I first started working on CAD in my first semester of highschool. Upon transitioning to my own computer during COVID, I picked up Fusion360 and Onshape in addition to the Solidworks I was already experienced with.

It is always a little broken and always in progress, but it is my child. It is a bedslinger with direct drive, bi-metal heatbreak, BL-touch for automatic leveling, klipper, and octoprint.

The Complete Musician: An Integrated Approach to Theory, Analysis, and Listening, 2nd Edition - Steven G. Laitz

Music theory textbook that is my first formal foray into the subject. It seems quite comprehensive and I feel like I have a completely new understanding of music. I've wanted to learn music theory for a while now, and this was a very dense, but very complete way to start.

Linear Algebra Done Right - Sheldon Axler

Linear Algebra textbook I've heard good things about. It is known for not teaching the determinant, which forces a more nuanced exploration of linear algebra. I learned a lot and really enjoyed it.

Metamorphosis - Franz Kafka

Arguably THE modernist novella, this is about a guy who turns into a bug and his family hates him. Understandably, there is a lot of alienation, existentialism, and absurdism. The translation I read was very similar to that of Camus' Stranger in how blunt and direct it was, lacking much prose. It is wacky, weird, and depressing, but I found it sweet, especially when the protagonist speaks of his sister.

Liber Spectaculorum - Martial

Martial's account on the opening of the Coloseum from 80 CE. Read it in latin while in Rome, like I've always planned. Fun read, but very dense. Lots to unpack in terms of history and culture (written during hight of the flavians)
