Today I finished my goal of walking around all 20 km of the Millennium Line. It took 4 sessions, but there was at least one major detour in there to do some OpenStreetMap surveying. I don't deny this makes me a bit weird, but it was great seeing all those backyards and industrial areas and other parts of town I wouldn't have seen otherwise. Plus, well, public transit nerd here. I just like being close to light rail infrastructure.

Worked on the decorative gear goggles some more, getting the frame entirely cut out. (Though not the eye holes therein.) Hard to find time to work on them, since I'm rarely home during polite sawing/drillpress-using times.

In the-future-is-crazy-awesome news: genetically engineering genius rats. And if that wasn't great enough, I looked up the original paper. They did, indeed, get funding from NIMH. I actually went "squee!".

Two possible responses:

1. Of course they got funding from NIMH, that's where public funding for stuff like that comes from.

2. Squee!!!

... SQUEE!

(Also, I want one. Preferably one that has also been engineered to have a decently long life span, since it sucks when they die after, like, two years.)

I, for one, welcome our new genius rat overlords.
