I just finished writing an article about working with #wildclay terra sigillata that’ll be out in The Studio Potter, March 1. This is one of my favorite examples I shared: Light-green #clay sample from Abiquiu, NM, refined to terra sig, painted on two test tiles, one fired to cone 04 (left) and the other fired to cone 6 (right). The iron in the clay oxidizes and reveals itself as dark red at a lower temp, then melts & vitrifies into a green glaze at a higher temp. #alchemy #experimentation
"Every single opportunity is always within the margin of possibility!" - Futurist Jim Carroll
When the World Bank invited me to keynote on the future of manufacturing, they made one thing crystal clear: they wanted me to flip the script - paint of picture of opportunity, not disruption. Think about it - in the industry, everyone's been talking about disruption, what I could call "automation anxiety," global competition, new young upstarts, and relentless volatility - aka economic whiplash.
But here's the thing - despite all the big change trends on the horizon, they're rocket fuel for those who know how to harness them. With that in mind, I just put together a little Website that details my manufacturing keynotes - the type of thing I did for this group. It's over at https://manufacturing.jimcarroll.com. I highlight these trends at the top of the page:
“Collapsing product lifecycles. Artificial intelligence. The connectivity of the Industrial Internet of Things. Mass customization. Digitization, robotics, and the cloud. Design based on crowd thinking. Rapid prototyping and deployment. Faster time to market. 3D printing / additive manufacturing. Are you ready for the new world of manufacturing?”
As a manufacturing executive or engineer, you could look at all those things and see a threat - but the real magic is if you instead see them as opportunities. I don't know if you have ever looked at it, but check one of the highlighted images on the home page of my Web site.
That's the essence of my thinking, and that's what I shared at this event and many others.
My manufacturing keynote description goes as follows:
----
While popular media and opportunistic politicians portray a picture of a sector in crisis, smart manufacturing executives are furiously busy with innovation, reinventing their capabilities, processes, and business models using advanced ideas, materials, methodologies, and technologies.
The reality of manufacturing today is that there is a big opportunity that comes from aligning with fast-paced trends. What a time for innovation opportunity, and for insight from a great keynote that really puts all of these trends into perspective.
---
All of the trends sweeping the manufacturing sector represent an opportunity. They represent possibilities for reinvention, transformation, and innovation. And they are out there, just waiting to be grabbed. They are within the margin of possibility.
Do you have the same mindset?

La CPN 29, c'est aussi un tiers lieu ouvert aux acteurs de la coopération, de l'innovation et du partage dans l'éducation. #ApprentissageParLesPairs, #expérimentation #ProjetPédagogiqueNumérique
@millerebonds @Greguti Corinne Morel Darleux propose une vision audacieuse : un ministère de l'expérimentation sociale et politique. En doublant les institutions existantes, elle souhaite créer des structures autogérées qui répondent aux besoins réels des citoyens. Ce double pouvoir pourrait incarner une véritable révolution démocratique, favorisant l'innovation et la participation citoyenne.

My wife grabbed me another Japanese Maple leaf on the way out of our great-niece’s birthday party this past weekend, thinking it’d make a nice subject for some scanography. She was right.

“KEY POINTS
• Observations of vortex-trapped grains suggest delayed settling of advected grains, as well as delayed advection of grains mobilized from the bed
• Quantitative comparisons of vortex-trapped sand grains compared well with theoretical formulations by Nielsen (1992, https://doi.org/10.1142/1269) for a forced vortex
• Improved understanding of vortex trapping effects on sediment dynamics may decrease uncertainty in large-scale coastal model predictions..."

@freeschool@qoto.orgHomemade / DIY Music - collaboration reasons and potential (Fun, testing and experimentation to allow working on each other's things)...
@punishmenthurts
Yes I agree with most of what you said too and you can assumed that I knew, but at the same time the idea is more like you said "something to work on" to surprise ourself while mostly not expecting much but upgrade / try something from time to time with each other DIY / homemade style.
No matter what the quality - it's from me / you which is worth gold and it's on away from copyright stealing).
Actually my tempo was out / could have adjusting it but realised I was spending too much time so with right beat and tempo actually you were on point enough and yes can always redo it but I didn't even tweak much. There are also free instrumentals you can match which would give your lyrics a good boost like you meant to do it that way. Instrumentals are plenty with attribution / 
etc
Also as a kind of acceptance to make popular our own material and train the acceptance of "it's my own quick made" has it's own quality and respect:
- no expensive kit
- production team
- paying for studio time
(fuck all that to some extent)
... while managing to pump out a final product at the end of an hour or two is quite it's own achievement that is fairly understandable for it's lyrics or whatever "save the world message" / autism world support etc / (whatever it is).
By populating homemade from time to time it's also making others think it's possible while not over-filling it - look at all this political and youtube.com/google links... but yours is a small video non-commercial...
I like that you had it temporary or on request too and sent it to me which ticks more boxes for it to be personal or repost it so it comes up on timeline again. So many things might be invisibly good once you're comfortable in yourself.
I may need to clarify but overall if it's from you and me (and gives Fediverse a half-chance) then interesting things can happen without too much expectation, just some samples and a bit of upgrade / increment / remix gives chance WHILE yeah not worrying about overdoing it to be perfect (I liked the original and accpeted it)... it's a bit of practical example while being almost disposable if you want like a test of self-creation together..
A way to get someone else pro or autistic is to do it and for them to say "I can do better than that" and surprise you...
I appreciate it's your material and no need for it to go anywhere (would you add if it's Creative Commons? For example CC-BY-SA-NC <--- assuming you know it otherwise I'll explain creative works without commercial permission)
I like the idea you have a basic nice home feel with background and is sort of home-made-mediocre feel because that's what we do with friends at home.
OK too many points... but we out here have energy you can galvanise :)
Personally I think I / we've been hooked on hollywood production far too long (even loading up youtube instead of playing music in person to ourselves) which actually is like losing culture a bit and even restricting our creativity with devices not instruments and not allowing others to explore OUR OWN material. So with a bit of permission it can go fatr privately first since DM's are quite private and then release what we like from ourselves and give credit and you'd be surprise to see your follow and comment go up.
Many levels here... a lot of people autistic can see opportunity but need help to improve / experiment... So I'd thank you if you'd let me continue (even though I have no further idea unless you're adding any idea on top).
RE: forming "a band"
If I observe right - we all love doing - bit it's alone stuff and "now is the time" to get together a bit more )accepting my humble proposition) to save ourselves and give each other opportunity in having some creative fun (like a band you were saying you like) from time to time and stop giving to the world anytime you like...

Using #flowers cut from my wife's garden beds in front of the house to experiment with #scanography, after seeing some excellent examples of it at a gallery show I was a part of this past weekend. This was the most successful of the experiments. Using the scanner is easy; arranging the still life is the tricksy part.
I have a few ideas in mind. That probably make things tricksier, because me.
@frayoshi@qoto.orgI was rendering a project on #DavinciResolve, when I decided to raise the #CPU #scheduler from #schedutil to #performance.
Interesting how the #GPU utilization went up the exact moment I've done it, and remained high afterward!
CPU: threadripper 2950X, quad-channel DDR4 @3.6 Ghz
GPUs: nvidia 3060+3070
GPU affected: only the 3070.
