Today, I'm retiring from Pixar, 40+ years after I first started. It's been a great run. Keep making the world's best movies #pixar

Stunning Dodgers 2-1 win of Phillies last night. Bottom of the ninth, one out and the winning run on second, double play ends the game. It was a double TOOTBLAN: Crawford caught in a rundown, Realmuto tagged retreating (needlessly) to second.

#Dodgers bullpen tried their best to lose the game, but the Dodgers batters were just too good for them.

#Dodgers are brutalizing the Reds. 8-0 in the 6th.

Yamamoto having a bad day. #dodgers As is Schanuel for the Angels. (HBP, looked gruesome but stayed in the game.)

Happy pi day! Here's a drawing of a sphere made of little cubelets done by my AxiDraw V3A3 plotter, using black and grey Pentel Energel 0.7 pens on 18gsm card stock. Cubelets are included or excluded depending on the bits of the binary expansion of pi. #piday #penplotter #axidraw

A friend is looking for part-time programming work. Eons of experience doing rendering and animation. Located in LA, but open to remote work. (This is not me!)

Mmm, Earthquake here, following which Twitter said "Something went wrong. Try reloading." But reloading does nothing.

Physicists: We spend billions on colliders to discover the origins of matter. Biologists: We spend billions to map the human genome. Astronomers: We spend billions to send a telescope into space. Mathematicians: We spend $50 to buy a box of Hagoromo chalk.

For Star Wars day, two Tattooine beach sunsets. (Does Tattooine have beaches? I don't care.) Drawn by my #axidraw v3a3 (with brushless z servo upgrade) using Pentel EnerGel pens. #plottertwitter #maythe4thbewithyou
