This is It. On into the Future

Posted on July 12, 2020 by awemaker

I’m on the cusp of doing a juice fast and changing my life, bigley.  Is that a Mr. Fusion?

My Nama Juicer

These are the best! Nama Juicer

This coronavirus time has been one of introspection without judgment, and I am thankful for that. For those of us who have wished “stop the world, I want to get off,” it has been exactly that. I have had a long period of toxic introspection and living in the past.

Now I am saying that there can be a future! 433 straight weeks of LRH lessons has been a definite contributing factor.

I sort of have asked my way through a job selling Verizon, then providing a real service with Lyft, but of course these were not my desire. I took pride with both but they didn’t feed me, as in “feed my purpose.”

Now it’s time to put it all together. The shiny object am seeing in the future is a Tiny House or Skoolie, but I’m also seeing the independence from a rent or a mortgage. I’m also seeing Rosary back in my life and living with me.

This implies that I have my MEST life under control.

I awoke today with purpose, and that purpose is to master the MEST life. The first thing on that list is to get my body to be happy as I have not been taking care of it. There is a haircut to be done and a shower to be taken. The kitchen has to be handled and made to be speaking span so that it becomes homebase for doing juicing quickly and efficiently.

So, it would seem that I also want to put blogging in.

The sleeper wakes!

Bluetooth Chording Keyboard Progress

Posted on May 21, 2019 by awemaker

I finally loaded the software onto the Adafruit Bluefruit LE board after 2 weeks of having it breadboarded but being, essentially, afraid to do so.

It loaded with no errors, all libraries included. The Bluetooth part worked perfectly! My android phone picked it up, recognized it as a hardware keyboard, and had a few questions for me such as “what language was the keyboard” and “do you want to display the virtual keyboard?”

I was not, however, able to send any keystrokes to the phone, and tried many iterations of this. A flash of intuition told me that I had my switches installed 90° away from what they should be, and a trip to Adafruit to find the schematic confirmed it. Still, no joy.

After getting my new, cheapo multimeter found & going (you need a Phillips head screwdriver to the battery in) I used continuity mode to determine that the damn switches don’t work! That actually made me pretty happy because it was either that or issues that were much worse.

I’m sure I have enough switches in the basement to make a quick wired key layout for breadboard testing so I don’t have to get into using the real cherry key switches reserved for the final build.

This feels right and I should be into final prototyping soon!  I will take a win.

The New Daily Tracking Blog

Posted on May 20, 2019 by awemaker

I will be tracking my info now.

Accomplishments, products, sub-products, campaigns, workouts, writings, and even food & weight tracking will be done here daily.

Hey, it’s a place to put the data.  Also, there’s this:

“Appreciation! Applause! At long last the spotlight. That’s the frailty of genius, John, it needs an audience.”

Sherlock Holmes, “Sherlock” S01E01

I find myself smiling ear-to-ear through that show.

Well, if something further is going to come of this life, you will find it here.

Engaging in petty arguments or gossip
Hanging around toxic people, partners or friends
Negative self-talk

Of course, in my discipline, this is called “failed purpose.”
