One of my passion projects that's long-due completion was a dimensional analysis tool for computer programming. Programming has been a long-time hobby of mine and ever since I took physics and fluid mechanics in college, I wondered how to incorporate units into programming languages. Thus, Dimensional was born. It may not be the most elegant solution, but I believe I've come up with a solution that works pretty well regardless, and is fully customizable.
I let out my inner speed demon during my best friend's bachelor party. The six of us went to K1 Speed to burn some rubber in 3 exciting and fast 12-lap races. (There's no savoring the moment here.) But hey, at least I got a free head sock!
I can't say I'm a huge fan of this last home upgrade project, and I'm writing this article to vent. I recently replaced my bathroom fan, which I've had no prior experience with and decided to give it a whir. All the warnings seem to have been mist on me, but completing this project was really a breath of fresh air.
I've been practicing trench composting for over a year now in my small garden. It's been a good way to eliminate waste and improve soil health. By putting food scraps back in the ground, it adds nutrients to the soil, sparking life and feeding my plants. It also gets me going outside and a good discipline to hold myself to - not to mention the more time I spend at my garden, the more I'll inadvertently care for it. However there's some plant-related topics I want to get off my chest.
I highly despise fake grass, which is also known as artificial turf. It not only prevents natural plant growth, but it is actively harmful to the environment.
It's a little stressful when you're driving exactly the speed limit (of course, I would never go beyond the posted speed limit) and someone zooms by you at 10, 15, or sometimes 20+ miles per hour. As a bonus, these people will usually weave through traffic too. What's so important that you'd risk your life, and several other peoples', to save some time? Maybe, man's gotta poo. Who knows? But something I do think about, is how much time are they actually saving, assuming they don't get into a crash or stopped by the police?
