1/14, Wednesday. It's supposed to be sunny, so I decided to go to Tiger before my 11am meeting.
Took the bus hoping to catch sunrise over Lake Washington, but alas, none. All cloudy.
It turns out that 1) the clouds didn't dissipate until I came down to the high school; 2) I was half-an-hour too slow to make it back to the community center (with WiFi); 3) the drinking fountain was out of service, so I had to fill tap water.
The only good thing is that 1) it forced me to wake up at normal hours, 2) very few people on the trail.
Blue sky as I was riding the bus back to Seattle!
In the evening,
Internet Development Studio hosted two recent UW graduates (~24 year-old):
Debhorah Chu the ownder of her lifestyle social channel
dobochobo, and Murat Akyuz the co-founder of
Toasted, a bagel sandwich shop.
Debhorah creates homey cozy short videos about her life, first a student life in the zoom lecture era, then her travel, now life style. She talked about keeping her video authentic, and fun.
Murat shoots video of his bagel shop, telling the story of their struggle of a small store owner.
Their first store (got broken-in 4 times, permitting problem) took 2 years to prepare.
When it finally opened, the line was out of the door, and around the block, most from their followers.
He talked about keeping more record (for future videos), building a community (to forge solidarity with their customers), select of thumnails.
Both are very likeable. Kudos!
1/16-17, 1-4pm.
Another Salon Studio.
We were given a block of clay, a shaping wooden tool, knife, and a wooden stand with wire.
Our model is 3 photos of some kestrel.
Towards the end of first day, our birds were taking shape.
The 2nd afternoon is just making it better.
The lady behind me put a hat on to her bird.
Another one's bird had many horns.
Most are like me, trying to make it realistic.
See mine, vs. our instructor's work.
