Got a new mirror
I was thinking about how I'd like to replace the mirror I already had, which is smaller and broken (and was when I found it), and thought I'd just look at prices online, and I found this being sold at a 70% discount if ordered in the next few hours by a store nearby. It being so big made it pretty awful to carry the 600 meters or so between the store and the bus stop and the other bus stop and my apartment, but I survived. Definitely getting a hand truck before I get anything else that's big and heavy, though.
Got custom art printed for my leverless controller
Overview and source image (and Eggbug closeup). I think it being in black and white because color printouts at the library cost money and awkwardly stretched to fit the controller and the text being covered up by the buttons makes it better.
Started a new project
I was displeased with available options for keeping track of books, so I thought I would not bother with any of them and just use a spreadsheet instead, and then I thought I could make the spreadsheet update process easier with a program specialized for this particular thing, and so here we are. Terminal Excel with just a few set columns for the information I care about, shortcuts to edit entries, and a button to add a book that takes an ISBN or author + title and gets metadata from Goodreads. Fortunately, libraries already exist for everything, so the hardest part for me is going to be making the UI look nice and work right.
Saw a neat list
