yrs old and writing a story on that special kind of paper ✏️

I didn't know Wikipedia's origin story! I take it for granted that it will always be there. After watching this video I want to make another donation.

I'm trying to think why my NMS record keeping is such a pleasant little mini-game.
"Look how much I accomplished already!"
"I'm looking forward to these unexplored ones"
No time pressure, no judgement
It's do-able. Not too much complexity
Can I apply these skills to real life? ex my garage
