Wrapped up another term of teaching at ArtCenter this week. Didn’t have a regular class this fall but hosted two labs to help upcoming grads build their portfolio websites. I always enjoy getting to work with the students right before they enter the industry when they’re in the process of defining themselves and what they want.

Made it up Germantown Ave to visit the Woodmere for the first time a few weeks ago. They’ve done a really good job keeping the museum connected to Philly’s contemporary art scene, much more than I expected going in. 🎨

Great weekend in NW Philly celebrating everything Mt Airy Saturday night and the installation of our new pastor at our church on Sunday!

Happy Philaversary to us. There were several moments last year when I thought we were insane for moving back to the beltway with three kids and two dogs in tow but it has absolutely been the best thing for our family.

Started using Micro.blog’s ability to participate in Mastodon today after talking to some people about it at breakfast and I have to say I’m impressed with how seamlessly it’s been working so far.
