GAZEBO 00? : The Trials and Tribulations of the Design Process

@erb: Oftentimes I have an idea that sits in limbo for months because I can't figure out how to finish it. I have a tendency to require myself to search for near-perfection for each design before considering it complete and sharing it with the public. What I'm really looking for, more than the absolute perfect solution to every problem, is a gut feeling. Usually there are many different versions of a design that could produce a beautiful or eye-catching or interesting result, but unless it gives me that gut feeling, I have a hard time accepting that it's finished.

Where my Art comes from - Part 1

@paolobeneforti: I'm working on a couple of new projects. I'll talk about it in a few days, I think. What I'm trying to write now is an inventory of images that influenced my art. I know that my style - good or bad - is made of a little list of effects that I learn to use.

Photography: Capturing Water

@deveerei: My photo above was captured with a Fujifilm X-A3 mirrorless camera with a kit lens (XC 16-55mm). I used manual settings for this shot. The image size is big at 6000px by 4000px so I'm gonna split up this image into 4 quadrants so you can see more details on it.

3D rendering - thought process and professional workflow explained (Resteem & Get Steem!)

@crypto3d: 3D rendering in Architectural Visualization 101: What is it? Who needs it? How is it done? Using an on-going project from Oceania, I'll be taking you through the very basics of the job, all the way to delivery.

[오늘 툰] 말도 안되는 이야기의 축복 [Today Toon] The blessing of a ridiculous story

@tata1: When I was very young ... Maybe a while ago I heard a story with my little brother. Was I maybe four years old? My brother was eight years old.

My First Month on Steemit in Review

@jeffbernst: I didn’t really know what to expect when I got started on Steemit last month, but I’m so happy with how things have turned out. Starting on January 3rd I posted every weekday through the end of the month. I wasn’t expecting to publish this often honestly, but it has become kind of addicting. 🙂 This post is a quick overview of how my first month went, and what I'm hoping to accomplish during my second month.

Space X, Blockchain and Andrei Tarkovsky

@monomyth: Elon Musk's company, Space X, sent a sports car to the distance. Of course not the purpose, it was a flight test. Musk wants to colonize Mars. Bitcoin is constantly falling and some ICOs are really ponzi. So, what are their connections with Andrei Tarkovsky?

[오늘의 English 단어] #46. 칠면조는 차갑게 먹어야 제 맛? - Cold Turkey (feat. 소오름)

@bree1042: They say "Revenge is a dish best served cold." But do you know what else is best served cold, too? Cold turkey! Today's English expression is "cold turkey". Cold turkey means to quit something (usually addictive substances) abruptly altogether.

Should you quit social media?

@kenan1989: People are spending so much time on social media nowadays and they should know that social media creates false reality. If people aware of that they spend so much time on social media, they could use their time more efficiently. I hope you like my post.

Is It Possible to Possess Ideas, Thoughts, Or Other Mental Processes? Is Mental Property Ethical? Let’s Get Metaphysical!

@fingersik: Is it possible to own ideas, thoughts and so on? Finding the answer is seemingly hard, but from the point of view of an Information scientists, it’s actually not so much. All we need is one (up until now) incontrovertible epistemology vastly adopted by information scientists.

The Future of Blockchain... Social Dynamics?

@dougkarr: Have you ever thought about where blockchain technology is going to be in 5 years? 10 years? 20 years? In part 2 of @andrarchy and my BlockVersal document-series interview, Tim Galebach, a co-founder of @blockmason, thinks that within the next 5 years there are going to be several applications that verify the attributes of people and enable new forms of social dynamics.

How Honeybees Make Honey: A brief discussion on how liquid gold is formed

@jassennessaj: In my last talk about the fascinating world of honey and honeybees, we talked about the historical context of it. Now, I would love to move on and talk about how it is made? Have you ever wondered how honey is made? How do they do it? How many bees does it take? I will try to answer these questions pertaining to "How honeybees make honey"

The Precious Egg: Toy Idea

@leaky20: The article outlines a toy idea that centers around this notion that kids could get a sense of accomplishment from protecting a very fragile object that belongs to them. Protect your Precious Egg, cherish it, compete with your friends and brag about your accomplishment.

Lessons Learnt From Defending A Proposal & Writing Your First Post On Steemit

@alvinauh : This post provides ideas as to how someone can write better on steemit, especially if it's their first post. The lessons are based on an academic proposal defence. This is similar to a sales pitch as well.

Green Open Space for Civilized Life

@ayijufridar: Green open spaces not only have ecological functions, but many other functions such as social and cultural (modern art activities are getting closer to nature such as music, drama, and poetry reading). There are also aesthetic functions such as stimulating the creativity and productivity of citizens.

You Need to Join the New Blockchain Music Economy Before Its Too Late

@heymattsokol: You can stick with the traditional methods of music monetization, or you can tap into the massive opportunity of blockchain technology. The choice is up to you. This post was my most popular of the week, earning 130 views in its first four days.

Thank you so much guys :) Let's power-up more 💪

I haven’t even finished this and it seems one of the best posts I’ve ever seen. Will try to get through everything and everyone linked. Seems to have taken so much real work to get this post up. Alx

I mean, I commented three minutes after post, as part of skimming when I start my day, but at the very start of the day, I do not immediately try to dive deep into the depths of a long sandbox post!

Thanks @sndbox for sharing these informative articles.

The sndbox Incubator is doing a great job, I am glad that you guys are supporting these steemians a lot for their quality contents. I wanna be a part of @sndbox incubator the next session in May.

Keep it up and keep supporting Steemit and Steemians!

Getting back from my business trip and i find THIS? Felling so lucky right now!

People, this collection is truly amazing. Thank you VERY MUCH.

The posts in these weekly updates are consistently fantastic! I'm probably going to spend the next few days reading through them all, just like last time...

We are a group of Chinese Steem users working together to author a Chinese book about Steem. We have about 40 Stemians cooperating to write this book. I would like to know whether we can get support from @sndbox for this project.

The book will be open source. We upload all our work to GitHub: https://github.com/pzhaonet/steem-guides
and post our progress at @steemh

Best regards
