Monday, we were joined by a visiting designer/art director, Jeffrey, and we retain Brian, former M'er/advisor, for the rest of the week. Above, we are discussing how to package up the pie event.
Here are some promo clips for our project:

PieroMainea went very well. We attracted a great crowd, we all ate pie together, we all had fun.

Pies of Mass Destruction
 |
Above is one of the things I did all day. You can see some of our efforts starting to take shape at http://pieromainea.org. No big photo album today, too busy. Also, I thought everyone would enjoy a completely unrelated drawing, below.

On Day 3 of Project M, PIEromaniacs United
 |
We met at the nice house Wednesday. We were pretty bummed by 5pm, we felt we were never going to create a project that would fulfill us. After enough beer, we had an idea by 9pm that is really going to rock. Pies + Fire = Awesome.
See more pics from today, below.

Does the Winnebago Come with it?
 |
Above, cool rust streaks. Today, we met Farmers' Fare, whose goal is to bring hope and joy to people through food. An interesting concept, they are approaching it from the opposite angle of a typical business. We also walked the streets and met the community today.

A Shameless Plug for Project M
 |
Project M officially began today. Above, you see the Project M team in our workspace at the Waterfall Arts Center, Belfast, Maine.
Today, we met the people that founded the New Forest Institute, and learned about their initiative to bring agriculture (permaculture) back to the masses... particularly in suburban and urban areas. They aim to educate people and build a growing community of personal farmers who grow their own food (or some portion of it) and do it in a sustainable way. They have some cool ideas about what forest ecosystems can teach us about making abundant crops easily without chemicals or ridiculous amounts of management.

Soda Bubbles, and How They Attach to the Glass
 |
I was asked why the water bubbles in my previous post aren't flat on one side where they are attached to the side of the glass.
The bubbles you see above were photographed in a glass of Sprite; sugary carbonated beverage. I shot a bunch of photos of these bubbles, which were larger than the ones available in a glass of water. Only one-ish of the photos was focused in a way that shows the pad of bubble attached to the side of the glass. I'm guessing that it's a hard thing to get spot on focus with since I've seen it so rarely.
Clearly, you can see that these bubbles are not merely half spheres hanging out in there. Rather, they are complete spheres with a little bit attached to the glass, holding it in place. And the attachment is not simply flat, but kind of veiny and weird. Perhaps that structure is what creates a sort of suction that holds the bubble in place.

Bubbles in Water
 |
These teensy tiny bubbles were stuck to the side of my glass of water. Not a carbonated beverage, which tends to have larger bubbles, these are the result of water sloshing around while filling the glass.
They're very small, ranging from about a half to a whole millimeter each. I am particularly pleased with how silvery and metallic they look, refracting everything through them they look like highly reflective orbs. If I had been setting up the shot more carefully (this was just a drive by shooting), I would have placed something with an interesting pattern behind them for a really cool effect. I'll do that in a future photo and post the result.
Just a program note, I will be heading off to Project M Sunday, so I may or may not be posting for the next two weeks. Depends on my availability and connectivity, of course. Should be a great experience.

World's Largest Bellybutton Fuzz
 |
Not bellybutton fuzz. I lied for effect.
However, this being my first post in a week, breaking my very impressive streak of posting multiples a week since November, I decided to continue taking liberties with the trust of my readers. This fuzz is not of the bellybutton. No.
This sucker came from the dryer's lint catch. Apparently we own more red, blue, green and purple clothing than we knew. It doesn't look like that going through the closet. The generally heavy pink cast of the Great Fuzz® above is due to the girls' wardrobe, I'm sure.
Check out how gnarly those little fibers are. Interesting how they mesh to make something that looks generally grey at normal magnification. The big long pieces are strands of dog fur, I'm pretty sure, black and white, like Dashie.
