# Miscellanea for 2025-05-31

- Hello world!
- I need to come up with a process here that keeps these miscellanea posts marked as a draft, if I never get past "Hello world!"
	- I start a new file every morning from a template, with the intent that I'll drop by and jot some things here throughout the day. But, this week turned out to be particularly busy. So, I went a few days never getting past "Hello world!" and that's not super interesting to publish.
	- At some point, I want to hook this stuff up to Mastodon and Bluesky accounts. I don't want to just post templated nonsense. (Just intentional nonsense.)
- Maybe there's something in the air, because a week or two ago I got suddenly compelled to dive down a rabbit hole about [the transformer robot watch](https://tfwiki.net/wiki/Kronoform) I had when I was a kid in the 80s.
	- The one I had was confiscated by a teacher and never given back. I'm still salty about that.
	- But, just a couple days ago, I saw [this video from Secret Galaxy on the history of the Kronoform watch](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Xe5umc6Jha4)
	- From there, I found [this giant-sized printable version of the Takara Kronoform in desktop clock form](https://www.printables.com/model/962592-takara-mc-06-kronoform-the-desktop-clock) - I'm going to have to give that a try.
	- I kind of want to try building some version of the robot watch with some smart guts. I probably won't get around to it, but why do smart watches have to be so boring?
	- Maybe I can split the difference by sticking a smart display in the desktop clock version? Hook it up to Home Assistant and make it do... I don't know what.
