Round up of other act 2/show in general thoughts:

- for some reason the boxing didn't hit as much as the dolls did seeing it for the first time, idk if it was more toned down or not bc I haven't watched vids yet. In the early part of the segment though when they're doing much less I was for some reason struck with a feeling of "wow, they're really a couple" which is hilarious to be thinking watching a cat fight but here we are

- the silicone is SO MUCH WORSE in person . I shared Dan's scripted disgust over it

- their yapping segment was pretty run of the mill, the topic was whisks

- I didn't feel like there was the most cohesive message with the whole show but it made me very 🥺 that the key takeaway was really more that we were the good influences on them. Also all the times they referred to us as their family 🥺🥺🥺

- the song was exactly what I expected it to be like but even so it fucked so unbelievably hard and I'm obsessed with them for going so all out with it

- Sister Daniel didn't call Phil Daddy tonight 😔 but he did have to very much jerk his head back to avoid her ass in his face so that's still a win

- I love Dan leaning into the "no I was straight until 2019 that's how it works" joke

- SO MUCH Dan ass content. Why is his underwear fully coming out on stage. Why is it thrust in Phil's direction so often. Many questions to ponder

- It's the most overplayed thing and I knew it would happen and it still tickled me every time the answers were all displayed at the end of role model or nole model and they had all been ph-ified.

Overall it was so good and I literally did not stop smiling the whole time I love those boys so much

Generative AI was always unsustainable, always dependent on reams of training data that necessitated stealing from millions of people, its utility vague and its ubiquity overstated. The media and the markets have tolerated a technology that, while not inherently bad, was implemented in a way so nefariously and wastefully that it necessitated theft, billions of dollars in cash, and double-digit percent increases in hyper scalers’ emissions. The desperation for the tech industry to “have something new” has led to such ruinous excess, and if this bubble collapses, it will be a result of a shared myopia in both big tech dimwits like Satya Nadella and Sundar Pichai, and Silicon Valley power players like Reid Hoffman, Sam Altman, Brian Chesky, and Marc Andreessen. The people propping this bubble up no longer experience human problems, and thus can no longer be trusted to solve them. This is a story of waste, ignorance and greed. Of being so desperate to own the future but so disconnected from actually building anything. This arms race is a monument to the lack of curiosity rife in the highest ranks of the tech industry. They refuse to do the hard work — to create, to be curious, to be excited about the things you build and the people they serve — and so they spent billions to eliminate the risk they even might have to do any of those things.  Had Sundar Pichai looked at Microsoft’s investment in OpenAI and said “no thanks” — as he did with the metaverse — it’s likely that none of this would’ve happened. But a combined hunger for growth and a lack of any natural predators means that big tech no longer knows how to make competitive, useful products, and thus can only see what their competitors are doing and say “uhhh, yeah! That’s what the big thing is!”  Mark Zuckerberg was once so disconnected from Meta’s work on AI that he literally had no idea of the AI breakthrough Sundar Pichai complimented him about in a meeting mere months before Meta’s own obsession with AI truly began. None of these guys have any idea what’s going on! And why are they having these chummy meetings? These aren’t competitors! They’re co-conspirators!  These companies are too large, too unwieldy, too disconnected, and do too much. They lack the focus that makes a truly competitive business, and lack a cohesive culture built on solving real human or business problems. These are not companies built for anything other than growth — and none of them, not even Apple, have built something truly innovative and life-changing in the best part of a decade, with the exception, perhaps, of contactless payments. These companies are run by rot economists and have disconnected, chaotic cultures full of petty fiefdoms where established technologists are ratfucked by management goons when they refuse to make their products worse for a profit. There is a world where these companies just make a billion dollars a quarter and they don't have to fire people every quarter, one where these companies actually solve real problems, and make incredibly large amounts of money for doing so. The problem is that they’re greedy, and addicted to growth, and incapable of doing anything other than following the last guy who had anything approaching a monetizable idea, the stench of Jack Welch wafting through every boardroom.

[allsketchesnononsense]

I SAW YOUR POST ABOUT THE PSYCHOPOMP HELMET AND I HAVE TO ASK HOW’D YOU MAKE IT??

i wanted to cosplay her at some point in the future but i’ve never tried my hand at prop making or anything of that matter really so i can’t wrap my head around any like basic concepts to make the psychopomp itself 😭😭

sorry for taking abit to answer, wanted to make sure I was at my PC to answer so I can give Exact Images n stuff of what I got/used

warning: you're gonna need some serious power tools for this. alotta bits I had to get help from my dad bc he has SO MANY hobbies that involve power tools lol

SO

For the base:

you need a good helmet. n finding one of those ain't easy, so you're probs gonna haveta Make Do with something you can cut parts off of.

