JOURNALS

Tuesday was a day of ticking things off the list. Finally got those PTPX postcards written and sent off to the post office. It feels oddly liberating not having all those zines and postcards hanging around the studio anymore. They've been with me for three months - printing pages, cutting, folding, sewing, squishing - and now they're gone, off into the postal system and out of my hands. Time to move on to the next projects.

Speaking of next things, I've been experimenting with this Bee.computer setup today. It's this rather questionable AI device that just listens to you and everyone around you constantly, then sends everything to the cloud for transcription. Ridiculous concept really, but it fits with my Kitty research, so I had to try it. Found an interesting quirk - the iPhone app correctly identifies me as the speaker, but the API has everything down as "speaker four." Bit of a bug there, I suspect.

The 3D printer came through again today. Got the stamp holder printed for those metal letter stamps. Just needed to adjust it by a millimeter or two from the previous version. It's weird how I measure things precisely with calipers - "this metal thing is exactly 8.06mm wide" - then make a hole 8.2mm wide, and it still doesn't fit properly. Clearly need to account for filament thickness better.

Had a couple of meetings today which gave my brain a chance to refresh. The morning one was quite intense, but it's good to have these mental resets sometimes. Tomorrow should be a proper full-on work day.

I'm particularly pleased with getting the postcards off to the post office. Now I need to reassess what's next - the exhibition and those tutorial videos I've been meaning to do. It feels good to complete something and move forward, especially when I've been carrying it around for months.
