Hello!
It has been a long time. I didn’t mean for it to be such a long time, life just… happened. In this case, life happening consisted of a planned break to move to a new city and get a new job. I did those things, and in the course of doing them I realized some other things:
- Some areas of my life needed more attention and a shifting of priorities was in order.
- My new full time job, which I greatly enjoy and find very fulfilling, has changed my personal needs. I do not go to work and do my job thinking about the time when I get home and can then work on the stuff that matters to me. Instead, I go to work and it matters to me. This is fantastic, a very welcome change, but it also means that when I get home, I’m tired and I’ve given of my creative energy already and I often just want to chill, not work some more on other things.
- I was spreading myself too thin with too many commitments to too many people and places. Combined with the above-mentioned need for a priority shift and my lessened need for an extra energy & creativity outlet, it was time to decrease some of those commitments. And my commitment to this blog was one of the things that got put to bed.
At this point I am not gone, but I am not back for regular updates, either. I am.. around. I’m doing things still – a lot of sewing for me and my friends and my family, and a lot of work on Desert Bus 10 preparation, and also more time doing whatever it is I feel like, whether that’s sleeping in or having brunch or game nights with friends, without feeling so guilty about having 5 project commitments that I’m then falling behind on, ohgoshohgosh I have to get home and work! It’s been good. I think it’s a healthy new thing for me to do. I think I need to continue trying to get better at it.
I post all this in such detail because I wonder if some of you out there will recognize it – I think these are things that we all deal with in the course of life. I think that for anyone, and certainly for artists and creators, it can be hard to know where to draw your lines when it comes to “giving up on your dreams” versus realistically needing and wanting to adjust the outline of those dreams. The answers don’t always come easily, and they’re different for every person. But it’s a set of decisions I think we all have to make at multiple points in our lives.
So as I said, I’ll be around. I have a couple tutorials I know I’d like to do soonish, as well as plans for some larger, future projects. I probably won’t post much here until after new year, and then it may still be wildly sporadic. But the blog is not defunct, it’s just in inconsistent hibernation mode. Think of it like an elderly cat: it’s going to spend a lot of time napping, but sometimes it’s also going to get up and move around a bit and be interesting and cute and perhaps even something you’ll want to tweet about. I hope to see you around in those active moments, and in the meantime, happy napping and life-ing.

/ December 31, 2022Dr. Seyed Abdur Rahim Qamari, known as Dr. Qamari Tehran, is a specialist in surgery and treatment of all types of anal diseases such as hemorrhoids or hemorrhoids, fissures, fistulas, abscesses, and hair cysts. He specializes in surgery (large intestine and colorectal). This is the reason why he can be considered as the best specialist in anal diseases in Tehran and all over Iran and the world. This statement should be confirmed from the point of view that the anus is one of the most sensitive and difficult organs of the body in terms of tissue, and only a specialist doctor with expertise, mastery and experience can treat patients’ problems to a great extent. Dr. Qamari, having a brilliant record in the outpatient surgery of more than 16 thousand patients by means of laser in Tehran, as well as daily treatment of 30 patients involved in anal diseases, intends to treat all cases related to the treatment of anal diseases in men and women.

/ February 5, 2017Hey, life happens to everyone. Priorities shift. I married when I was 28, she was 25. Now I am going on 57 and she is still my princess.
Our son was born when I was 35. He leaves college this year. Have a kid if you can. Yeah, it screws with your calendar for a little while, but… nothin’ beats being a Mom.
I sent an email hoping you’d be open for a commission. Realized that the subject was about four years old. Respond if you can, but do have a good life.
Regards,
Steve

طراحی مقاومت پوسته و ضخامت آن به فشار کاری دستگاه بستگی دارد. جریان سیال داخل پوسته روی تیوب ها جریان پیدا کرده و با سیال داخل لوله ها تبادل حرارت می کند.
