Slept from nine-thirty to six.
Woke briefly around two.
High of fifty-six and rainy today.
Work:
- Set up cron jobs, esp. backup on workstation
No.
- Raspberry Pi bulletin board ("posterpi")
Done.
Ah, Chromium does support a kiosk mode, although `--kiosk` flag isn't documented.
Also, it only starts in kiosk mode if no other instance of Chromium is running; otherwise, it just opens a new normal window.
Twenty-five-minute walk at lunch.
Saw robins and a blue jay.
Not rainy — it's pleasant and mostly sunny.
The daffodils have bloomed.
Home:
- Pick up prescription at Meijer (and buy deodorant, bar soap)
Done (yesterday).
- Clean for D&D tomorrow

> An artist [Dan Robbins] who created the first paint-by-numbers pictures and helped turn the kits into an American sensation during the 1950s has died. He was 93.
> Robbins was working as a package designer for the Palmer Paint Company in Detroit when he came up with the idea for paint-by-numbers in the late 1940s. He said his inspiration came from Leonardo da Vinci.
> “I remembered hearing that Leonardo used numbered background patterns for his students and apprentices, and I decided to try something like that,” Robbins said in 2004
> Robbins, who spent much of his life in the Detroit area, was modest about his work and didn’t get too bothered by those who mocked the paintings.
> “I never claim that painting by number is art,” he said. “But it is the experience of art, and it brings that experience to the individual who would normally not pick up a brush, not dip it in paint. That’s what it does.”
