I had a great walk around Chicago last night. From Union Station I walked to Ogilvie Station but the market was already closed. Opted to not go into the Clayton for a cigar as was on a time limit to move the car. Didn't want to switch to $4/hr for electric charging in the parking garage. A great parking garage. The building South of Union Station that has a park on top of the garage. It was only $12 for 12 hours of parking. 333 Clinton St. I will need to check again on the pricing there. It is great and essentially the same spot as if we were to take the train. Took about 15-20 minutes to walk to the lake. I would really like to walk around in that city more. Maybe that will be the city that we land in next. It was cold last night, around 24F, -4C, but I was not cold. I had on long underwear, khaki pants, t-shirt, sweater, hoodie, and my mid-length wool jacket, leather gloves, knit hat, and my over the ear headphones. I was walking at a brisk enough pace to be warm and the wind was mostly not terrible. I am still engaged enough to notice people look at me and notice when they look worried. This is a weird phase. I feel when I was younger, people looked at me with curiosity, disdain, or maybe some enjoyment. I see some enjoyment from those that are older than me. Males my age do not pay attention or have some worry. Females my age mostly look at me with worry. Most people that are younger than me look at me with a bit of worry when they see me walking. I miss being a handsome curiosity. Sometimes I feel like the King of Hobos. Especially on how I was dressed and out for a walk and boogie in the cold. It is nice watching Lily and the others playing car games at Rainbow. A couple of adults are in with the girls laughing and having a good time. Several other adults are in the corner talking with each other, also having a good time. No one may know it, but I too am having a good time over hear putting my mind down and jamming to some tunes. I received my Kindle Scribe yesterday, but I am contemplating keeping it sealed until Christmas. It was a bit pricey. I may reevaluate this once I am able to get the girls their watches. Perhaps then I will get myself a watch or ring for Christmas and I can start using the Scribe. I may have to restart Enfide as an MSP while I build it up to more of a technology company. I need a way to get into houses and businesses to open the door for our new products. I don't have the trust fund resources or the cutthroat, take advantage skills. I need to start small and build up to a point that I can start making some moves. Work on some open source projects, develop some ai systems that I can offer up: realme, Sandy, data products, set top boxes, small servers packed with a cadre of services and features, better tablets, heads-up eyeglass display, Wingratch rings that have health sensors but also some e-ink display and the ability to act as a controller for other devices. Imagine scrolling and selecting with your thumb while swiping up and down on the face of your watch on your ring finger. You can look at it to quickly see some stats like the time, steps, weather, or notifications. We will have a set of glasses on our face and a ring on our finger and we could be completely connected with all the people of the world, all of our data, and the entirety of the Internet. I could also make the cell phone lock and wipe, destroy-able USB sticks, and many others. Work on getting my data all pooled together. I have many pages to scan in and also to build a RAG of all our data to use. It may be useful to have my work analyzed, categorized, and expounded on. Do I want to put it all out there? I don't think that I have anything to hide. I don't think that I am trying to hide anything. I don't think there is much that I need to protect. I would rather have my ideas out there and have others be able to take advantage of the work and move forward that to have the information die in my head or end up in a landfill because it was just a folded piece of paper among apparent junk. I need to de-clutter. Get all my electronic stuff downstairs then categorize it. Sell the Cisco stuff as a kit or get rid of it. Sell the Bose and other valuables that I am not going to use. Get some Arylic devices and some speakers for around the house. Time is getting bad for outside projects, but there are many. I need to decide on a list program. Can I get away with using Obsidian on everything? I like the basics of it and there are so many plugins, but I do not like the syncing issues and I do not want to pay for it. I would like to keep it simple. Markdown might be enough for my notes. But, I need projects and proper lists. I will look at some Notion and Trello replacements. Outside I need to break up the bad concrete, cut the driveway at the house line, plan the outside area, begin the basics of that: removal of existing concrete and asphalt, leveling, digging out for the utilities, etc. Bring the small light at the back garage door to the front, work on replacing the LEDs in the lights with ones that are RGB and controllable. Mailbox. Fence. Shed. Get the pool put away.
