Yes I will agree, the Jandy drawing is supreme. This and the Mo/Haggis one are my two favorites now (besides the one of Alton/Anika of course).

I'm glad you saw yours too, Iris. I tried to make it so that both portraits would show without clicking the "more" button, but I guess the images were a little too wide.

Now that I've been drawn, I think I exist as a more real person on FF. :-)
- lris
Kamilah, your drawing of Jandy makes her look a lot like Sherry Stringfield (http://www.imdb.com/media...).
- Akiva Moskovitz
I can see a little resemblance. The main thing I wish I'd done differently here is to have moved the caption over to the right so that it wouldn't obscure the top of her head. I'll remember that for next time. It's a learning process.

Greg Guitarbuster, John Cooper, laura x and 6 other people liked this
"Gearhart (1869-1959) worked as a school teacher, never married and lived with two sisters who also were artists and teachers. (Sounds like the makings of a Jane Austen novel to me!) Well known in her time, she fell into near obscurity in recent decades. This show is the first retrospective of her work."

How many eggs do you need to make Linux from scratch?

Scores of eggs (source packages). A bit of flour, sugar, milk, and love, too. Hopefully, none of the eggs will be rotten, or any of the milk spoiled.

I remember compiling a kernel every few days, back in my "early" Linux days (only, oh, 8 years ago). Thankfully Ubuntu came along.
- Neil Saunders
Hopefully, the oven will be strong enough for building. I'd go with Ubuntu on this machine, but it's not friendly with all of the hardware. If Ubuntu had not been brand new in early 2005, I would not know how to do this.
- Julian
I have already crashed the system trying to build a package using the portable HDD for storage. Probably something to do with the USB. (I built the kernel way too long ago.) Will have to try building this thing from the most recent LFS LiveCD. [Edit: The LFS LiveCD project is pretty much dead. No new LiveCD since December 2007.]

Boys are having a "slumber party" (just the two of them) in the family room tonight. Item number 3 on Mr. 7's list (he has a list. on a clipboard) is "rock and roll dance party," and the music had to be on vinyl. "Dad do you have any heavy metal records?" Not really but we went with Fun House and Zen Arcade.

"“Jess, Bend, Oregon, 2009” is part of my newest photography project, “Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell,” a series of photographs of closeted men and women in the United States military. For each image, I have asked the individual to wear their uniform, while staging the photoshoot in the bedroom or local hotel room where that person is currently stationed. The reason for this is that I am most interested in the intersections between public and private space, and the government’s policing of our private spaces – the bedroom being the most representative space of this. I have purposely shot each image in a way that obscures to some degree the identity of the individuals, and the final image that is released to the public is first approved by the subject, and is in many ways, their expression of their closeted-ness and lack of identity. The name and location is also fictional: I have asked the subject to give me a first name and a location that is significant to them, but does not actually refer...
