Siliceous and Delicious

Returned to the lovely fifth floor of the ivory tower, I mean the museum, with a much-improved disposition this morning, having finished the horrifying and vastly unpleasant task of geometric-model-making yesterday. The world seemed a friendlier place as I peered onto the melting snow from my vantage point under the eaves of the museum. It didn’t hurt that it’s 43˚ today (read: it’s above freezing), with a forecast high of 54˚.

The next task—which I imagine will take up a good chunk of the day—is to turn the models I’ve come up with into .PGM bitmap files, which the interface will display when I change from one species to another. This is quite a bit more fun. OmniGraffle!

By lunchtime I had made up three of these figures. I managed to make one more in the afternoon, but succumbed to an intense wave of fatigue and actually fell asleep in the office… When I awoke, I decided that this was probably not the most productive time to continue working, so I decided to call it a successful week (geometric models done!) and return to the interface design with a fresh mind and wakeful body after the long weekend.
