Atmosphere
I usually listen to music to provide some background noise (helpful with kids in the house), but sometimes music is still a bit too much of a distraction. White noise helps there, so I did some poking around and found Noisli, which is great. Then I realized (naturally) that I could fairly easily make my own local version, no network access required.
It’s called Atmosphere, a Python script that takes a config file like this:
# Sound path
/path/to/that/directory/with/sound/files
# Volumes (>1 = louder, <1 = quieter)
# Don't include extension
brook 0.3
crickets 0.9
fireplace 1.2
forest_rain 1.1
thunder1 1.3
thunder2 1.3
waves 0.05
wind 1.2
And then mixes the looped audio together via Sox. The current version isn’t perfect at all — it can use more CPU than I’d like, and I think it might work better as a menu bar application than as a command-line script — but it works. I’ve been using it for several months now.
Come, Follow Me reader’s edition
Just released the Come, Follow Me reader’s edition. It’s an experimental supplemental edition of the Book of Mormon:
As for what it actually is: it’s a set of web pages with the text of the Book of Mormon grouped into the Come, Follow Me sections, and it’s reparagraphed sans verse numbers like my normal reader’s edition.
I have no idea whether it’s actually useful or not, but it was quick enough to make that I figured I may as well just do it. Let me know what you think.

Also, this one wasn’t digital. (Acrylic on canvas board.) Definitely a different experience.
New artwork: Mine Angels Round About You.
Two new pieces of art: Pressing Forward (from Lehi’s vision) and New and Everlasting.
New artwork: The Millennium.
New artwork: Before the World Was. I wrote a DrawBot script to generate the circles and randomly distribute them, then textured it in Photoshop.
New artwork: To Save Us All. On this one I decided to go back to clean lines, rather than the distressed lines I’ve largely been using for the last long while.
