LOCAL: Weird things happening locally. A cemetery worker drove heavy equipment over gravestones again, like, he’s going through a cornfield in Inseption. Rows of them. A drone shot captured the damage. People upset after crews drove heavy machinery over headstones and graves at Fayette County cemetery – CBS Pittsburgh. Nice drone shot.

Staffing shortages are creating a crisis with local law enforcement. Uniontown Police Department in crisis as officers leave and chief resigns. So, no drone work with any municipal groups. No art instruction. Everyone’s broke. Is art for the birds?

I live in a ghost town, boo! Raising a Ghost Town From the Dead – Atlas Obscura. It’s quiet at night in the valley.

Will finance a good general photography camera in February, test through March. Will buy a fixed wing FPV drone. Will build one in the Spring. That’s the plan.

Drone: I flew none. Weather. Also, weather. Waiting on the new drone.

Someone misses Nawlins that bad.

Science: Coal-powered data center. No, thank you. Google is going to space. Microsoft is going where Jimmy Carter dared to tread. Why Microsoft made a deal to help restart Three Mile Island | MIT Technology Review

Optic fibers are antennas, sort of. A bit of tech: Episode 6 – Creating the Sixth Sense – YouTube. Segues into tsunami detection. Locating boats. [2509.11614] Vessel Detection and Localization Using Distributed Acoustic Sensing in Submarine Optical Fiber Cables. Quantum teleportation in salt water is an interesting field of study.

If you wanted a fair sprinkling of literary quotes in a recent quantum information research paper, say no more, fam. 2411.13743

Art: I am waiting for paint applied a week-and-a-half ago to dry. It dried. I added more to the paintings. I paint again this weekend. It’s getting monotonous.

Make shrinky dinks from old lettuce mix containers. EDIT: Make sure to use “#6” plastic. Maybe roughen the plastic surface to get more permanent ink to stick. Bake at 350 in the oven for 4-5 minutes, flatten with spatula when removed, allow to cool. Recycle plastic into shrinky dinks! Cool project.

6-7, for everyone keeping score this year.
