Bushwick was once one of the country’s major beer-making centers. At one point before Prohibition, 10% of all beer produced in the United States originated in Brooklyn, and the majority of it was from Bushwick. Now, for the first time in 40 years, a new brewery will open in the neighborhood. Kings County Brewers Collective will be the first to make beer in Bushwick since Schaefer.

Medieval Fonts
Medieval script tells time, although usually not very precisely. Take for example the 3 major script families from the medieval period: Caroline minuscule, Pregothic script, and Littera textualis or Gothic script.
Despite the fact that these 3 families are relatively easy to distinguish and identify, they were used for extensive periods of time: Caroline from c. 800 to c. 1050, Pregothic from c. 1050 to c. 1250, and Gothic from c. 1250 to c. 1500. In other words, merely identifying the family of handwriting is not enough to pinpoint when precisely a book was made.

Do psychedelics make you weird?
the explanation that weird people gravitate toward psychedelics, even in the sciences, is a strong one. But it’s sufficient that I am hesitant to repeat the common view that psychedelics are not at all dangerous, or that they have no permanent side effects. There seems to me at least a moderate chance that they will make you more interesting without your consent – whether that is a good or a bad thing depends on exactly how interesting you want to be.
D&D maps
So here I’m collecting all my maps so you don’t have to dig through the whole archive of blog posts to find them. They are presented in reverse chronological order, starting with the most recent maps and then proceeding into older and older examples of my work. I’ve also included a legend of the majority of the mapping symbols used throughout these maps (well, mostly the overhead maps – the side-views are pretty much the same and/or self-evident I hope).

Desert irrigation
A series of canals brought the water, trapped underground, to the areas where it was needed; anything left was stored in surface reservoirs. To help keep it moving, chimneys were excavated above the canals in the shape of corkscrewing funnels. These funnels let wind into the canals, which forced the water through the system.
