 these two things took me all evening. I played some video games too. I put
 them in one so you don't have to see so many of them.
a picture of a page from the bicycle notebook.  first part is a collection of brainstorming and diagrams drawn in pursuit of Raleigh, my stab at artificial intelligence.  It's not done yet, in fact it's hardly even a design. It's more like, a thought in the mind that is slowly evolving to adapt to challenges that it might face when being implemented.  and sometimes it's like, beautiful architectures that I'm like "what could I do with these?"  anyway then it starts to devolve into kooky-dookerie about halfway through, and the rest of the notes are written in slant-form -> like, instead of reading one-after-another they sorta change tone and intonation rapidly in a cycle - it's super disorienting. Except visually it's like, tilted text, like a picture-frame that's nudged to one side and hanging from it's frame instead of it's wire holding-point.  do blind people often touch paintings? I doubt it, because it damages the painting. Alas, that materials are finite and flawed and degrade and become stone again. Good news though, sometimes pictures can carry meanings that are impossible to describe visually, but not impossible auditorily.  like, the sound of the voice in your head as you read the plaquards at a museum that displays ancient artifacts or bones of massive beasts or gemstones or science experiments or art or culture or mechanical motion displayed like clockwork and hope.  history is one of my favorite. you can find them by the side of the road. they're lovely homes 4 us many fediverse posts placed into a single image to be passed around as a bundle for people that the viewer decides might want to see them - y'know, like an artwork.

 something I made a couple [time] ago
A visual of two hard disk drive designs, current design and proposed design.  the current design features a rotating platter where memory is magnetically stored and a "read/write head" (which the author mistakenly labels as a "laser")   the proposed design features many heads all arranged in a spiral outward such that many parts of the disk can be accessed at once. This hard drive design seems to be designed for parallel access to data.
