Our group finished writing another paper last week. Looks like another one may be in the works, focused on evaluating a widget I've been working on. One of our studies can probably be conducted remotely, with people staying in their own homes, but how well that will work remains to be seen.
Who knows, I might be able to incorporate some of what I'm working on into an animatronic project I've been thinking about. That would be fun. Maybe make a character that plays a sequencer, or at least appear to play it. If it pans out, it might be fun to include in a YouTube channel. I'm still playing around with the idea of performing incognito, kind of like Daft Punk or TWRP. Maybe with an animatronic backup band? It's relatively low on my list of priorities, but fun to think about. Alas, I'm just one guy and there are only 24 hours in a day.
Nevertheless, it feels good to be uploading new art again. Sometimes, I think that would be my focus if I didn't have other responsibilities.
For exercise, I've been mountain biking in the woods near my house. The trails deer trails rather than official mtb trails, so there's a little hiking and carrying the bike across creeks involved, but it's good exercise either way. I only encountered 1 couple this afternoon, and a woman walking her dog the other day. For social distancing, I just ride off the trail. It's not like I can even see the trail very well anyway, as it's covered with leaves.
Thanksgiving will be odd this year. I'm planning a traditional thanksgiving meal for one, at home, but with my family in spirit.
