Today I have it on the mind to place my energies into places where they will be useful. A few fresh topics to mill over in the imagination:
the process of shake swarming bees (a method of dividing colonies before they swarm so as to facilitate their remaining presence in a managed hive), and spending more time in OnShape, with the intention of drawing a high-shock under-board-mountable bubble generator (HSUBMBG) or or BumbleG for short, to enhance the bliss of skateboarding commuters and possibly as a vector for agent spreading (think about it - bubbles go wherever bubbles go, what sorts of wonder might they have in store?).
I also have it on the mind to continue noodling in the interface and throw together instruments - I would really like to get my hands on schemata of a B-footed flute (which apparently exists, somewhere - or at least published data regarding hole sizes and key mechanisms), I like the idea of exploring the clock with its jewel, wheel, spring and capture, as well as peering over gas turbines and meditating on their mettalurgy and transmuting might.
A definitive design goal is to have measurements of the vertices of n-iterated geodesics based on sphere projections of selectable polyhedron. I'm certain there's a paper out there somewhere on it - but it hasn't found its way to me yet.
I have a few songs I'm working on, a few more that I'm tightening up, and a few I have down so well I have literally developed loathing for them.
I have hope for the future, and in the might of the coordinated efforts of good people. I give thanks.
When my heart is in a place of peace and persistent joyful urgency, I feel limitless.
Magic is real, and we're surrounded by it in limitless iterations.
