    Mahachulalongkornrajavidyalaya University

    January 9, 2022 / 1 Comment

    Otherwise known as MCU, this is the oldest higher education institute for Buddhist monks in Thailand and the main campus is located on the temple grounds of Wat Mahathat Yuwaratrangsarit, one of the ten “royal temples of the highest class” in the country. The length of the name is interesting and is compounded by the choice to leave no spaces between individual words of which the name is comprised. I had to break it down in the following way to make any sort of sense of it, otherwise it just looks like a keyboard accident: Mahachulalongkornrajavidyalaya = Maha / Chulalongkorn / Raja / Vidyalaya Maha = great Chulalongkorn = the…

    Feel Good, Wink

    January 2, 2022 / 3 Comments

    It’s been ages since I posted Mina’s artwork since it’s mostly been going on her own website, but in the past couple of years she’s been drawing on a graphics tablet. Then a few months ago, work gave me an 8th Gen iPad, and I bought a knockoff iPencil and a Procreate license. And this is what’s grown from that: I needed an art example for one of my presentation classes, and this is what she knocked out in (maybe) an hour while I was putting together the rest of the slideshow. Cool!

    …and I sure wouldn’t be able to now! Funny thing is, if you watch the whole video, you’ll see others that did it first and are super low key about it… So the final evolution of this stunt is to do it alone, in the moonlight, with no climbing equipment.
