What a place to fall asleep eh?

Always finding myself in search of more time.

Uber ride in Midtown NYC, on a Monday, after only 2 hours of sleep and a 6am flight is like playing passenger to a power drunk sibling playing GTA but somehow managing to not hit any pedestrians.

I need coffee 😪

(Also hi NYC I missed you!)

Next project coming along nicely. All sorts of new things for this that weren’t needed on the Pit Droid or B1. 😮‍💨

Finally over the programming hump.

Now it’s just tolerances…
And backlash smoothing…
And final assembly…
Aaaaaand then field test.

Or do I just absolutely send it right into the field? 🤔

"Surely not touching my codebase for the droids since June will be fine, I'll boot up and everything will work.", he said beginning to sweat.

>git fetch origin

"Hm seems okay actu-oh...the Arduino extension for VSCode is deprecated? Use PlatformIO?"

...well this afternoon sucked.

The die was cast and the result was “I think I’ll work on the Battle Droid”

Very challenging compared to the Pit Droid, so much that I’m writing a readme as I make mistakes. Not long now though.

…oh god I forgot I have to program it 😩

As someone that knew other kids in college (high school) during the 90's, and then was tutoring kids during the 2000's and 2010's they didn't really understand folders and directories then either.

Plenty of my colleagues and superiors didn't back then either & plenty don't now.

And for my next trick I’ll show you just how good my analysis paralysis is by spending two months struggling to decide whether I should:

A) Build Gunpla I just bought
B) Finish my animatronic battle droid head
C) Fail both and decide to stay late at work

Man. CES week followed by going right back into work after over a month away really pulls you out of the posting mindset. 😪

Just under 3 days until it’s back to work. Been over a month, which is wild, but I’m grateful. First week back is getting back on a plane for CES 2025 which I admit I’m dreadfully excited for, but it feels like I just got home!

In the days leading up to 2025 Panda Express started serving my neighborhood on DoorDash. Today, the first day of 2025 and WingsOver has begun serving my neighborhood.

Pray for my health, my bank account, and my habit of treating my body like the temple that is a NYC dumpster. 😩

Coughing since October gang reporting in.
I'm sure everyone is sick of me talking about being sick but I'm sick of being sick and talking about being sick.

Finally (mostly) adjusted back to my timezone after a whole *week* and due to some family staying longer than expected this morning the “today was a waste” started setting in and upset the wife.

Then I found out Panda Express now delivers to our house and I put on LOTR Extended. Day: Saved.

As I settle back in from my Japan sojourn, I've found a few fast favorites from the trip (and doing nothing for Christmas this year has given me time to edit!
