Geometry of space-time
The three dimensions of space and the dimension of time give shape to the fourth, that of space-time.
Today was a busy day of ancient history note making, meetings and upcoming leadership event preparation. I’ll be up early tomorrow to try and complete as much of my ancient history study notes as possible. I’m giving myself the deadline of tomorrow night to have my ancient history assessment prep work done (that including study notes and a research portfolio). It’s going to be a busy day, and hopefully a productive one!
(The bookshelves I ordered arrived today! My inner nerd is SO excited to start building them and organising my books! )
180605 - My study space with revision and some freehand drawing practice. :) I received a grade I’m really disappointed in on an essay that I worked really hard on and it put me out of sync yesterday, I didn’t get anything done. But I decided to take today as a refresher day, I pulled myself together this morning, cleaned my study space, did yoga, ate healthily and studied for 3 hours. I’m going to take this bad grade and use it as motivation to do well on my final exam. I’m going to work even harder than before to boost my grade back up to an A+. 🌟 remember that grades don’t define you and you can always do better, your potential is unlimited!
Susan Kare, The Woman Who Gave the Macintosh a Smile
In 1982, she was a sculptor and sometime curator when her high-school friend Andy Hertzfeld asked her to create graphics for a new computer that he was working on in California. Kare brought a Grid notebook to her job interview at Apple Computer. On its pages, she had sketched, in pink marker, a series of icons to represent the commands that Hertzfeld’s software would execute. Each square represented a pixel. A pointing finger meant “Paste.” A paintbrush symbolized “MacPaint.” Scissors said “Cut.” Kare told me about this origin moment: “As soon as I started work, Andy Hertzfeld wrote an icon editor and font editor so I could design images and letterforms using the Mac, not paper,” she said. “But I loved the puzzle-like nature of working in sixteen-by-sixteen and thirty-two-by-thirty-twopixel icon grids, and the marriage of craft and metaphor.”
