…perfection doesn’t exist; it is a goal that fuels a never-ending process of adaptation. If nature, or anything, were perfect it wouldn’t be evolving. Organisms, organizations, and individual people are always highly imperfect but capable of improving. So rather than getting stuck hiding our mistakes and pretending we’re perfect, it makes sense to find our imperfections and deal with them. You will either learn valuable lessons from your mistakes and press on, better equipped to succeed—or you won’t and you will fail.
How Much Deep Sleep Do You Need?
Since I have sleep tracking again, I’ve noticed that my time in deep sleep can vary a lot from night to night, even if I’m getting 8+ hours of sleep. So far there doesn’t seem to be a correlation between the amount of deep sleep I get and my recovery score the next day though.
How Apple Card works
A lot of great info here. The virtual card numbers will be a great feature.

Just what the domain says. This is a site that scrapes some popular WODs and puts them in one place. Cool for getting ideas for workouts.
Similar to AdaBox 010, there isn’t much here in terms of assembly or physical experimentation using different parts, but the PyPortal is a really cool new device from Adafruit. It’s built for IoT projects, with:
3.2″ touchscreen to display info and interact with the device
ESP32 co-processor to handle Wi-Fi connections
Analog Devices ADT7410 temperature sensor
SAMD51 to handle all of the processing, compatible with CircuitPython, which makes it fun and easy to program
Laser cut acrylic enclosure/stand
They’ve also included a 1 year pass to adafruit.io. I’ll likely turn this into something that interfaces with my Home Assistant server to control different devices around my house.
Took 5-10 minutes to remove the protective paper from the acrylic pieces and assemble the stand
I haven’t done much in terms of electronics, woodworking, or making in general for the last couple of months. I think I burned out a bit when I caught up on so many projects over November, December, and January. I’ll get back to making soon!
I noticed this one while listening to an Acoustic Chill (probably my most played type of music) playlist on iTunes. Then I checked out his album, which is a good chill listen.
I noticed this little bit of remaining ice in the front of my house, where the snow had been piled from shoveling and it doesn’t get any sun. Hopefully this is the last sign of winter. I’m ready for some golf.
