a week ago i completed my first bikepacking trip, 3 days/2 nights camping, ~300km along the Mosel River from the 🇩🇪🇱🇺🇫🇷 border to Koblenz! i did the first half of the trip solo!

i'm hooked now on slow travel & carrying everything i need on my bike 😍🚴‍♀️

Packed and ready for my first bikepacking trip (~300km) tomorrow. Will be solo for the first night of camping!

Did a fun 32km gravel ride through the forest down to the Lahn & Rhein rivers yesterday. Preparing for my 1st bikepacking overnighter (200km+) this week.

Didn't know I was capable of doing this stuff without the aid of an e-bike, have surprised myself with my grit & capacity to power up hills.

Did a wunderschön 55km gravel bike loop today, including 2 ferry crossings over the Rhine River.

sound art piece update: I finished wiring & mapping the 240 individual interactive plushy nodes.

touch is detected using 8 Bela trill craft boards & nodejs. currently working on the sound design in puredata.

will be bringing the project to @futurefrontend.bsky.social in Helsinki next month!

update: 90/240 touch points wired up (3/8 trill craft boards used)

such tedious manual labor 🫠
March 17, 2025 at 2:35 PM
project update: finished the sewing of the sound/touch art piece & now attaching wires to allow conductive touch to each of ~280 individual plushy nodes - that's over double the number i originally anticipated 😅 it's a slow process ✨

ernie the crow ❤️

I got a new gravel bike! I had an e-bike previously cuz i was convinced i was past my prime to cycle any kind of distance unassisted, but learned that's not true! Did first small ride (30.2km) on this beautiful bike to go jump in a cold lake!

Ernie the crow has been fed ✅🐦‍⬛🥜

Ernie is my sassy little crow friend that I hand feed everyday 😍✨

Working on art/sound project for my talk in Helsinki in May!

Building a massive touch detection matrix (120 individual touch points so far) with four Trill Craft boards. I'm also running the C++ code (for detecting touch) in JS using Node-API ✨

TIL there are ticks active in winter in northern Germany! 😱 Wilbur & I each had one on us after a walk at the campsite! Luckily they hadn't attached & wilbur takes bravecto.
February 8, 2025 at 5:24 PM
also cooked (some low risk) tteok-bokki for first time & i really liked it!! can't wait to try some next time that isn't a readymade version, but this was great for the campervan!

icymi i'm in autistic burnout rn & trying to recover. proud of myself that i'm *trying* to take care of myself now (even if it's a painfully slow process). Took wilbur on a solo camping trip in nature this weekend despite my agoraphobic tendencies lately. i think he's enjoying it so far.

Disassembled the kitchen in my campervan today to fix some stuff that was annoying and/or was broken after my 2 week trip in remote iceland.

Planning to do a trip in December with the dogs, but not sure where yet! 🏞️ 🤔 I just wanna be somewhere far away from people & computers in nature!

Doing my thing (cold plunging, hot pots, northern lights watching, river crossings) solo in iceland rn
