Shout out to driving with the cruise control at 25 miles and hour. It's a noteworthy speed because most cruise control will not enable below it, but works perfectly fine right at or slightly above 25. It's the perfect speed to go for a nice sunday drive down a low traffic road.

I also just posted a new art piece I made in kidpix. My hand is cramping from using the imac puck mouse for an hour straight.

Went down a small rabbit hole about these robots from EXPO'85 at Tsukuba designed by Luigi Colani. The entirety of both the expo and Colani's stuff are rabbit holes in their own rights, but the combination of both results in something that feels like it's not within the usual realm of either. And just look into the eyes of the cheerleader robot. That's what that is by the way. That's a cheerleader robot

I kinda envisioned them as deep sea creatures when drawing them in this environment

Some friends and I took a trip last weekend to the next big city over to pick up a free car. One of them was carless and it would improve her specific circumstances if she had one.

It was fun to go on a trip like the ones I used to, and to hang out for a bit of an extended period of time.

I also took the opportunity to hang out with a friend from the city over while we were there. I had known them for years but only ever from over the computer. We didn't get to meet for long (it's hard to stay on schedule when coordinating with so many people srry,) but I'm glad we did.

We talked a bit about the declinding state of the internet and how it forces one to realize nothing is really permanent. They gave me a book before I had to leave that they described as "a really interesting two star book," I've been enjoying reading thru it and their annotations they left, bewildered at the author's decisions.

Writing this under the kotatsu rn. I'm testing a heating mechanism I installed, but it needs a little tweaking in my design.
