It is cool from time to time to spill out your innermost thoughts to the world and see what comments come back, but this blog doesn't generate any interesting comments, in fact I have no idea who even reads it. Quite often you can find help or inspiration from others.
I was quite inspired looking at a the Adam Savage interview video about The Martian. I would recommend reading the book before watching the movie. The way he published the book was cool, wish my dad would try the same way, but I guess he started too late and won't blog.

daydreaming
Weekend, yay, don't have to work, however I still wake up before dawn today and it is nice and quiet at that time so I can think and play 16384 which has cured my addiction to 2048, by giving me a harder puzzle. It feels like you are very creative when you just wake up and perhaps I should setup the blog earlier and type rather than play, who knows maybe some ideas will be useful.
Today I was thinking about how to better do sustainability and use prison labor to feed itself, after all they got nothing bit time to work on farming. I guess that was the logic behind prison ships to Australia. Maybe someday we will colonize the universe the same way. I am not sure why in this age of technology we still burn fossil fuels to move tractors and food to cities. I often wonder what life would be like in the countryside, if we were tech workers there. There is no reason we need to commute to our tech jobs. But farming isn't easy and we probably don't have the skills so back to my premise of farming prisoners, might be a good way to reform people by teaching them farming and tech out in the countryside.
Last night watched Shark Tank for a few min, than 20/20 had an interesting case, that they managed to work into the morning news, oh TV what a wasteland of commercials and factory built programs, but it is easy to turn on and you get so much content on an antenna these days.
Not quite sure anymore who I am writing for, I know the ads on a blog don't get you any money.

IoT
I had a great followup session on IoT using the Electric Imp. Result is I can now do stuff like: https://agent.electricimp.com/cX92T3zQwb4l/set?state=off and a light turns off on my Imp. Or the next iteration was curl https://agent.electricimp.com/cX92T3zQwb4l/set?state=1 -H "x-api-key: somepassword" because we do need to have security built in :)
We even touched on the Rocky Framework.

new body
Given that we get old and our bodies get worn out and broken, I would like to be able to upgrade my hardware. However I guess the closest thing to this would be reproducing and programming the new firmware.
