Tried out making forged carbon fiber parts. It’s tricky, but satisfying.

I’m going to take up smoking today! Does that count? Maybe drinking. Or both.
SIGH

I really need to start knitting again.

I’ve committed to being perma-stoned for the next 4 years. That should be fun.

Started doing a bit of recreational videogame development.

I’ve started a new hobby of carving 印章 (yìnzhāng or seals or so-called “chops”). They’re those red things that you see on Chinese calligraphy and paintings. I got a beginner’s set of tools and practice stones on Sunday, and found time today to make my first attempt.

Which I naturally botched.

But it’s easy to undo your mistakes with a very coarse grit grinding pad followed by a fine grit sandpaper, so I’m all set up to try again possibly tomorrow. I expect to have my first chop that’s not a complete embarrassment ready to photograph by the end of the weekend.

I rediscovered comics books via privacy enabled by foss apps on Android.

Some of the storylines for mainline comics have gotten weird.

Kotatsu is probably the best, has a lot of sources built in and you can add more relatively easily.
