Projects

All projects are ideas, no matter where they are, no matter the stage they are in. 

As I continue to work on this site and add my ideas they will be added as projects. Most are in their infancy and only really exist as thoughts, but the clarity at which I can see some of them is mind boggling. My fabrication skills don't quite match my mind's eye, but I'm getting there.

Organize your content

Backdrop CMS includes three pre-defined types of content: Pages, Posts, and Cards. Custom content types can also be added.

A Snail's Pace

That's slower than the tortoise, but will I beat the hare?

It seems like each idea brings an entire, additional to do list. I'm not sure if I'm nuts, or trying to self-sabotage. In the end, all I want to do is build a revolutionary mode of transportation that will transform the world as everyone knows it.

I laughed as I typed the last sentence, but I truly believe it. There isn't a reason that I've found as to why it won't work. Nothing new, just putting an amalgamation of technologies together in a new package.

A plethora of emotions

Beginning with, "I'm just glad I'm still logged in."

...and including, "I need to upload a few images I can select that would be good as default placeholders."

...getting better, but need better follow through. 

I think I'm going to like this mobile editing. I see that I can make significant changes via my phone. Sure there are some annoying idiocyncracies, but I think I can learn where they are and how to work around them. I just don't like that I end up on my phone reading Google documentation for other functionality I now plan on adding.

Test from the road

I think I need to find a way to distribute my content.

It's gonna be another great night of King Gizzard and the Lizzard Wizard!

I'm gettin' there

Did you hear that? I'm gettin' there

I think I still haven't had an image for one of these posts, but I'll have one eventually.

I had another night of fine tuning a website that, I think, no one is visiting. That's okay, its fairly cathartic. I pretty happy with the way it looks now.

Another Great Day with Little to No Progress

So you're saying there was progress?

I wanted to get a whole lot of stuff done today, but I guess that's what tomorrow is for. Normally I'd be making this statement after a whole day of procrastinating, but today I got to watch my kids play Roller Derby. 

One is a seasoned pro, and two had their first bout today. They all played hard, well, and won the first game of the season. I was the one taking them to practice twice a week, but with a change in my regular job's schedule its been months since I've seen them play. I'm very proud of all three of them.

It's a long road

I'm trying to be consistent with everything that, I'm hoping, will get me out of my 'standard' 9-6 job. I don't do something every day, but it is starting to gnaw at me when my head hits the pillow and I've only done my regular job and any familial responsibilities.

I have a few honey-do projects that I'm trying to wrap up so there is less of a chance of getting distracted. I also have a couple of workshop improvement projects that I'm trying to wrap up so I can be more efficient when working on future projects.

The tunnel is getting brighter

Or the tunnel isn't as long as I thought

This is my actual first post. There is a default first post when you install the software, but I'm typing this one out as I sit by a cub scout camp fire while everyone else is settling down in their tents for the night.
