Feeling shallow on the lighter side of life

The PolyBlog
April 1 2022

While my blog of late has been dealing with lots of more serious matters than normal, I am still trying to keep it “light” with some ME time. I’ve mentioned before that I play various games on my phone, and of late, that’s mainly one of 9: a. Traffic Puzzle is still a popular choice for me, although I lost a bit of interest when I cracked the 2000+ board mark, and actually caught up to where their new content ran out. I actually had to wait for new boards to be released. I’m at 2453 now, and I think … Continue reading →

Reading “Make: Getting started with 3D Printing” (Chapter 1: Introduction)

The PolyBlog
February 6 2022

I’m reading an ebook called “Make: Getting started with 3D Printing” (Second Edition, by Liza Wallach Kloski and Nick Kloski) as part of my learning about 3D printers ahead of buying one later this year. The foreword served as a general introduction (Reading “Make: Getting started with 3D Printing” (foreword)), so I was a little surprised that Chapter 1 had the same title. It is, however, an incredibly short chapter that wants to argue that 3D printing is the corner store of a third industrial revolution after steam-powered machines and assembly lines. The obvious benefits are that 3D printers are … Continue reading →

Reading “Make: Getting started with 3D Printing” (Foreword)

The PolyBlog
February 5 2022

I have formally started my learning process for 3D printing, hoping sometime this year to buy one and start making things. I jumped ahead in the learning queue back at the start of January, and I think I already know which model I am likely to buy (ADIMLab Gantry Pro). However, some of the variables are still mysteries to me, and I picked up a few ebooks plus a paper non-fiction title to help with my early learning. The book I am reading is called “Make: Getting started with 3D Printing”, Second Edition, by Liza Wallach Kloski and Nick Kloski. … Continue reading →

Saying no to free money

The PolyBlog
September 26 2021

I find it intriguing that on a regular basis, I get comments, enquiries and outright offers from people about how to monetize my sites. Mainly, they are referring to my PolyWogg site, and the HR content. That it is free money that I’m not “grabbing”. With suggestions of how to turn the site(s) into a consulting business or to sell the content as training, most often. I find it intriguing for two reasons. First and foremost, I find it amusing that they think that I have never considered it myself. I have, I admit it, but it is always more … Continue reading →

My impossible quest for laptop supremacy

The PolyBlog
August 10 2021

Ah, late summer. The time when a young man’s fancy turns to back to school tech. Papers. Notebooks. Maybe, dare I say it, the laptop of his dreams?