I used something like this, but cut off the parts that jut out at the ears and the lip at the front. The internal bit that keeps your Actual Head from touching the Actual Helmet is VERY helpful bc (atleast w/ mine) it wasnt a layer of foam or anything that'd be finnicky, it was just straps.

theoretically could also use a cheap-y baseball helmet though obvi you still gotta Mutilate it

For the accessories™:

The antannae are actual extendable radio antannae I harvested from an old boombox n another thing, but you can buy JUST the antannae online

the megaphone/satellite dish bit my dad helped me cut n gut a car alarm type thing and attatch it w/ this silicone stuff he had on hand

And the headphone pieces on the sides are a set of vintage radio headphones I found at a thrift store. these to be exact (they're not v rare n go for 10-30 bucks on ebay)

Though any old, chunky headphones could easily work. These were just what I had on hand. And, as a useful thing, the metal prongs connecting to the headband were perfect to easily bolt in place on the helmet and keep them flexible for easy putting on and taking off. The little radio speaker-y bits on the outside I added my dad had laying around though obvi not 1000% Necessary

And that's all really for the easily bought supplies

The front plate is Literally just a chunk of sheet metal he happened to have on hand, and added the bolts to. The fifth bolt in the middle is the only Functional one that actually attatches to the helmet

And the bit keeping the wires in place is a piece of plastic we melted to shape, painted accordingly, then hot glued in place. Added the screws to make it look abit more Cohesive with the rest of it.

The staples specifically on mine are holes drilled then w/ v thin wire fed through and twisted and trimmed.

Some smaller seams n details I added with super glue since it gave a v subtle raised effect, and bc it cracked in shipping I had to super glue some of the cracks back together Anyways lmao

also had to do alot of spraypainting to get it the right color. Make sure to paint the "accessories" seperate before assembly bc trying to tape off everything could end up Annoying and that way the metal bolts and the plate can retain their orig metal color to add contrast.

Also make sure you get Matte paint, bc it'll look goofy shiny. Preferably something meant for outdoor use bc those will have the more gritty textures you're looking for n its easy to find.

For any extra scuffing n details I did some dry brushing w/ grey and black acrylic to add depth. Best way to do it imo is add some drybrush with a scrappy old paintbrush then wipe away some with a paper towel

or just use a paper towel with a v tiny, thinly spread bit of paint

Hopefully this helps atleast some!! If you need more detailed shots of my helmet for better reference just lemme know, I just dont feel like going to grab her rn for a photo shoot lmao

Good luck w/ your helmet!! n be sure to post it lots when you're done!!

It'll be sick as hell to see how your interpretation turns out!

just be careful bout wearing it too long

start seeing things you're not supposed to

knowing things you're not supposed to

[ashlynniis-bracketeers]

...Yes, I'm still brainrotting about assigning Sembla to (Kwaiz-ified) Warframes. Send help.

Putting it under a cut.

Excalibur - [???] ("Blades of Light" don't really fall under any of the Sembla. Light can make beams, but I don't recall solid swords of light falling under it lmao. Unless Kwaiz-calibur uses non-psionic magic alongside it...)

Trinity - [???] (She's a generalized healer. Could fall under Flesh or Sugar, and Kraizen can only have one Sembla...)

Ember - Fire (No shit lmao)

Loki - Ink (He's the invisibility and trickery guy, along with throwing out decoys. Switch teleport doesn't fall under any Sembla, though lmao)

Volt - Electric (No shit lmao)

Rhino - Gravity (None of his skills really fall under any Sembla except for Stomp, which "stomps with force sufficient to disrupt time, tumbling enemies around him in stasis".)

Ash - Plume (He has a smoke vent on his left arm and his invisibility manifests as a disorienting puff of smoke.)

Mag - Force (She's supposed to be magnets, but she can yoink basically anything and everything lmao)

Frost - Cold (No shit lmao)

Nyx - Ink? Spirit? (Neither of them have any real mind-control powers compared to, say, Fungus, but the animation for Chaos has a model of Nyx appearing on enemies affected by the ability, which could be an illusion to make the enemies mistake their allies for Nyx and start attacking each other. That doesn't really explain Mind Control, Absorb, or Psychic Bolts though lmao)

Banshee - Alarm (Pretty self-explanatory. Alarm isn't always just making sounds louder... I think...)

Saryn - Corrosion? Fungus? (Leaning a bit more towards Fungus. A lot of the wording for her abilities is "spores" and she has a wide umbrella of damage types that would fall under more than just the Corrosion Sembla, being toxin, viral, and corrosion.)

Vauban - Silicon[?] (He's a bit all over the place. I'm not sure whether he'd fit better under Plastic or Silicon, but I'm just putting Silicon because of his Overdriver mine lmao.)

Nova - Salt??? (Not the slightest goddamn clue. Her thing is antimatter, which isn't really tackled by any of the Sembla. I'm only putting Salt because her most popular ability is Molecular Prime, which makes enemies explode lmao.)

Nekros - Either Spirit or Dream (*Insert "IS THAT THE GRIM REAPER?" meme here* for Spirit, but also a toss-up between it and Dream due to Terrify being able to manipulate emotions directly.)

Valkyr - [???] (no damn clue. Her abilities are a bit of a mess, theme-cohesion-wise. She could be Alarm, or Thread, or Force, or...)

