Clove

I cooked something with mixed spice, and I hated it, then I remember, I hate clove!  Must never touch mixed spice!

Jigsaw Rush

We haven't done a jigsaw for a while.  When we picked up a set from the charity shop, we needed to check its completeness, so off we go.  Except, we has planned a weekend away, so we literally spend a few hours here and a few hours there, and we managed to completed this 1000 minus one pieces jigsaw.  Luckily the missing piece was not in critical area, so it passed our QA and it can proceed to next stage.

Legends Arena

The only one perk of being a Legend is free entry to a monthly arena with prize money.  I took part and placed 335 out of 2110, could be worse.  My eyes hurt.

Rare Earth - The New Plastic

I always know batteries is not the solution, the reduction of consumption is the solution.  Listening to a documentary about rare earth cemented the idea.  Some say rare earth is the new oil, I think rare earth is more like new plastic.  Not only it takes a lot of pollution get the ingredient, once made into product, it cannot really be recovered and it is left to poison the soil.  It really doesn't help when we think everything needs to be smart, had a semiconductor or some special function.

Internet of Things Gift Guide

I listened to the Thanksgiving episode, the gift guide cemented my thought about things need to be dumb.  Smart kettlebell? Router rebooter, ie power lead with sensor?

Internet of Things

Although I have no interest in Internet of Things, I wanted to learn more about IoT, so I found this IoT podcast and I have been listened to it for a year or so now.  I have concluded that I believe building and energy consumption should be smart, but not things...
