@wtg interesting! Good luck to them!

I’ve seen photos of coconut crabs. Terrifying creatures!!

You’ll probably be more pissed when you discover (if you didn’t know) that every time you do a captcha you’ve been training google’s self driving car software (Waymo).

I’ve heard about this but never really read anything official. As you say though, it’s a very clever way to do the training!

@bernard i am another person who has avoided smart home appliances. I hate to think that at some point in the not so distant future, something will break and we won’t be able to avoid replacing it with a smart device.

@Steve-Miller Lovely! The lights inside the cabinets make it extra nice!

Deeply

@Rontuner nice!

That's fodder for @kluurs thread....

You're probably right...

Here is a pic of the wall where it would go. There's already red there, in that fabric hanging. Although that could come down in the future, I keep going back and forth as to what I think about it

Anyway, I've wanted something horizontal on that wall above the TV for a while now.

(don't come at me for my knick knack shelf....

the signature

Yes it's the signature.

@Rontuner I bet that looks nice! And they all come on automatically?

Yummy! Apple pie is a favorite of mine and Mr SK’s.

And yes, those photos are amazing!

@ShiroKuro Oh, I didn't realize there was a gold border. A mat would cover that up. Maybe mount it on a background with a plain black frame?

Yes, this is the direction I think I’m going in…

Need to discuss the mounting/adhesive question with Mr SK though.

I wouldn’t want to do that because you would have to actually mount the calligraphy board to the wood and then it wouldn’t be removable.

Speaking of which… I wonder if there’s a way to have it be placed in a traditional frame/mat set up without using adhesive. Shoot. I hadn’t thought of that.

Thanks for that link @wtg ! It’s super helpful to see all those different types.

My eye went to this right away:

Not only because of the red mat and black frame but because it’s in front of a very neutral wall color. I can’t decide if I like it or not but it would give a little more color with that red mat….

Edit: I actually kind of like how the piece looks on the wood table you have it on.

I do too! (That’s our coffee table)

Would it be possible to have it mounted on a piece of beautiful wood somehow? Not a typical frame and no glass.

Unfortunately, I wouldn’t want to do that because you would have to actually mount the calligraphy board to the wood and then it wouldn’t be removable.

The calligraphy was written by someone we know, the person who gave it to us, who’s a well-known martial arts instructor in Japan, so we don’t want to alter it.

Also, although I like the warm wood tones of the table against the calligraphy, our living room has brown wood trim windows, door frames and these accents, I don’t know what to call them, and you can see the cabinets in the kitchen, which are also brown wood.

In that context, I don’t think I want to do a brown wood frame, because there’s too much brown wood around here already.

Probably 20ish battery candles and battery 'twinkle' lights

What is a battery candle? Is it a stick type light like the kind people sometimes put in their windows?

Living room/dining room loft space in a converted candy factory building from the early 1900's..

That sounds like it would make a very cool space!

@RealPlayer I do!

@Mik yeah, I was wondering about bringing out the red or gold.

Also our walls are a cram color, not as yellow as they might seem in the photos, but between the white of the calligraphy and the cream walls, it’s a lot of bland-ness.

I’ll try to share a photo of the wall space tmrw.
