Metroplex heeds the call.



I love robots. I love Transformers. I love being a nerd. And yesterday I gained a new follower. My new protégé. Jorry. We are going to invent the worlds first transforming building.

Spring Break.

The kids are on spring break. My brother and I thought it a good idea to drop by and say hi to the kid cousins. I promised Jorry I would help him build his bipedal robot with his Lego Mindstorms. We ended up building the original robotic like buggy with touch sensors. Pretty cool watching the thing move after programming the NXT box. The programming part of the NXT kit is probably the trickiest. Took Jorry about an hour and a half to figure out how to program a back and forth movement by touching the front and back sensors.

I've convinced myself that it's an upgrade necessary not just for myself but more so for the peopl...

So I've been consistent with my workout routine lately. Been going at least three times a week, 30 minute cardio, 30 minute circuit. I'm starting to feel addicted to the serotonin rush after pushing my physical limits. And that clarity of mind after the rush fades feels damn good too. When I get home, after a shower, I sit and meditate, when I reach nirvana I feel like I'm in heaven. Excellent habits all around. Keeps me positive. Keeps me happy.
