10am and on. Stumbling the pitfalls of distributed project management - and technology getting into way of planning because the right things simply don't happen out of the blue. Also: The comfort of being able to afford a strategy of watching in astonishment. And, wondering whether asking certain basic questions would make things better or worse.

For the first time in a long while I have had time for some casual monster painting.

Today I was editing all the illustrations for the Professor Otagburuagu book because I had made a mistake when setting up the template. It have taken all day. After that I just needed some time off... so I made this peculiar painting.
Incubo means nightmare in Italian - I am sort of an expert in nightmares.

How Facebook is saving snakes. Ok, well, ostensibly this article is about snakes and Facebook -- turns out Facebook is good for something, who knew? -- but the part that struck me was the part about nightmares.
"Allison Hollier, 56, a geographic information systems analyst in Burleson, Tex., had nightmares every night for the six weeks that a six-foot broad-banded water snake (Nerodia fasciata, nonvenomous) occupied her koi pond before she could have it relocated. Then she joined the North Texas group at a friend's suggestion, and her snake dreams became 'nonexistent,' she says. The desensitization and understanding she gained by looking at the page every day 'does work,' she says. 'I'm living proof.'"
"'I've felt that fear and fascination are kind of tied together in the human psyche, kind of the same thing,' herpetologist Mark Pyle says based on his experiences with people who are scared of snakes. 'If you put the knowledge there, that turns fear into fascination.'"
So, to summarize what we just read, unknown + threatening == nightmares. And apparently, even if you don't change the "threatening" part of the equation, changing the "unknown" part of the equation can get nightmares to go away.
