Getting back into creating pixel art lately, so have been bouncing back and forth between Resprite and Pixquare on iPad. Both are really good but I think Resprite checks a couple more boxes for me. Not to mention, feels a lot more like Aesprite.

My ever changing book list, but this is what I have queued up next:

- Exodus (Archimedes Engine, #1) by Peter F. Hamilton
- Burning Chrome by William Gibson
- The Shadow of the Gods by John Gwynne

Started playing Ultima Online Classic lately and it's been great. They have a browser based client and the game itself feels like the old version I used to play back in high school

Bought a couple of sets of dual pivot rim brakes. Upgrading both bikes this weekend, so hopefully I should be good to ride again soon.

Suumhow, an electronic outfit out of Belgium, just announced a new album on #n5md, so I was able to snag a minidisc version of it.

The teaser track is a good mix of lofi-glitchy beats and a minimal melody, but interesting nonetheless.

Looking at it more, I think I may swap out the saddle for a nice brown Brooks saddle.
Got the other tire on, and started to wrap the handlebars only to realize that I didn't have any tape to finish it off. But that may be for the best since I think I can wrap the curves a little better with another go. Progress.

Enjoying some instrumental math rock from Argentina by the name of Mukku. Playful melodies overtop steady rhythms make. Perfect sunny Sunday music.
