I am computerfan on Mastadon. I don’t post much but, I hope to post more since as you know I like to write. If only people liked to read what I write as much as I like to write. Oh, well I guess I can’t have everything.
So yesterday I was working on the semi-truck in blender
And I had to use the spin tool to make the lug nuts on the wheel go in a circle. I tried to use the spin tool. I looked up videos for help and I even watched a video on how to use an empty to make objects go in a circle.
What I ended up doing was duplicating and rotating the objects around in a circle. I was not happy that I could not figure out how to use the spin tool.
Its one tool I had trouble using in the older versions of blender also. So I want to learn how to use the spin tool so I don’t have to duplicate objects and try to get them in a circle.
I have been using blender 3x for awhile now
And I don’t seem to be getting any projects done. I start a tutorial then I find another tutorial I want to follow and leave the first tutorial and got to the new one.
And I never seem to get anything finished. So this year I hope to finish some blender projects. After all that is what I want to learn blender for because I want to make things with it.
I want to jump rope regularly
When I was younger I just could not get the hang of jumping rope. I probably could not even jump over the rope one time.
It was only later when I got older and got a cheap jump rope that I found out that yes I too could jump rope.
I suppose its like juggling. When I was younger I wanted to juggle but, when I tried it I was horrible at it. Back then I thought well I have to be good at something right away or there is no way I am ever going to get good at it.
Now I know different. If I want to get good at something I have to practice practice, practice.
So this year I hope to eventually jump rope every day for at least five minutes.
I am almost finished following the godot 2d dodge the creeps game
I started following the tutorial probably about 8 months ago. Then I stopped using godot everyday. And this year I decided I wanted to design and make my own video game so I started following the tutorial again. So I hope to be done with the game soon.
Then I hope to add things to the game. That is my plan so hopefully I will do that.
I want to learn more about Ham Radio
I don’t know much about Ham Radio now but, I hope to learn more about it this year. I don’t know if I want to get a Ham Radio license but, maybe I would like to be a Ham Radio operator.
I like to learn new things and Ham Radio seems like something I want to learn more about. So I hopefully will learn more about the subject this year.
There are so many things I want to learn. I just need to figure out what I want to learn first and start learning.
Its been awhile since I learned a juggling trick
And there are a lot of juggling trucks to learn and I want to learn as many as I can. Since its fun to learn new things. Thow it takes me awhile to learn a new juggling trick.
And I also want to learn all the names of the juggling tricks I know. Let me see how many of the tricks I know I can name. Cascade, reverse cascade, columns, one up, the box, brooks barrage, clay motion, grace, windmill, behind the back. And there are a few I don’t know the name of.
I am not that great at most of those tricks I listed above. Probably the tricks I am best at are cascade and reverse cascade. I need lots more practice juggling that is for sure. I am not even sure how long I have been juggling. Maybe 3 years or more. Or at least 2 years.
I also want to learn how to juggle rings and clubs. And I also hope to get some juggling bean bags and juggling balls.
Right now I juggle with 3 crocheted juggling balls that my mom made for me.
Another thing related to cooking that I think would be fun to do is make suasage
I am not a big sausage eater but, its always been fascinating to me or maybe interesting to think about myself making sausage.
I would want to make regular and vegan sausage. I don’t know whether I will ever make sausage but, I hope I do.
Maybe I could come up with a sausage that I or other people like. Who knows it could happen. Then I would be a famous sausage make.
My favorite sausage is probably deer sausage. At least I think it was made from deer. I used to eat it probably a lot when I was younger. I have not eaten it in years. Or maybe decades. Maybe I could make my own deer sausage.
I want to learn to memorize playing cards using the PAO
That’s person, Action, Object method. One thing I have always had difficulty with playing cards is remembering what suit is clubs and which suit is spades. At least I know the difference between hears and diamonds.
I don’t know why I have difficulty remembering the difference between spades and clubs. But, it has always confused me. So that is one thing I have to learn if I want to learn to memorize playing cards.
I suppose it might be the fast that I have not played cards much. Years ago I would play games like go fish and war. I might have known the different between spades and clubs back then but, I can’t remember if I did or not.
I will learn the difference. Its not that hard.
I have yet to cook anything this year
But, I hope to start making things soon. Its so exciting thing about dishes I could make. There are so many things I have never cooked. There is so much I don’t know about food. So much I want to learn. So many foods I want to try.
Anyway I wanted to talk a little about my favorite cooking shows. I have 3 favorite TV cooks. Julia Child. I don’t know which cooking show of hers I first watched but, I probably started watching her in the early to mid 1980’s on PBS.
Recently I listened to an audio book about her called Dearie: The remarkable life of Julia Child by Bob Spitz. Julia is always entertaining to watch.
The second cooking show I like is Girl Meets farm. When I started watching the cooking show I did not know that Molly Yeh had a blog or a cook book. Its always interesting to see the dishes that molly makes.
And the third cooking show that I like to watch is Amy Schumer learns to cook. I am a fan of Amy Schumer’s comedy so I could not wait to watch her cooking show. Its was on late where I live but, I did not mind staying up to watch Amy Schumer try to cook.
