- Contributed a Georgian translation to Gridfinity Layout Tool, merged on September 10.
- Completed the first draft of the new Jinny Street Gallery website. Really excited about this one.
- Built an interactive specification page for the gallery’s streetlamp display case, so artists can explore its dimensions and plan their installations.

- Attended Giorgi Nebieridze’s talk at the Tbilisi Photography and Multimedia Museum.
- Watched The Odyssey and really enjoyed seeing it on a big IMAX screen. Not sure I’m going to rewatch it, though.
After the wedding celebration in Tbilisi, I feel like I’m a little past the halfway mark on the insane list of things I decided to do this year. I’m not into astrology in the slightest, but Ludo says it’s the Year of the Fire Horse, and, oh boy, it definitely feels like being strapped to one.
A weight is off my shoulders now that the party at Mutant Radio, one of our favorite places in the city, is behind us. I can slowly ease back into the rhythm of normal life. I miss photo projects, making physical things, and being in a studio. On the software side, though, I’ve been productive, which does keep the creative worm in my brain happy.
I still have a massive project ahead of me: moving out of Tokyo in January and wrapping things up there. For some reason, it doesn’t feel as hard as everything else I’ve done this year. And then there is Paris Photo, which I’m actually excited about. Onward, forward.
