2019-2020

The pandemic made absolute havoc of most of my finely honed habits. Keeping up on Dreamwidth has been one of them, I'm afraid. I've successfully reinstated my daily reading goals, though, and posting here is next on the list. I refuse to let my annual retrospectives die now, just 2 years short of their third decade!

Between September 5*, 2019 and September 4, 2020 I...
...made a replica of a historical artifact good enough to get added to a museum's collection.
...visited Panama, got to sail on some of the canal.
...made a kinetic sculpture installation I was really pleased with.
...got into DIY modular synthesizers, somehow, and designed several PCBs as a result.
...started moving into a new shop that is a significant upgrade and will probably be the one I stick with for the rest of my life.
...experienced life in a global pandemic and the greatest popular uprising in several generations, got tear gassed and hit with flashbang shrapnel, lived without the sun for a week, watched an explosion of fascist degeneracy, and generally became fairly superstitious about the ability of this fucking year to keep coming up with unpleasant developments months after month, same as everyone else.

^*I borrowed an extra day in last year's post. The accounts have now been balanced.