Oberon - Either Plant or Radiation (Similarly to Valkyr, he's also a theme-coherency mess. He's a paladin, king of the fairies, and he has radioactive pulses, slams, and grass, and also has a heal and a passive focusing on pets...)

Zephyr - Wind (No shit lmao)

Hydroid - Either Water or Corrosion (If this was pre-Rework Hydroid, I'd have listed only Water, but now he has a whole thing with the Corrosive status and stealing enemy armor and blablabla. He's still a pirate and water can also erode things...)

Mirage - Light, Spirit, or Ink (Not quite sure which single Sembla to give her. Her thing is confusing and blinding the enemy [See: the Disco Ball of Doom that is Prism], but that doesn't explain shit like Hall of Mirrors making more projectiles, Slight of Hand being explosive, or Eclipse unless she's also using non-psionic magic alongside it.)

Limbo - Either Void or Shadow? (Oh, Limbo, of course you keep being a pain in the ass to categorize. Limbo's thing is controlling "The Rift", a personal demi-plane as it were. While Void fits with using a "personal dimension", Shadow's ability to "sink into" shadows and move around in them untouchably outside of a few scenarios fits with how Limbo actually uses the Rift. Hm...)

Mesa - [???] (Not a single goddamn clue lmao. Literally the only ability that even vaguely falls under one of the Sembla is Shooting Gallery, which feels like it falls under Hex, but that's only one ability out of four and the other four are not really Sembla-ey.)

Chroma - [???] (No damn clue lmao. His thing is wielding four elements, which isn't really a thing for Kwaiz because there's a different Sembla for each of those four elements. No damn clue.)

Equinox - [???] (No damn clue lmao. She's two different frames in a trench coat, how am I supposed to pick one Sembla for this? And her abilities don't really feel Sembla-ey, either.)

Atlas - Rock (No shit lmao. Rocc.)

Wukong - [???] (No clue lmao. He's all over the place.)

Ivara - Either Ink or Force? (Got the Invisibility that feels like it'd fall under Ink, but she's also a pick-pocketing little shit and can guide non-hitscan projectile's movements, which feels like it'd fall under Force.)

Nezha - Fire (No shit lmao)

Inaros - Dust (POCKET SAND. Also his control over bugs and sand-theming also reminds me of Shilalaan, another Dust user who controls sand and bugs.)

Titania - Either Light or Wonder? (Fairy Fuckery is what she is. She likes turning enemies into lures and pulling random buffs out of her ass, she's all over the place. No clue lmao.)

Nidus - Flesh or Disease (Nidus is supposed to be a barely-tamed hunk of Infested material in the vague shape of a human person, but I'm not sure if controlling the Infestation would fall under the Disease Sembla...)

Octavia - Music (No shit lmao)

Harrow - Thread, Hex, or Silicon (Weirdo Void Crit Priest is also a pain in the ass to categorize. Thread would fit for chains, Hex would fit for critical hit manipulation, and Silicon would fit for team buffing and turning enemy damage absorbed by Covenant into critical hit chance.)

Gara - Glass (No shit lmao. Both in the sense of literal glass and the manipulation of perception.)

Khora - Thread (No shit lmao.)

Excalibur Umbra - [???] (See regular Excalibur above. Light? Alarm? idk.)

Revenant - [???] (No damn clue lmao. Another theme-cohesion mess.)

Garuda - Flesh (BLOOD FOR THE BLOOD GOD BLOOD FOR THE BLOOD GOD BLOOD FOR THE BLOOD GOOOOOD SGAKHSGJAGSAHSK)

Baruuk - Force? (I'm not sure. He's pretty simple fisticuffs, and stuff like the projectile avoidance from Elude, weapon destruction from Desolate Hands, and attack shock waves from Serene Storm could fit with Force, but something about it feels... off. It also wouldn't explain Lull.)

Hildryn - [???] (Not sure what to give her. Her thing is shields, and stripping enemy defenses to bolster those of her allies. Plastic? Silicon? idk)

Wisp - Either Spirit or Plasma? (Not sure what to give her. Spirit fits with her being themed after Will-O'-Wisps and using the Will-O-Wisp ability to distract enemies, but that doesn't explain Breach Surge or Sol Gate, which both fall more under Plasma. And neither of them explain her teleportation...)

Gauss - [???] (No clue. He's themed around kinetic energy and has traits that'd fit with Fire, Cold, Force, and Salt...)

Grendel - Either Sugar or Toxin (Not sure which one to pick. Sugar fits with his whole "eating people" thing, but both Sugar and Toxin fit with his team-buffing abilities regarding Nourish.)

Protea - Either Plastic or Silicon? (She's kinda like Vauban. A bit all over the place, not sure which to pick...)

Xaku - [???] (Oh, I have no fucking clue what to do with them and all of their Void Fuckery lmao.)

Lavos - Flesh? (Oh, my precious weirdo. His broad, element-mixing alchemical abilities don't really fall under any single Sembla, but his Leverian lore states that he was given power over Flesh to execute Javi, so I decided to give him Flesh. Maybe he's honed his Flesh skills so much that he's able to make organs that mix and throw out various elemental combinations on the fly... idk.)

