Doing some more maintenaance on the Starship Changeling. Bringing it farther into the #IndieWeb. This is one of the most fulfilling, self-actualizing experiences I’ve ever had.

In one of my trips to Helsinki in 2017, I visited Design Museo and in it there was an exhibition of the work of Margrethe Odgaard which investigated colours and patterns. It included a colour diary of various locations where colour combinations found in many places were captured.
