With the PSVR 2 price drop to $400, went ahead and bought one and it's the best wired PC VR headset I've used, with perfect SteamVR support from Sony themselves. Just ignore the actual PS5 VR game selection...

Wanted to do some drone power draw testing today (seeing what a cheap tethered quadcopter would take) but it's snowing outside so instead, switched to sewing a different project. It's much warmer, as a bonus.

It is a little odd to walk into the Denver airport to see it almost entirely deserted and an odd ambient cover of Somewhere Only We Know playing. One of the few benefits of being up a 4am I guess.

Despite the awfulness happening, I am going to mostly keep posting fun, weird slices of joy because it's important to me that every feed isn't all doom.
