I want to get better using spreadsheets

Maybe about 2 years ago I watched videos on using excel spreadsheets. But, I have forgotten most of what I learned because I did not practice using what I learned.

And I think it would be fun to learn how to use spreadsheets well since data for machine learning came come in spreadsheets. And I think that learning how to make spreadsheets would be fun.

So I hope I get better at using spreadsheets this year.

Years ago when we grew tomatoes we made tomato sauce

out of the tomatoes. I don’t think we followed a recipe. We probably chopped up the tomatoes, threw them in a pot and let them cook.

Its hard to remember what tomatoes we grew. I am sure one type was Cherokee purple, I know we grew different color tomatoes. I think one even had white skin. We might have even grown a green skinned variety.

All this writing about tomatoes makes me want to get tomato seeds and start growing them.

We grow a lot of tomatoes but, I was not a big tomato eater. But, I must have eaten them in a sandwich. Fresh tomatoes must have tasted so great.

I don’t remember what the tomatoes tasted like. I don’t even think I had a favorite variety.

I am not even sure how long we grew tomatoes. Probably 3 or 4 years.

When

One day I hope I make ice cream

I probably have written about wanting to make ice cream before on this blog but, I think it would be so fun to make my own ice cream.

My favorite ice cream is peppermint candy ice cream. I have not eaten that ice cream in years. But, I do remember that I liked it a lot.

I am not sure what type of ice cream I want to make. I mean what flavor of ice cream I want to make.

Probably drag on fruit ice cream. Big surprise right.

I wonder what usual flavors I can think of.

I remember I used to like chocolate chip ice cream a lot.

And I liked to stir up the ice cream to make it softer. I might have even put sugar in ice cream once or twice. Which I thought tasted good.

I wonder if I ever put brown sugar in ice cream? I could have but, I don’t remember.

So someday I hope to make my own ice cream. If that will ever happen I don’t know but, its fun to think about.

Today I used blender 4.0’s grease pencil

I never knew that the lines that I draw in grease pencil have edges and vertices like they do in the 3d view.

I also learned that I can increase the strength of the line I draw. And there is an eraser.

I have not used grease pencil much but, it looks fun so I hope I learn how to use it better. For that matter I hope that I learn blender a lot better.

There is so much for me to learn.

Another thing I want to make is posters

When I was in high school or even younger I had posters of sports stars. Michael Jordan, Charles Barkley, Chris Webber, Dave Henderson.

I am trying to think of what other players I had on posters. I do remember that I had the Charles Barkley poster in a frame. And if it was not the Charles Barkley Poster in a frame I am positive I had on of he posters in a cheap frame.

I also had some pennants of different places. How many posters or pennants I had I don’t remember.

It makes me wonder what was the first poster I got and when did I get it. And how long did I have it hung up or how long did it last.

I am pretty sure that all I had was sports posters. I don’t think I was into movie posters.

I just finished reading a book called Posters: American Style By Therese Thau Heyman. I leaner that there have been a lot more poster artists than I thought.

So I hope I learn to make posters using krita.

I don’t knew exactly what I want to make posters about. Maybe animal posters. I will think about it.

I want to learn how to make electronics with Ardunio and raspberry pi.

I know I have written about it before on this blog. I have wanted to do make electronics with raspberry pi for awhile but, have never made anything.

I have seen books about raspberry pi projects but, never read any of them.

So I don’t know if I will ever make anything with raspberry pi or ardunio but, I have given it some thought.

Though I have never thought about what type of electronics I would want to make.

i suppose some kind of robot. I don’t know what I want the robot to do though.

So I will think of what I would want to make with raspberry pi or ardunio.

Knowing about electronics seems so cool. Parallel and series circuits, soldering, amps, resistors, voltage. So neat.

I think it would be fun to make my own yogurt

Maybe I have written about that before on this blog. I don’t remember.

Anyway right now my favorite store bought flavor of yogurt is peach.

I am thinking about what flavors of yogurt I have tried. Lets see plain, vanilla, strawberry, peach.

It makes me wonder when is the first time I remember eating yogurt? I don’t remember eating yogurt a lot when I was younger. I don’t even remember what my favorite brand or flavor of yogurt was back then.

I wonder what flavor of yogurt I want to make? How about kiwi, or dragon fruit. Yes, that is it I could make dragon fruit yogurt. i wonder how that would taste since I don’t even know what dragon fruit tastes like.

So I think I would want to make dragon fruit yogurt. And probably lots of other flavors off yogurt I have never even thought about.

I remember that we hand mint plants

I think we had chocolate mint and spearmint plant. So we had at least 2 mint plants in pots. We never planted the mint in the ground.

I think the mint plants did OK. I even remember taking the leaves of a mint plant and using them for tea.

I don’t remember how long we had the mint plants or what happened to them. Or exactly how many mint plants we had.

All I know for sure is that we had mint plants. And that I like the smell of mint.

So hopefully one day I will get mint plants again.

Its fun thinking about world war II toothbrushes

and thinking about what else a person used such as razors; electric or manual to shave facial hair or take care of their hygiene such as soap or what about hair shampoo or shaving cream.

They are not huge blender projects but, they are blender projects I think I can complete. Because after all these year of using blender and not making much of anything I want to start making things in blender.

After all how am I going to get better using blender if I don’t make my own projects. I don’t want to be the person who only makes projects that was made using a tutorial anymore.

Its more fun making my own projects from scratch. I have more freedom.

I now know the things I want to learn

I know I have written about this before. Maybe I should call it I now know what is important to me. Or I could say I think I know what is important for me.

I want to learn how to cook new recipes, grow vegetables and flowers, make video games; draw, code, make music, learn about astronomy, learn about world war II, learn about machine learning, ethical hacking, learn about ardunio and raspberry pi.

There are so many things I can do for hobbies that I have always had a hard time trying to figure out what I want to do with my free time. I suppose someday these things could become a way to make money but, they are not right now for me.

I am sure that lots of people don’t want to learn about cooking but, I do. I have fun thinking about learning new recipes. So why not learn to cook.

So I thought about what I like and what I think is important to do and learn. And I think that makes me feel better.

I want to be great at something but, how can I be great at something if I don’t know what I want to be great at. I hope