Sevagoth - [???] (I have no clue lmao. He's also a non-Sembla-acting weirdo. Maybe the Shadow is an Amplifier or something idk.)

Yareli - Water (No shit lmao.)

Caliban - [???] (Nope, no damn clue lmao. Force? Plasma? Idk.)

Gyre - Electricity (No shit lmao)

Styanax - [???] (Not sure. Force??? Something about that feels off. Idk.)

Voruna - [???] (No clue lmao. Ink??? Spirit??? Wonder??? Idk.)

Citrine - Crystal (No shit lmao)

Kullervo - [???] (Oh goddamnit, more Void Fuckery. No clue what to do with him. Wonder??? idk.)

Dagath - [???] (No clue, more Void Fuckery. Hex?? Wonder?? Idk.)

Qorvex - Radioactive (No shit lmao)

Dante - [???] (MORE VOID FUCKERY. No clue what Sembla he'd have, but he'd definitely also be using non-psionic magic, I mean, just LOOK at what he does.)

Jade - [???] (She isn't even out yet, but since she's based on Angels and choral music, I'm leaning towards Music for now. We can just wait and see.)

I’m quite fond of quartz, it’s a fairly common mineral but it comes in so many colors: purple amethyst, orange jasper, and pink rose just to name a few. plus, the formula (silicon dioxide) is simple and easy to remember!

5 stars personally, while it's not wildly clever it's still cohesive and simple and well i'm just charmed. maybe some mild rephrasing on the first sentence before the colon

Races Among the Stars 10: Shimreen

Sentient life takes on all sorts of forms, the biodiversity of a single planet is enough to prove that, but sometimes in science fiction life takes on unusual forms, such as different chemical compounds that offer enough complexity to potentially become life. We’re all intimately familiar with the versatility of carbon, but other options like nitrogen, silicon, and sulfur are possibilities, to say nothing of stranger things that you get in sci-fi and fantasy alike.

One such unusual species are the autocthonous crystalline creatures known as the shimreen, that dwell on a planet known for it’s raw elemental activities, ranging from near-constant storms to geological activity including multiple volcanoes that serve as the primary reproductive sites of the species. While once they endured the truly staggering forces of their planet with only underground shelters to protect themselves, the modern shimreen have constructed at least seven domed cities that absorb the lighting and forces of the storms above into power for their residents, where they live in orderly, seeming utopia.

Shimreen (which I only recently realized is a pun on ‘shimmering’) appear to be humanoid beings composed of glowing crystal in a variety of colors spanning the whole rainbow (they can change the light level of their radiance, but only death can extinguish it). While extremely dense (the average shimreen weighing about 600 lbs), they possess the full flexibility of most other humanoids due to the way that their solid bodies can subtly fracture and reassemble without losing cohesion or letting in gaps, all of which gives them permanent joints, humanoid facial features as well as what makes their circulatory system possible alongside electrical currents carrying the energy from sustenance throughout the body.

That same control also allows them to alter themselves in key ways. The most immediately obvious is the way they can prune or encourage the growth of crystal outcroppings on their heads, forming “hair” and “beards”. However, they can also reshape a limb into either a tool for the work at hand or into a simple stabbing lance. Finally, they can actually reshape the crystal lattices in their own heads, the ones that define their consciousness, effectively altering their own brains. Most do so to get rid of bad habits or reduce the impact of traumatic memories.

Additionally, the properties of the crystal itself lends itself well to energy conduction, particularly electricity, though they can conduct and even absorb pretty much any energies, though this does nothing on it’s own to protect them from the damaging effects of said energy, it can be useful in combat, and it also means that music is a very popular art form in the species, with their songs usually including elements set at the resonant frequency range of their bodies so that they feel as well as hear the music.

It is perhaps the uniqueness of shimreen composition that explains why their reproduction can only occur on their homeworld (though the game treats this like a bit of a mystery). Essentially, when two or more shimreen desire a child, they venture to one of the volcanoes dotting their world and each break off a bit of their own crystal structure, combining them all together and dropping them into the lava, where they melt down and the heat allows the liquefied crystal to begin forming the crystal seed of an infant shimreen, unless the process fails, of course.

The shimreen believe that they were given life by Pharasma, and that the souls of their newborns come from the lava from her, which in turn leads many to believe that there is only a finite amount of soul energy, and only by returning the crumbled remains of their deceased to the volcano can it be renewed and guarantee that more children are born. (This isn’t touched on further because Starfinder likes to be a lot less specific about the great beyond and the complex matters of death and the afterlife, but I’m of the mind that the reason that shimreen can only be born from the volcanoes of their homeworld has more to do with the unique mineral composition than anything else, though there is probably some element of the divine or spiritual too).

The shimreen are an orderly people, but they also delight in expression and creativity. Their culture is broadly divided into warriors and workers, though there is no great social disparity between the two. Warriors include both those that train to fight in any capacity as well as those that hone their bodies for other reasons such as professional athletes and the like. Meanwhile, workers cover anything from doctors to scientists to skilled laborers.

