In Perth. Looking at split keyboards and voice input on Linux. Using WisprFlow on Android. HLedger experiment is going well. Going (slowly) through Justin Guitar course and planning on using the Ulooper pedal with my Spark 40 for improvising.

Reading: Disaster Inc by Caimh McDonnell and The Mosquito by Timothy Winegard.

In Perth, looking into recording with Ardour. Experimenting with HLedger plain text accounting and trying to get VIM motion keys embedded in muscle memory.
