It's been a while since I've given you guys updates so here's some news! In my next video, I'm going to connect 100 car batteries in parallel and do a bunch of experiments with huge currents. This includes melting stuff, making big magnetic fields, and also attempting a big carbon arc lamp. Now this wasn't my idea, it's actually a crazy sponsorship unlike anything I've done before. The company AnyDesk literally just wants to see what crazy stuff I can pull off with a huge bank of car batteries. I'm still waiting on some parts to arrive before I can assemble the bank, but this video should be a lot of fun to shoot.

In the meantime, I've done a substantial amount of planting. I'm a pretty hardcore gardener with a preference for perennial plants, and since these take years to become mature, I've really been itching to plant a bunch of stuff here. Last year I was too busy working on the lab to do much in the way of planting, but I've dug in a whole orchard this spring as well as a bunch of other interesting trees and plants. Honestly I could spend the rest of my life gardening every day and be satisfied, but of course, mad science has to take precedence. :p

Recently my squirrel friend Ophelia has returned after a long hiatus, and in fact, I can tell that she has been nursing babies! I haven't seen them yet, but I really hope she shows them to me before they are all grown up!
