I have published the 3D Models for the upper (and most interesting) pieces of the leg design of the 0.02 SpiderDroid in TinkerCad under easy free licensing.

NOT becoming a Supervillain by mistake
I do a lot of cryptoquote games. Way too many, probably. So I have a stream of notable quotes offering themselves for my fleeting consideration on most days. Lately I have been adding "... as a Supervillain" to the end of them, like one might add a phrase to a fortune cookie message.
Example fortune cookies:
"Today it's up to you to create the peacefulness you long for" ... as a Supervillain.
"If you refuse to accept anything but the best, you very often get it" . . as a Supervillain.
Example Cryptoquotes:
"Life isn't about finding yourself. Life is about creating yourself" ... as a Supervillain. (George Bernard Shaw)
"Love is composed of a single soul inhabiting two bodies" ... as a Supervillain. (Aristotle)
The story I am telling myself is that this activity will help me avoid becoming a Supervillain by accident, because there might be trapdoors into evil thoughts under high minded thoughts.

NOT Being A Supervillain LLC
In the second (depending on how one counts, it might be the third) trimester of the COVID-19 global pandemic, I have decided that I need to do something besides simply making pandemic masks and obeying rules. So I have established the NOT Being A Supervillain LLC as a North Carolina USA company. I plan to offer computer consulting services, including security audits and challenge tests.

SpiderDroid 0.02: Leg twitches
I am happy to announce that I am making progress on one of the wishlist projects that I have imagined for the next few years. At the moment I have two assembled legs (with servos) that I like for this second incomplete design/build and two more 3d printed but not assembled yet. Early walking experiments with only 4 legs will be creepy but useful.
I hesitated, because in the midst of this global pandemic the distributor for my preferred servos went 503.
Fortunately, HiWonder seems to be distributing those LX16A servos now, so I am rolling. :D
