I didn't know biking on the water at sunset was a thing I needed to do but that was a lot of fun!
This contraption is basically a bicycle frame on a pontoon with the pedals hooked up to a propeller. It's delightfully low tech and quite a workout if you want to go any distance!

In the #indieweb chat there’s a helpful bot named Loqi that answers questions from the wiki and lets us add countdowns. Sometimes the bot seems like magic and there’s jokes about it gaining sentience. To that end, I apparently added a countdown in 2018 for 6 years out: “Loqi can drive.” It was something I set and forgot, so it gave me a laugh to get the countdown notification today.
You can also “give” Loqi things and it will respond with random things, so this funny exchange happened afterward:
gRegor gives Loqi a car
Loqi laughs at the car
gRegor gives Loqi a cybertruck
Loqi gives back the cybertruck
