Past attempts to get better at

Retro

Stuff that feels like it was created in 1962

Clever

An interesting idea well executed.

Parsimonious insider

Things that convey a LOT to those who are "in the know"

Skys

Shenandoah Skies.

Maritime

Images of boats/sea metaphors. Love. I have a Melville soul:
Whenever I find myself growing grim about the mouth; whenever it is a damp, drizzly November in my soul; whenever I find myself involuntarily pausing before coffin warehouses, and bringing up the rear of every funeral I meet; and especially whenever my hypos get such an upper hand of me, that it requires a strong moral principle to prevent me from deliberately stepping into the street, and methodically knocking people's hats off—then, I account it high time to get to sea as soon as I can. This is my substitute for pistol and ball. With a philosophical flourish Cato throws himself upon his sword; I quietly take to the ship.

Lines

High, contrast, fractal-like lines. Love.
