Weeknotes: 12/13/25-12/19/25
This Week:
- This is really my last week before two weeks off for the holiday break. We’re going to Iowa and Toronto, which will hopefully be fun and relaxing.
- If all goes well, Hazel will have her first time in the Decker School of Ballet’s annual performance of “The Nutcracker”. I helped do the load in of the sets and some of the tech set up last Sunday. Alanna has been running a marathon of hair, costumes, and helping backstage. I am so proud of Hazel’s hard work and her willingness to try a new, big thing for the first time. I’m also grateful to Alanna for taking on so much of the responsibility of making this happen.
- I spent the week trying to move a number of projects closer to completion, including our Spring arts camp, some NAGPRA consultation, the Phil Young Residency, and a new exhibit about Edgar Allen Poe.
- Good Things:
- I encountered the bizarro world of Strudel, a music programming language that generates your notations in real time. There’s a browser interface, along with an excellent tutorial. I had a great time poking around in it, and wish I had more time to sit with it!
- True Things:
