Happy cartoon bear face pareidolia in my coffee today.
Barista said it looked like Olaf from Frozen. I was thinking a Care Bear, because that was our age gap.

I don't normally make New Years Resolutions™ because if you want to make an important change you should just do that when you can.
But this year I want to remember that my keyboard has a USB port and audio jack in the side and I should probably get around to using them six years after the purchase.

The Crow Pool moss terrarium.
I 3D printed a logie elphinstone with knots and ogham characters, cast some resin for the first time for the pool, and 3D printed the crow.
Three years ago, I had a funky dream in which I turned into a crow after looking into my reflection in a pool of water.

One of the best things about playing games on the #c64ultimate is that I get to empathize with my younger self because some of the games are still too confusing and difficult.

"Look, that rabbit's got a vicious streak a mile wide!"
I made a Rabbit of Caerbannog moss terrarium.
I might need to 3D print the Holy Hand Grenade of Antioch now...

The reason you don't see shag carpet anymore is that they were hunted to extinction in the 70s and the trade for their valuable hide collapsed overnight.

Was talking to a guy yesterday at #Teardown2025 about cyberpunk since he saw my author's copy of The Big Book of Cyberpunk. He said he gets depressed reading dystopian stories. I said I feel the same way when I read the news.
