there’s excellent tesla charger coverage through north dakota. generally, we drive for ~120 minutes and then charge for 15-20 minutes. that feels like about twice as often as a gas-powered car but it hasn’t been a problem. and frequent breaks have been nice.

i spent the night in glendive montana, which is both the town i was born in and a town i probably haven’t been back to since. it is both raining heavily and blowing hard. the wind i remember, the heavy rain i don’t remember. at the moment it feels like the coast of alabama after a hurricane, which is 180° off from the arid eastern prairies of my childhood memories.

our may the 4th projects are done.

i used our 3d printer to print dozens of heads/beads, and my wife and i made necklaces. we’ll save the left over parts and use them for swag and seek at dragon con this fall.

the c3p0 heads were the most difficult to print—the neck made a tiny base, which didn’t adhere well when printed in multiples, even with a brim.

the death star is by nils kal, and was originally a clock face. I love it.