The plentiful nature of resources on Shimrinsara also means that there is plenty of opportunity for creative endeavors and personal projects, and the fashion, art, and music scenes are fascinatingly diverse.

Indeed, all told, shimreen society should be a utopia, with most citizens seeing no need to leave the planet save for if their work requires it. However, every so-called utopia has it’s problems, such as the unacknowledged bigotry towards those whose internal light is dull or their facets rough and unpolished, as well as the current practice of “rehabilitating” criminals by externally modifying the malleable cerebral lattice, effectively brainwashing them into “good citizens” (though it should be clear that a large majority find this practice barbaric, though fear of exile has kept these objections quiet for now), as well rumors of an 8th city that exists outside of the control of the Spectrum Council’s control.

Shimreen are agile and ingenious, but their reliance on order leaves their critical thinking skills lacking.

They are also especially adept at absorbing and conducting various forms of energy, and by willingly absorbing more (damaging themselves in the process), they can hold a charge of such energy that they release with a melee attack with a weapon or their own crystalline outgrowths, enhancing its damage appropriately.

The conductivity of their crystalline bodies naturally makes them more resistant to electricity.

Shimreen also natural glow from within, and in addition to finely controlling it to punctuate their language, they can adjust, but not extinguish the light level of this glow as needed.

With their malleable crystal makeups, they can shift one of their hands into a piercing crystalline weapon similar to a dagger, shortsword, or even rapier. Most are quite adept at using it in battle too, though obviously the hand is useless for grasping until reverted.

With their agility, shimreen can be quite effective as ranged attackers or agile melee combatants, though the fact that they glow can make being an operative based on stealth difficult without full body coverings. Dexterity also helps them as precogs, though others may seek to use their intellect for studious biohacking, as well as the technological skills of the mechanic or technomancer. Interestingly, their ability to willingly take more damage to get a boost later has some synergy with the vanguard class. However, their lower wisdom makes mystic a somewhat hard sell, though nothing is stopping you from choosing the class if it is more your style than other casters like witchwarpers.

While their initially started as an AP backmatter race, they proved popular enough to get an expansion and write-up in Alien Archive 3 and Interstellar Species, which is always nice. In any case, that will do for today, I hope you’re looking forward to more!

diiary 2/25/2023

okayyy i been needing to write a longform post for a while! just to chronicle some thoughts in a cohesive way. & getting straight to the point: i'm realizing there is very little, if ANY payoff, to being an artist online. i'm not talking about money. im talking about the way it's like, the more ppl start to see you as an "artist", the more they feel like ur some kind of public figure they can lash out at w no repercussions. ur humanity is just wiped from their minds. i don't have some huge following by any means but for ME its gotten big since in the past i've been a serial deleter. usually at 800 followers im gone.

i love being creative & sharing for the sake of sharing but i deeply fear any kind of spotlight. since i came back onto tumblr i made the pledge to myself not to delete my account if it started growing but now im having second thoughts!! well i'll never delete this account cus im too sentimental but part of me just wants to stop posting in the ways i tend to do. like maube im too forthcoming & need to slink back into the shadows a bit. because i don't want to stop contributing art & music to the world but idk how to protect my heart.

like it's so crazy to me that artists are expected to b these idealistic icons of everything the viewer represents & if they make a single mistake its like fuck we better launch a pUBLIC HARASSMENT CAMPAIGN!! genuinely like, how are people supposed to want to put themselves out there when the climate is so hostile? it has got me feelin rly nihilistic i must admit. trying to put nice stuff into the world shld not be generating drama for me, especially when it's just my hobby & not even my "career".

for a while ive had no idea what to do for work or how to generate income in a way that works for me but honestly? im gonna bite the bullet & do some coding bootcamps so i can try n get a remote job doing some tech shit & making a fat salary. i guess i never rly considerd it before cus all the silicon valley stuff susses me out but idk. im naturally really good at code + my only real dream in life is to be able to support others & redistribute wealth. like ive never had anything of my own to share but if i could actually do this & become the secure+charitable person i wish to be, i think i cld finally have some inner peace/sense of fulfillment. plus i cld still be a recluse ^_^

ok well i guess that my diary entry for now. im rly grateful to everyone on this site who is genuine & respectful towards me. i am really enjoying all my creative projects right now & i just dont want it to ever stop being fun just because the internet doesnt want it to be fun for me. i seriously wonder why artists are the number one targets right now, i mean not to get too conspiratorial but like, this is exactly what the CIA wants :/ wahtever....i have no agenda other than plur. but yeah, i might just start to distance myself more from posting anything other than my work. we'll see. just kno that i dnt want it to b this way. ilu guys

[phrasedwithout]

do you love the attention ?

do you love the care ?

do you love the sentiment ?

even on a bad day ?

it's what keeps you cohesive

the silicone around your leaking heart

one day it will pull you far down

because you sought for tears and whisper

during the sandstorm of your own spawn

and you never tried to become well

Honey Drizzled Cream Puffs

Makes about 12 cream puffs

Ingredients: Puffs: 1 Egg separated, plus 2 whole eggs, 1 Teaspoon pure vanilla extract, 1/3 Cup water, 3 Tablespoons whole milk, 5 Tablespoons unsalted butter, cut into several pieces, 1 1/2 Tablespoons sugar, 1/2 Teaspoon kosher salt, 2/3 Cup all-purpose flour, sifted

Filling: 1 1/3 Cups heavy cream, cold, 3 Tablespoons honey, 1/3 Cup creme fraiche, cold, 3/4 Teaspoon pure vanilla extract

Make the puffs: Preheat the oven to 425 with a rack in the middle of the oven. Line a large rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper or a nonstick (silicone) baking mat.

