Googling my name

Googling my name published on No Comments on Googling my name


Like everyone does, every now and then I Google myself. It’s good to keep track of the image of me that others find, but I also do it to scope out other LeEttas. Most recently my search turned up a result for a babyname database, babycenter.com. Though the entry for LeEtta isn’t fleshed out a meaning, provenance, or variations (of course) it did have an awesome graph of the name’s popularity over time.  It seems like 1938 was the most popular year for LeEtta with 15 babies in a million having that name. By 1989 it’s only 2 per million.

I had some time on my hands a while ago and input the Leetta/LeEtta results of three different census, 1860, 1900, & 1940, into Google Maps. Both the increase in names and the progression west must correlate to population increase and migration, though I haven’t tested for either.

Amazing writing systems

I am currently studying how intellectual property laws can be used to protect Traditional Knowledge – because of course I am – but there was something amazing in my lesson the other day:  Quipus or talking knots.  Quipus were recording devices made of thread or string and knotted to portray meaning and value.  Based on a base ten positional system calendar information, taxes, census records, military organization and more could be recorded and read off of something that looks more like a necklace or body ornament.  Similar systems were used by the Inca, the ancient Chinese and native Hawaiians.

The Wedding Party Comic

The Wedding Party Comic published on No Comments on The Wedding Party Comic

Posting now on the Drawing Board is my short comic: The Wedding Party. When I had originally added the idea to my lists as something that I needed to draw I was calling it the smile jaw monster comic. Like Nightmare (the 25hour comics day comic) it was inspired by a dream that I had. Nightmare was actually several dreams stitched together.   A Trip to Weeki Wachi may have also been inspired by a dream, or a memory that got mixed up with a dream, anyway.  All you jungians now have ample material with which to analyze me.

Anyway, go check out The Wedding Party and tell me what you think, or, just enjoy it, you know.  It’s up to you.

House and Garden plans

House and Garden plans published on No Comments on House and Garden plans


I’ve drawn rooms and layouts for my house since we bought it. These are the most recent focusing on the garden and what I would like for it to do. Whether it will ever look as planned is yet to be seen. We tend to buy small plants, plant in small groups, and then neglect them a little. We don’t have an irrigation system, so growing a garden is slow going.

The back view of the house (second pic) includes the profile as it would be if the current patio were made into a Florida room (because Florida). And the Florida room would look like this:
