 And now I am 46 (30 Sep at 23:56)
Hmm! Yes! I turned 46 years old, which was predictable. Also predictable, and predicted, is that I finished that darned video:

Rupert's Snub Cube
Rupert's Snub Cube


I also updated the project site with more data and links. I should have just posted this blog-post earlier in the month when I uploaded it; I don't know why I always save it to the last minute and risk losing 1,000 points. I guess I figure I might get several more projects done in the month. I did not: Instead I played Silksong (which is excellent, and you don't need me to tell you about this game) as a reward for finishing project, and since that is sometimes too hard to be relaxing (I do love how hard it is!), I also installed Cult of the Lamb which I bought at some point. The latter is charming and has great art and music, but I don't think it's a must-play. For some reason I expected it to be more like an action roguelike (a la Hades, say) but it's a bit more like a tech-tree resource-management farm-sim. The combat in the main loop is just not quite interesting enough yet. But I will finish it, I'm sure.

I have begun on my next projects, several of which involve cryptography.

I also made this 3D-printed file handle:

stderr
stderr


This began as a purely practical thing (I needed a handle for a file), and I actually assembled the original file before realizing my missed opportunity for a pun, and then decided that the right solution was to buy a second file!

OK the 'file handle' pun made me laugh

Happy birthday! I loved the video, but over the course of this journey I got surprisingly attached to the snub cube, and I'm sad not to know whether our snub cube buddy is in fact Rupert or Nopert. Also unsure if the dry salt bed is just a delightful non sequitur or callback to a previous Tom project I missed. I did somehow overlook Harder Drive until now... must not have been checking your blog that spring. So that was an unexpected bonus to find.

Nice Anonymous: I don't know where the dry salt bed comes from, but http://radar.spacebar.org/f/a/weblog/comment/1/1201 already calls it traditional.
