New Year 2020
Preface
This is the start of my blog. The blog is a record my ideas, diy guides, and life events. My writing is for self actualization, however I offer my contributions to the public, so that it may demonstrate the purpose of life, the process of discovery, to reveal that we are capable of anything we set or mind on.
Inventions
This month I will go through my belongings to determine whether my posessions have purpose or take up space that could be used for something with a purpose.
I will invent and patent a Sega Genesis Synthesizer. When I heard chiptune for the first time I envisioned an instrument capable of connecting directly to an 8/16 bit system’s hardware. I was dissapointed when I discovered that sampling and circuit bending is the process most chiptune musicians employ.
I will build a Xbox original home automation system.
Organization
As I inventory the posessions that have purpose I will enforce organziation upon the work and creative spaces.
I will draft a bill of materials for space consolidation and labeling.
Organiztion Materials
- White Marker/Pen
- Black Tape
- Storage Containers
I feel that creativity is required for labeling. I will research the creation of interesting and artistic labels.
My PC
I built my first PC when I was 21. I knew absolutely nothing about building a PC so I purchased a CompTIA A+ certification book and pieced together the knowledge I would need to build a PC.
I will draft a bill of materials and specs required for the next PC.

My Network
I purchased my first Cisco switches and router when I was 29. I built my lab network when I studdied for the Cisco CCNA. I started out by configuring what was known as a router-on-a-stick, in other words 802.1Q tagged trunk, switched vitrual interface, and a gateway of last resort to the router’s sub-interface.
My Unfinished Projects
I will make a list of the projects I have not completed, and I will develop a plan and a schedule to complete each project. This list is long and disorganized. It may take some time to organize and create a wikis to contain my prior research into subjects.
The plan coming to frution
Fluttering About
I am fluttering, with no direction or target, and I have forgotten how to work. I will make a list of what needs to be accomplished, and set milestones for reaching a state of completion.
