Rudy Rucker's Blog

Time to catch up on my photos. Here’s May and June, 2025. A lot happened. Here I am in North Beach with Barb, back in May. Love the display sign of a big fish!   Fab four-color fan. Usually I line myself up so that the horizontals and verticals are straight, but this time I […]

Getting fully caught up now. It’s all about the images. Great winding stabile Richard Setta sculpture at the Stanford art museum. Those hyperbolic trianglges and the clouds, the digital and the fractal, ahhh. Nature is the best designer.  We try and do random designs, but we can’t match Gaia. Natural shapes have an inner “logos” […]

In January, 2025, my girlfriend Barb Ash and I took a two-week trip to Quintana Roo and the Yucatan in Mexico. I only got around to finishing this post on April 28, 2025. And note that a few of the photos are by Barb. The hand of the woman sitting in front of me on […]

Barb and I went to Mexico for a couple of weeks in January, 2025, on the Yucatan peninsula. I’ll blog some photos from there later, but today I want to write about this trip we just took to visit with my daughter Isabel in Fort Bragg, up in northern California, on the coast near Mendocino. […]

The post Isabel’s “Time Ecosystem” first appeared on Rudy's Blog.

March 7, 2025. My daughter  Isabel Rucker had an art show on “The Time Ecosystem“at the one-of-a-kind Larry Spring Museum in Fort Bragg, California. Larry Spring was what you might call a folk scientist and an outsider artist. For Isabel’s show, she formed fresh ideas about  notions of time, and how they mix together.  She […]

In late September, 2024, Barb and I went to Lowlands for two and half weeks. This means Amsterdam, Brussels, and Antwerp. All are places I know fairly well. While we where there, my camera got stolen, so I don’t have all that many images—the ones I have are from my phone. Beyond the Lowlands trip, […]

For this image, I pasted a sample from from one of my paintings onto an AI image of a writer and a robot. It’s me writing my novel Software in 1980, right? And my muse is Ralph Numbers, or Cobb Anderson, or my father, Embry Rucker, Sr. As I compose today’s post, it’s March, 2025. […]

And now came bad news from Louisville. My big brother Embry was suddenly dying of cancer. It came on very quickly. I flew back to Louisville, with my son Rudy Jr. along, and we had a chance to say our goodbyes to Embry. He was very weak. It was good to be together. I held […]
