The Blue Ridge Mountains are beautiful. I get to see them several times a year, as my in laws live in Virginia in the Shenandoah Valley. On my last trip me and the boys took a ride along the scenic route to stop and take in the grandeur. The next time you see a “Scenic Overlook” sign on your busy way, try to find the time to stop. Every time I have, it’s been so worth it.

So this is a portrait of my son, David, from a photo of him I took during a trip to Virginia. He’s such a cutie pie, but he’s got an amazingly serious face that he puts on sometimes. I thought this image captured that intense seriousness.

I am ashamed to say that I lost track of who asked for this, but I hope they’ll remind me in the comments, etc. This is one of my favorite birds, with an amazing song, and delightful appearance.

So I thought that today I’d show you another way of using Inkscape — as a workflow design tool, and as a way of working out physical ideas visually in two dimensions. This is the current 7.1 media setup in our living room, though it has not changed much in the last few years. I’m really excited about the new things that are coming up, especially GoogleTV, and so maybe soon I’ll sketch out my new ideal living room media workflow.