In a small bowl, beat the separated egg yolk with 1 teaspoon water and set aside. In a second small bowl, beat the separated water and set aside. In a second small bowl, beat the separated egg white with the remaining 2 whole eggs and the vanilla and set aside.

In a saucepan over medium-high heat, combine the water, milk, butter, sugar, and salt and cook, stirring, until the butter has melted and the mixture is on the verge of boiling, 3 minutes. Remove from the heat, add the flour all at once, and, with a wooden spoon, beat the mixture until a cohesive ball forms. Return the pan to medium-low heat and continue beating the dough, using a smearing motion, for 3 minutes, until the dough is very smooth and slightly drier.

Scrape the dough into a food processor and, with the feed tube open, process for 10 seconds to cool it slightly. With the motor running, slowly pour in the beaten eggs through the feed tube and process until they are absorbed, 10 seconds. Stop and scrape down the sides of the food processor bowl, then continue processing until the paste becomes thick, smooth, and sticky, 15 minutes.

Scrape the paste into a large plastic bag and, using your hands or a bench scraper, push it into 1 lower corner of the bag. Cut off 1/2 inch from the very corner of the bag and pipe the paste onto the prepared baking sheet in 2-inch mounds, leaving at least a 1/2 inch space around each one.

Dip a spoon into cold water and use the back of the spoon to even out the shape and smooth the surface of the mounds. Using a pastry brush, brush each mound with a small portion of the reserved egg yolk mixture.

Bake for 15 minutes, then adjust the oven temperature to 375 and continue baking until golden brown and firm, 8 minutes.

Remove the puffs from the oven and, with the tip of a paring knife, cut a 3/4-inch slit into the side of each puff to release steam. Turn off the oven, place the puffs on the baking sheet, return to the oven, prop the door open with a wooden spoon, and allow the puffs to dry, until the centers are barely moist and the exteriors are crisp, 40 minutes. Transfer the puffs to a wire rack to cool to room temperature.

To make the filling. With a stand mixer fitted with the whisk attachment, a handheld electric mixer, or a whisk, beat the cream until it is softly whipped, adding the honey once the cream has thickened. Add the creme fraiche and vanilla and continue to beat until the mixture holds very stiff peaks.

Just before serving, cut the puffs in half. Fill each bottom half with about 1/4 cup of the filling, position the top halves on the filling, arrange on a serving platter, drizzle with honey, and serve.

Note: To enhance the flavor and stability of the filling add creme fraiche to the whipped cream.

I'd credit the picture but the person's name is in it

Personal framework for running a global engineering team

Five months in being Director of Engineering for a fintech startup, overseeing a small team that spans south Asia and North America, I'm building a global engineering culture that produces a high-quality technology product. Greatest challenge I've ever faced. What is helping me?

1. Being a systems thinker.

As a child my uncle would go to a used computer store, Weird Stuff, in Silicon Valley and bring home junk. I would take apart and rebuild computers. At the same time, on weekends, I would help mom look after our garden filled with abundant fruit trees.

Looking after a garden helped me practice managing micro-ecologies. I played a lot of video games growing up, notably SimCity, Civilization, and SimEarth. It was fun to explore different ways of managing complex systems (cities, nations, planet).

2. Understanding culture via ethnic studies.

I became interested in understanding my Vietnamese heritage while entering college. I became involved in Vietnamese student organizing at the school, regional, and continental level, especially organizing conferences.

I took a course in Native American Studies and Asian American Studies to help compare. What was important was to have a statistical and anecdotal view of culture. Traits can manifest by many, or by few who still see themselves part of the group.

Also important was tweaking or implementing new cultural practices. A big focus during my time as a student organizer—credit which goes to my peers—was building social cohesion among people in different geographies via group activities, e.g. scavenger hunt, trò chơi lớn.

Sometimes it failed. Other times it succeeded. Either way, a lesson learned: utilize one's upbringing, or design a way to introduce people into a new practice. Which segues into...

3. Practice marketing and product development.

I practiced asking/answering: What do people do? Is there something (a product) that exists to fulfill their needs? How can it be improved? I practiced via student community organizing, and continued having joined many tech startups.

At every startup company, we created a tech product (I developed my software engineering skills), and had to test and validate its viability. And in the context of a startup, I learned product development processes such as Agile methodology.

Culture is a product too, e.g. instituting a mentorship program, or Vietnamese New Year festival. They're not software, but it benefits from asking the same questions. Can't just do things just cuz it's always been done that way. Why do it? Otherwise people flock to alternatives.

