My first blog post was inspired by a talk I attended on 3D modelling by @DEJPett for @BL_Labs, back in 2018 in the age of pre-Covid innocence. I talk a bit about multidimensionality in OE texts, and how 3D modelling could (and should!) impact our field: saywhatiamcalled.co.uk/3d-di…

I took a phone call today to be a reference for a former coworker. I was 100% prepared for their rote questions and then her new manager completely blindsided me. “What feedback could you give me to be the best manager for her I could be?”
