- Project kicked off: osso.design, a retirement business planned for 2032. Product first, marketing later.
- The 10W UV galvo laser arrived. A laser test kit was built (mask and copper grids, resolution pattern, settings guide).
- Core concept defined: a 100x100mm 2-layer blank fully covered in copper, mask, and silkscreen; factory vias and ENIG pogo pads on a grid; 3D-printed pogo interposer; a window with 180° alternating boards; corner clamps; edge trims; SMT only; about 100W per pin at up to 48V.
- OSSO = Open Source Stackable Objects. The business is open hardware, and the value is in delivering finished objects.

- Vision: "Open Source Spec to Object," with robot-run specialized cells in a micro-factory. Tesla-style production edge.
- Vision media made: a rotunda factory concept, stills, and an approximately 9-second reel.
- 10:21 AM: concept v1 frozen (versions/v1).
- v2 ideas: a slot-bridging through-hole carrier (2.54mm, laser-ablated, pads on unused holes cleared), part-specific carriers (USB-C), and a large window plus a small wiring slot so wires run internally through the stack. v2 concept images saved (versions/v2).
- the designer: "It's important to have ideas soak and marinate." OSSO is now the documentary reporter.
