@morre Ah yes, Friedrichshafen. I always wanted to snag an assignment to cover that show from one of the magazines I wrote for. But they always sent the senior writers, not lowly freelancers.

Don't they also have a gigantic auto show there? I had to RON in Frankfurt one year on my way to Salzburg, and there was not a hotel room to be found. "Big auto show in Friedrichshafen" everyone said.

Time for an updated #introduction!

Hi, I’m Lauren! 👋 You might have Herda me, but if not, here’s the gist: I’m an interactive designer in Baltimore, USA.

I love making #3D stuff in #Blender, building #icons and UIs in #Figma, making #typefaces, #illustration, and collecting hobbies.

I geek out about stuff like #zeppelins, antique #postcards (mostly of zeppelins), #scifi like #StarTrek, and retro-inspired aesthetics like #dieselpunk. I love learning how #games are made. I love coffee AND tea.

Antarctica isn't well-suited to conventional cities...but it *is* well-suited to floating cities, technology we can take off-world. As crazy as it might sound, might Earth's coldest continent be a proving ground for the solar system's hottest planet?

Cloud cities are oft thought impractical, but they may hold the key to opening up Interior Antarctica, Venus, and destinations beyond.

Interior Antarctica, therefore, might be a good training ground for *Venus*, in as much as aerostats will be the best way to settle both places.
