Talk about what brings you happiness these days.
One thing that brings me happiness is creating abstract artwork in old school Photoshop 5.5 using the Kai's Power Tools plug-in called Texture Explorer. Before the pandemic I was thinking of resurrecting my Titanium G4 Powerbook from 2001 and running some of the KPT visionary software that has since been abandoned. The entire process of getting the computer working in the first place made me pretty happy, and now I create a few of these cellular landscapes each day, listening to music and getting lost in the process. They each take about an hour because the CPU processing is limited to 68K and there's a lot of waiting, but it's worth it. I create them and they remind me of the way we have all changed in the past year, how we have become more aware of living life on a molecular level with differing influences as we change our behavior. I'm trying to make that awareness beautiful.

Talk about what you think the world will be like after the pandemic is over.
I am not sure the world will change that much. I mean, the economy will be destroyed, and young people will suffer a year of bad education and too much screen time. But I don't think that people will refrain from hugging or that there will be more social distance than before. on the contrary, from what I see around me, people want to hug each other even more than before. still, the anxious people will have more virus-related anxieties, and we will see more books and movies on pandemics, disasters, and agoraphobia.
