    OMDA's Progress Reboot

    EXECUTION 
    Pulling together a video. It's taken some time to get all the tech to work at once. Spent about 3hrs recording but I need to redo a bunch and clean it up so that it is better and hopefully so that people will find it interesting. Going to see if I can get a response out of it but it'll take some...

    OMDA's Progress Reboot

    EXECUTION 
    Came up with some more ideas, but I'm trying to focus on what is going to get feedback, good or bad, the fastest. Near-term, I have some content I can create (video, excel template, examples) for an example design method that I use at work. I've had some positive feedback before explaining...

    I've been trying to fix this lately. I've found the following are major factors: Eating close to bedtime (within ~2-3hrs) has a negative effect 2 drinks or less that day is best, with Zero preferrable for the best sleep Sleeping on my stomach instead of my back/sides keeps my snoring from...

    EXECUTION 
    Thinking through some ideas this morning: Thought of another sports related product, and even found some interesting parts for that product that I didn't know were available. Could be interesting, but those parts have integral electronics and are quite expensive. Could be tiered without...

    OMDA's Progress Reboot

    EXECUTION 
    Thinking of how to get things moving, and I'm repeating a bit from my journal I've been taking: Need to get into a better habit system. The past year of Covid really did a number to me emotionally, but I came out better for it but with bad daily habits. I'm working on toning down some vices...

    OMDA's Progress Reboot

    EXECUTION 
    A little embarrassed to be writing here again, because I still don't have my own running business, but here goes: I ended up reading The Great Rat Race Escape this weekend. It shifted my mind back to what I need to be doing. Long story short is I quit my high paying job and moved out of the...

    OMDA's Progress Reboot

    EXECUTION 
    Update: 1 day of work left. I have got rid of a lot of material possessions and fly out to Europe in 2 weeks. I'm happy with my budget and I have some short term plans to develop some products based on my specialist knowledge to immediately try selling. They should only require 1-2 days of...

    OMDA's Progress Reboot

    EXECUTION 
    An update I was driving myself crazy working my normal job and trying to produce things afterward. I got severely depressed when a hard winter hit here and I couldn't get out when I needed to. This led to me taking a lot of vacation time this year, including visiting a foreign country and...

    OMDA's Progress Reboot

    EXECUTION 
    Hi all, I came to this forum right about a year ago after reading Unscripted. Last year, I fell short of many goals due to a lack of drive, lack of execution, and a lot of shiny object syndrome. That, mixed with a lack of firm commitment to my goals with entrepreneurship, and I coasted most of...

    Crushing the Comfort Zone

    HOT! MINDSET 
    I hate running. A lot. Haven't gone running in a few years. I've spend most of my time lifting weights, but not running. But, after reading Goggin's book, and being stuck away from home for this vacation, with no real gym here, I've been on two runs. They were short, but I mixed in sprints to...

    Anyone here who fears flying in planes (due to turbulence)?

    Ahh, gotcha. That's simple enough that your biggest problem may not be the hardware at all, but getting people to trust your device as a competitor. The customer stands a lot to lose if the device is insecure, so the trust issue is probably going to run the show.

    It is fairly difficult to vet people unless they come with strong recommendations. What are you able to share? Electronics isn't my forte, but what you need depends on the complexity of the project. You may need something like a breadboard or other prototype before you bother getting something...

    Anyone here who fears flying in planes (due to turbulence)?

    OFF-TOPIC 
    That's a pretty interesting test. They got within 4% of predicted required strength. So the wing was just slightly overbuilt. Overbuild too much, and you get penalized by the extra weight because of the fuel burn. And that ultimate load is 150% of the limit load. Meaning: the plane can fly up...

    Intense interview with man who turned his life around

    MINDSET 
    I saw this clip. I haven't watched the full interview this was clipped from, but this is incredible. This man was 300lbs and wanted to be a navy seal. He came from terrible poverty and abuse to switching his mind so that he could accomplish his goal. I'd never heard of David Goggins before, but...

    Anyone here who fears flying in planes (due to turbulence)?

    OFF-TOPIC 
    @Xeon I forgot to mention: The engines make more noise because the air density changes. Engines are pretty complex, and there are usually a dozen or more rows of blades in the compressor, then the air gets mixed with fuel and lit up, and then power is made in the turbine. Each one of those...

    There are a few things happening here. Usually, the average airspeed of the plane is the same. The pilots try to keep the plane at a constant speed in order to preserve fuel mileage. Changing altitude, changing speed, etc. all costs fuel. When you fly through clouds, there are all kinds of air...

    Yep. I've designed/analyzed some aircraft components. To even get on an airplane it has to pass all kinds of qualifications and tests. Every time a plane crashes, the FAA investigates, figures out WHY, and then forces a redesign/upgrade/change in procedures. There have been crashes due to some...

    Where I have been this time... and why I'm famous at Wells Fargo

    Seconding this. I'm not a parent, but I ask the same questions. I have met several homeschooled families over the years. The interesting part is that they at least have their tires on the fastlane stripes or are completely in the fastlane. One is a couple that met while he was doing music...
