Hello and welcome to the community.
I haven't been here long, just read TMF a couple of months ago. I've been living the SlowLane all my life and was satisfied with it. Started my own project almost four years ago late in life working nights and weekends. I'm 55 now. Did it because I thought it was a cool invention and didn't want to regret not trying something. I've had many invention ideas, but never followed up on anything until now. My interests are simple machines or objects that are strictly mechanical. Electrical and software are beyond my knowledge.
I also feel like electrical objects and anything that needs software automatically has a expiration date (maybe that's better for a business model). At some point the electronics will fail and the software will be obsolete, but, mechanical machines can run forever. I have my great grandfather's pocket watch that he used when he was a conductor on a train in the early 1900s. It will outlive me.
Like you, I'm wanting to learn and contribute to a community of people that are serious about this journey.
