Start of the Blog
I have recently joined the Tildeverse, I think I joined cosmic.voyage a little under a week ago and now I have joined tilde.club as of today. Today’s society feels so large and fast and disconnected. The appeal of a small(ish) community with a focus on socializing and fun projects was too good to pass up.
Lately I have been trying to steer away from the “traditional” internet sources of mindless scrolling. Things like Facebook, Reddit, YouTube. This feels like a step in the right direction
So who am I? Well, I’m a 30ish year old dude who’s pretending he is a data engineer. I really enjoy my job, but I have always seen a job as nothing more than an income. I don’t want my job to define who I am. I want my projects, and my interactions to do that for me.
Speaking of projects, my current project is an ambient light display. It will consist of about eight segments in a circular configuration. I’m powering it with a generic ESP32 development board that is running the WLED library. It works out pretty well because I thought I would have to program all of that myself, but someone else has already done all the hard work for me.
I will post photos soon, and maybe a build log.