4. Study leadership.

One way to approach it is learning the levels of leadership. The first person you lead is yourself. And then you learn to lead peers/groups, then organizations, then communities, societies, etc.

For each level one had to learn different skills. Level 1 (self) you learn self-awareness and self-love. Level 2 (peers) you learn empathy, chit chat, paired activities (hanging out; dates). Level 3 (group) you learn things like conflict resolution mediation.

Learning and practice never ends. Just because I practiced how to do it with peers my age, as time goes on, you just end up practicing with people of different backgrounds: age, origin, beliefs, life circumstances, disabilities, etc.

5. Learning and applying industrialization.

So it's one thing to learn how to create products. It's another matter to make it accessible at scale. I'll watch videos on how things are built such as how Coca-Cola Company makes soda. Or how McDonald's churn out burgers quickly.

It helps to be a systems thinker, to really identify where things get slow. When I played SimCity, I loved identifying and clearing out traffic bottlenecks. It also helps to understand lifecycles (thanks high school biology), because a lot of problems come down to timing issues.

Now... I don't have a formal training in industrial processes like Six Sigma or Toyota Production System. But it's definitely something I'm interested in. Why? Because I like to model after good practices that already exist. Which segues into...

6. Leverage partnerships and external inspirations.

An important lesson I learned while organizing in the Vietnamese nonprofit community is: if you can't do it yourself, partner with someone who can. Build their work into your flow. Or model their process.

I worked with nonprofits, so I only had shoestring budgets or volunteer hours to work with. My mentees created youth development programs by inviting staff of other nonprofits to participate. DIY is cool, but if it's not an option, collaborate.

Or if limited resources, introduce an abbreviated form. Set a goal for each team member to learn and apply one new thing each month to steer the team towards a framework. Sometimes it's about introducing terminology, because words shape our reality and the way we do things.

Sorry this is so long; really this is a brain dump. I need it because I needed to create my own personal framework for how I am running the engineering team.

This blog will explore the fascinating journey of carnival artists, their impact on culture, and the rising trend of carnival games in Bangalore.

Who is a Carnival Artist?

A carnival artist is much more than a performer; they are creators, designers, and dreamers who bring carnivals to life. They may specialize in a range of arts, including visual arts, makeup, costume design, puppetry, and set building. Carnival artists are highly versatile, often juggling multiple roles to ensure that every element of the event is captivating and cohesive.

Whether it’s through the creation of stunning parade floats or whimsical face paintings, a carnival artist’s work is the backbone of any successful event. Each design, character, and game stall reflects hours of planning, artistry, and execution. A carnival artist's ability to tell stories through their art is one of the reasons these festivals resonate so strongly across age groups and cultures. They weave together various elements – costumes, props, makeup, and performances – to bring out the essence of celebration.

The Role of Carnival Artists in Bangalore's Event Scene

Bangalore, known as India’s Silicon Valley, is not only famous for its tech industry but also for its lively social scene. In recent years, the city has become a hub for unique events, including music festivals, food fairs, and, notably, carnivals.

The goal is to evoke a sense of nostalgia while also appealing to the modern, thrill-seeking audience in Bangalore. The games, along with artistic installations and parades, make these carnivals an ideal family outing or group activity.

Key Elements in a Carnival Artist’s Toolkit

To understand the magic a carnival artist brings to these events, let’s explore the different elements they work with:

1. Costume and Makeup Design

Carnival costumes are known for their bold colors, sequins, feathers, and elaborate headpieces.

Makeup, too, is a crucial part of their toolkit, as it helps bring characters to life in vivid and captivating ways.

2. Set Design and Props

Many carnival artists also design sets and props that transform ordinary spaces into extraordinary worlds. For example, a game stall for Carnival games in Bangalore might be decorated with traditional motifs or futuristic themes, depending on the event's vibe. Props add layers to the experience and enhance the visual appeal of the carnival.

3. Performance Skills

Many carnival artists are trained in dance, mime, puppetry, and even acrobatics. Whether it's a fire juggler or a stilt walker, their skills add a unique thrill to the carnival experience. In Bangalore, these performances often draw large crowds, with people fascinated by the intricate routines and daring acts.

4. Game Design and Management

Designing Carnival games in Bangalore that are exciting yet fair is an art in itself. Carnival artists create interactive and fun games that encourage friendly competition. From managing the logistics of each game to setting up prize booths, they ensure that every aspect runs smoothly and adds value to the carnival experience.

5. Storytelling and Narrative Building

Behind every great carnival is a story, and carnival artists excel at building narratives that captivate audiences. A theme is carefully chosen, and every performance, stall, and decoration is designed to reflect that theme, allowing visitors to feel immersed in a cohesive, fantastical world.

Carnival Games in Bangalore: Bringing Communities Together

A Day in the Life of a Carnival Artist

A carnival artist’s work is a blend of artistry, logistical management, and audience engagement. Their day might start early with setup – arranging stalls, setting up props, and ensuring costumes and makeup are ready. For an event featuring Carnival games in Bangalore, the artist might oversee the installation of each game, making sure it is both safe and appealing.

