Theres a funny quip in one those Captain Harlock cartoons, like the very first episode. The little kid has a gun pointed at Harlock, intending to claim the bounty. Harlock's crewman is making rice and curry or whatever over a campfire. They both try to persuade the kid to lower the gun. Kids hungry and sees the bounty as a jackpot.

Anyway, kid eventually caves and takes the food. Food looks great too, really deliciously animated and hes just woofing it down.

But hes a critic and theres this quip:

"It doesnt even have the brown bits on the bottom. Its not rice without the brown bits".

And thats always stuck with me. Im a midwestern american, and Ive been around, but I never thought that this line was anything more than personal preference or some kinda characterization of the kid only having homecooked meals.

Really cool

Question: You created an app which shares visual information, what is your perspective on medical illustration and its role in communication?

Anecdote:

Just a massive personal thank you. About 2 years ago, I decided to change my career.

I'm working full time, taking classes and will be applying to grad school for biomedical visualization/medical illustration. Your app has helped me immensely.

I've been able to completely change my illustration and have found endless material to translate and study through your app.

thank you!

thanks for the reply! Ive found that illustrations often bridge a gap in communication where words or photos fail. information can be transmitted without any pretense of gore or repulsion. it's kindve mechanical in a way, allowing someone to focus on the concept of the parts and relationships being illustrationed.

do you think that this relationship can be used in your app? to create a conversation with more information

So was this really just a trick to get close to Eva Green?

What are your plans for expansion and up keep? Do you train people on site to maintain or will they have to rely upon someone making a journey to investigate issues? I imagine there is liability and tons of other problems with training someone locally for grid maintenance
