I would do anything for a straw bale house. Yesterday I was looking at a Australian company that has prefab straw walls, and they look thinner than Modcell SIPS. The main thing I want is better insulation, and should prevention. I want to be warm/cold and not hear a thing. I keep on thinking of two kinds of buildings… that would be fun to have in two different locations.

Cant believe were already past Halloween and onto Thanksgiving. I am not looking forward to the rest of cold and frigid winter. The main thing I don’t like about winter is waiting for my car to defrost. Taking precious time to scrape it and then crank up the heat by using up gas and battery life.

I have been on Github for 13 years, which I made sure by doing math in the command line: expr 2024 - 2011 So its just taking me a long time, and feels like I am in a loop of learning and runnnig....

So I finally decided to go full Linux and remove ChromeOS with Debian. However after a couple attempts with etching Debian to my USB, I gave up on Debian installer....

I want to write about how there are really simple UI indi games out (like the game Turmoil) there right now and I am really excited by how they look and how easy it is to interact with them and use your imagination. Like in ’90s video games, the pixel art left alot to the imagination and I think that is a good thing. The second thing is that I get PDF newsletters in email from groups supporting passenger rail....