As the carnival opens, they may shift into performance mode, interacting with guests, managing the crowd, and even performing in parades or stage shows. When the carnival closes for the day, the work doesn’t end there; they’ll begin preparations for the next day, repairing props, touching up decorations, and rehearsing performances. It’s a demanding but immensely fulfilling job for those passionate about their craft.

Why Choose Swim Hats and Printed Swimming Caps for Performance and Personalization - Swim Hat Co

Swim hats and Printed Swimming Caps have evolved far beyond simple accessories, becoming essentials for swimmers of all levels. Whether for casual swimmers, competitive athletes, or swim teams, investing in quality Swim Hats not only enhances performance but also provides a unique canvas for self-expression and team identity. This guide dives into the benefits of Swim Hats and Printed Swimming Caps, and why Swim Hat Co is a top choice for swimmers seeking both function and flair.

The Benefits of Swim Hats for Every Swimmer

Why Are Swim Hats Important?

For competitive and recreational swimmers alike, a Swim Hat is more than just an accessory. Here’s why it’s a key part of any swimmer’s gear:

Reduces Drag in Water: A Swim Hat creates a sleek profile that minimizes water resistance. This streamlined shape enables swimmers to move faster and with greater ease through the water.

Protects Hair from Chlorine: Chlorinated water can damage hair, making it dry and brittle. A quality Swim Hat, like those from Swim Hat Co, serves as a barrier between your hair and harsh pool chemicals.

Improves Hygiene in Pools: Wearing a cap helps prevent loose hair from ending up in the pool, promoting a cleaner and more enjoyable experience for all swimmers.

Enhances Safety: Bright-colored Swim Hats can improve visibility in crowded pools, helping lifeguards and teammates easily spot swimmers, thus adding a layer of safety.

Printed Swimming Caps: Personalize Your Swim Gear

What Are Printed Swimming Caps?

Printed Swimming Caps allow swimmers to showcase individuality or team spirit by customizing their caps with logos, text, or unique designs. From personalized names to team logos, a Printed Swimming Cap gives a distinct look that’s ideal for both personal and professional use.

Branding and Team Identity: For teams and competitive swimmers, Printed Swimming Caps help create a cohesive look, reinforcing team unity and making athletes easily recognizable at competitions.

Promotes Individuality: A personalized cap can reflect personal style and provide a unique touch, distinguishing individual swimmers even in a crowded pool.

Durable and Long-lasting Designs: With high-quality printing techniques, Swim Hat Co ensures that designs are vibrant, durable, and capable of withstanding regular use in chlorinated water.

Choosing the Right Swim Hat Material

Types of Materials for Swim Hats

Different types of Swim Hats cater to varying needs, and choosing the right material can enhance both comfort and performance.

Silicone: Silicone swim hats are durable, comfortable, and ideal for frequent swimmers. They provide a snug fit without pulling hair and are resistant to wear and tear.

Latex: Latex hats are lightweight and thin, providing a sleek fit that’s ideal for competitive swimmers who prioritize minimal drag. Latex caps are typically more affordable but may lack the durability of silicone.

Lycra or Fabric: Lycra hats are soft and comfortable, making them ideal for casual swimmers. While they don’t reduce drag as much, they are easy to wear and are gentle on hair.

Polyester: Known for its durability, polyester offers a comfortable fit and is a great choice for swimmers with sensitive skin.

Swim Hat Co offers a wide selection of materials to suit every swimmer’s preference, ensuring you find the right fit for your needs.

Swim Hat Co specializes in Printed Swimming Caps that cater to the unique needs of teams, brands, and individual swimmers. Customization options allow you to add text, logos, or graphics to create a one-of-a-kind swim hat. Here’s why customization can make all the difference:

Team Unity and Professionalism: For swim teams, custom Printed Swimming Caps with team logos promote unity and help create a professional image during meets and competitions.

Memorable Branding: For swim events or sponsored teams, customized hats provide an opportunity for branding and visibility, ensuring your logo stands out in the water.

Special Events and Gifts: Custom hats make fantastic keepsakes or gifts for swim team members, special events, or commemorations of achievements.

With Swim Hat Co’s expertise in high-quality printing, you’re guaranteed vibrant, long-lasting designs that maintain their appearance even after extensive use.

Tips for Caring for Your Swim Hat and Printed Swimming Caps

To ensure your Swim Hats and Printed Swimming Caps last, it’s important to care for them properly. Here are a few tips to keep your swim hats in excellent condition:

Rinse After Each Use: After each swim, rinse your cap with fresh water to remove chlorine, salt, and other chemicals that can weaken the material over time.

Air Dry: Let your hat air dry completely before storing it to avoid mold or mildew. Avoid wringing out the cap, as this can damage the material.

Avoid Sharp Objects: Store your hat in a safe place away from sharp objects that could puncture or tear it.

Handle Custom Caps with Care: For Printed Swimming Caps, avoid excessive stretching or folding that could distort or wear out the design.

By following these steps, you can extend the life of your Swim Hats and keep them looking vibrant.
