    I recently learned about additive and subtractive manufacturing. Well, I learned that they exist. Additive manufacturing is when you create something by putting material together – adding. Subtractive manufacturing, on the other hand, is when things are create through a process of removal – subtraction. Like anything, each has its advantageous and disadvantageous. I’m curious…

    Just over a week ago, I planted some seeds in the tiny garden we have to the side of our house. It’s a small patch on a sidewalk leading to the stairs that access the garage. I figured I’d design and 3D print a watering can for when I need to water the garden. It…

    The days have been whizzing by. All of a sudden, it’s time to crawl into bed, quickly followed by the option to snooze. I want so much more to happen during my waking hours. I have ideas.

    While riding my bike home from school today, I was hit by a car in a cemetery.

    We got a barbecue and I love it. It’s a little bit big for the space, but it fits. I didn’t get a cover just yet, and it started spitting a bit. We just used the tongs we had in the kitchen drawer, instead of buying one of them fancy kits.

    I started riding my e-bike to work on Tuesday and it’s been the best commute I’ve ever had to work. Prior to Tuesday, I would only ride my e-bike to the shop, but then the weather got better.

    I tried to publish a blog post yesterday only to find out that the website has been down for a while. What was meant to be a quick, 15- to 20-minute thing turned into me trying to figure out DNS settings with blurry eyes until about midnight. Somehow, I ended up getting it to work.

    What colleges have you attended? Listing off the schools that I’ve attended probably won’t be all that interesting to read. Well, I guess, it might be more interesting than what you’re about to read if what I write next is not of interest to you. The most interesting schooling experience that I’ve had was when…

    Do you play in your daily life? What says “playtime” to you? Play seems to be a function of intention. If you’re just shooting hoops with some friends, that’s playing. If you’re trying to get better at getting the ball in the hole, that’s practicing. If you’re getting paid to throw a ball into a…

    Bloganuary: What are your biggest challenges? Self-discipline. It has to be. I realise that it’s just the one thing and the question is asking for a multitude of things. My self-discipline affects many areas of my life, though, so…I am envious of people who appear to have their shit together. I am able to commit…
