Random Thoughts from the Past 9 Months
It has been a busy start to the new year with my full time role and family winter activities. A few bits that have been keeping me busy:
- Travel - UK and Paris for work and pleasure.
- Dusting off my snowboard and my wife and I teaching our family to ski.
- VR golf and mini putt putt.
- Restoring DMG-01 Original Gameboy’s. Including building a “retro bright” lightbox to re-whitening yellowing plastic and some minor soldering work.
- Scanning local digital radio channels with my Bluetail Technologies MicroP25RX. Sadly this kit is no longer being produced but it is one great little device with a physical screen (via Wio Terminal) and App based scanning. The sole owner of the company and engineer is possibly working on a updated model once chip supply chain issues ease.
- Hacking VR overlays for my favorite iRacing 3rd party app RaceLabApp.
- Making my first batch of Sauerkraut in a Fermentation Pot.
- Building a sim accessory VoCore 5” Dash with a 3D Printed Case and Screen
- Investigating CanBus Data Collection via a ESP32, Bluetooth and RaceChrono. Example project here and here.
- Home Air Quality monitoring via Airgradient.
- Getting back in shape with a Peloton and Garmin Forerunner 955 (I love this watch!).
- Nerding out on Sim racing data with Garage61.
- Enjoying French Pressed Coffee.
- Enjoying: The Last of Us, Clarkson’s Farm (Season 2), White Lotus, and others.
- Gearing up for a great season of IMSA and Indycar racing (and maybe a little track time myself this year).
