thoughts on college

Hello faithful reader!

I wanted a centralized location for my musings. The hardest challenge was naming!

So many abandoned blogs with cool names. Reminds me of a frequently stolen (mis)quote:

There are only two hard things in Computer Science: naming things. [attribution]

-: school :-

I started taking classes again today.

I'm a functioning adult, pay bills, have a family.

And on some level it's like I'm in high-school again.

Being on this side of it - it's actually a pleasant awkwardness

-: pondering :-

I watched a YouTube video on creativity - John Cleese on Creativity [link].

My favorite part was the reminder to leave space to be creative.

Whether writing a novel, or solving a difficult problem, we need to give ourselves time.

In our modern instant-feedback society, it is a good reminder to trust the process.

-: idea :-

Given the notion of probabilistic circuitry, I wonder if it would be possible to use machine learning to design or build a circuit that could draw current passively from some contrived environment that would allow for a self-charging battery. [inspiration]
