I'm Back® digital back is a 3D-printed film cassette with an attached m4/3 sensor. Some day this could be really cool.

During the first 6 months using Howm, I kept changing the format I used. I started with plain .txt files then moved to Markdown, then to org and back again a few times. What a mess. I'm an Org mode person, so I spent rather too long this morning converting and renaming everything to .org. I need to stick with this, now.

My first homemade 3D print
I have no useful experience with 3D modeling software, so I figured it was time to jump in. My first project was to stop the Baron Fig Squire pen from rolling off my desk 30 times a day.
I thought about making a clip, but that felt too complicated, so I made a simple ring with a couple of flat sides. The problem was that it still rolled. The flat bits weren't enough to stop it, given any momentum.
Instead of a fancy solution, I just added a tiny nubbin to the ring. It's not pretty or elegant, but it works.
Crude but effective.
