From September 4, 2017 to September 4, 2018 I...
...read a whole lot of primary mathematical and scientific sources.
...wrote most (97K words) of a nonfiction book relating to the above.
...attended a surprising number of concerts.
...anchored an art show, making a custom kinetic sculpture for it.
...visited London and the Grand Cayman.
...did most of the construction for a very ambitious public art project.
...made a faithful replica of Galileo's telescope, and used it to recreate his most famous observations.
This year was better for getting things done, but most of that was for long-term projects without a lot to say here. Anxiety management has been going well, depression management somewhat less well. But both are pretty rational responses to the world, so I guess that's probably okay? The urge to do some ridiculous endurance challenge like the Mackenzie trip has continued to grow in me. Hard to imagine actually doing it, though. What a terrible period of history in which to drop out of contact with the world for weeks and weeks on end!
