A Prius parked away from the camera on a steep hill. The skyline in the distance shows we're very, very high up. Two wooden doors are poking out of the trunk, held down with bright orange straps.

I bought an old exterior door for $100 today from a friendly guy on Craigslist. I knew it wasn't going to fit in the car, so I brought some ratchet straps. What I didn't expect was that this guy lived on the higest point in Highland Park, up like a 50° hill. The car beeped the whole time home to make sure I knew the lift gate was unlatched, but otherwise I'm very proud of my tethering abilities! Also he threw in a solid interior door for free that I guess I'll use for lumber, hell yeah.

Cirque du Soleil is now on Roblox.

I started playing Hoplite last night and now I think I may never stop!

I just discovered that All Electronics is going out of business! I've never actually been here or purchased anything from them, but I enjoyed knowing they were there the next time I need a motor or a switch or a potentiometer or whatever. I'll need to visit soon and snatch up everything that looks vaguely interesting.

Also, I'm really sad that I cannot find a brick-and-mortar store that compares to this place. All the reviews are like, “There's no place like All Electronics!“

Inspired by Jeremy, I have disallowed Google crawling my personal website. I don't expect this to change my life in any way, except that it feels nice in this exact moment. I would say goodbye to Google but they wouldn't see it lol

A picnic table with a red-and-white checkered table cloth holds a ridiculous collection of wooden cars all lined up, ready to race.

Two play cars sitting on a street corner. They are both eerily drained of color.
