davidd's A DOLL A DAY 2024

I could register a project with Motus.  But I also couldn't find prices for the tags...!

I looked, and ended up reading a bit about the MOTUS system, but I could not find prices for the tags, either. I found links to sites that offer tags for birds and mammals, but I didn't find any insect-size tags.

I found approximate prices for setting up a MOTUS tracking station: anywhere from several hundred dollars to about five-thousand dollars if you choose to install a tower and larger tracking dishes. I imagine a reasonably robust Internet connection would be required as well, but I did not continue my research.

Supposedly lower-powered transponders can be picked up two miles from a tracking station, while those with higher output can be detected at a range up to 12 miles.

Doll-sized Jar

.

Only five days in, and I'm already posting pictures of Not-Really-A-Doll.

This little jar, or bottle, is an example of an "impulse buy," one of those "that looks cool" rather than "that's something I have a use for" moments of online idiocy. This miniature "rustic canteen" bottle was made by Hot Toys and was included in the "Fennec Shand" and "Cobb Vanth" Star Wars universe action figure releases.

I purchased the jar, or bottle, whatever it is, loose from an online seller, just because I liked the appearance.

I really wanna stop making nonsensical impulse purchases like this.
