“Maker spaces in educational settings help students learn how to work together, support one another, and bridge different disciplines when it comes to solving problems. Student makers may work on their own, but the opportunity to collaborate with new people, forge connections and develop new ideas together are key pathways to producing creative, viable solutions.” More on Designing Creative Collaboration School Spaces via Colorado Real Estate Journal #MakerSpaces #Collaboration

2. Big blue wig for sure!

“By making my PhD thesis Open Access, I hope to inspire people around the world to look up at the stars and not down at their feet; to wonder about our place in the universe and to try and make sense of the cosmos. Anyone, anywhere in the world should have free, unhindered access to not just my research, but to the research of every great and enquiring mind across the spectrum of human understanding.” ~ Stephen Hawking on his thesis being published online.

I appreciate the comments that my artwork generates amongst friends 🙂 Statements and questions such as:

From about 20-25 feet away it looks perfect!
Is bad art better than no art?
It looks great as the sun goes down.
It photographs well.

Ahhh. What truth lies in jest.

I know! 🙂 Probably under some latent, genetically coded chapter “Quantitative Data Analysis for Trick-or-Treaters”!

Halloween. A time to also remember all those wonderful souls that have passed on. The Life of Death from Marsha Onderstijn on Vimeo.

Wow. More on Lithops.

That witches hat! Love. Love. Love.

Best night. Best company. Best brothers.

“We may not have wings or leaves, but we humans do have words. Language is our gift and our responsibility. I’ve come to think of writing as an act of reciprocity with the living land.  Words to remember old stories, words to tell new ones, stories that bring science and spirit back together to nurture our becoming people made of corn.” (p. 347)
