Change of plans I guess. I dismantled my PolyTools site, and brought the newsletter back into the PolyInnovator site-fold.

I'm not moving to Austin, at least not for a bit, and I haven't found other work yet either. This is all a bit of a disappointment, but let me tell you what I am doing.

While I can't move to a new city, we can move to a new place at least, and that change in environment I think is going to help my mental health. I loathe my current apartment, and there are no benefits anymore to staying here.

While I did dismantle the Ghost CMS version of PolyTools, I found this new tool https://directbase.app/ which would be cheaper in the long run to host. As well as, nearly as good looks wise, and easier to add new tools to it. The founder is also pretty active at making improvements to it too.

What am I doing... NOW? April 2025

I am working on videos for the pc brand that built my daily driver machine. Herk, they sent over another mini pc and an external graphics card for me to take a look at!

Here is one of the first videos for that.

In a week I'll be going to NABshow again, last year was with my company I worked for, and this year I'm going stag. However I'm looking forward to seeing people I met again. Plus I mean it's VEGAS.

I re-added the "Day Planner" plugin, not OG, and that is because my calendar app Rise is depreciated. So I figured I need a way to quickly view events, and it also does notifications. Which for now are suitable.

In a bigger view #MACRO, What's Coming up

I'm rebuilding the directory of tools, as I still want to provide that to the world. However I think I'll keep the newsletter here, as I like the idea of them all being in one place.

I have some interesting ideas for content going forward. Which is a good thing because all of my scheduled posts are now finished for the most part. I gotta do another sprint I guess.

I'll be moving to a new apartment here soon, and that will be great. I've been climbing the walls in this current place, and I want a new environment. Plus there are some food places near the new place that might help stabilize my nutrition.

Perhaps from this conference I might find a job, or a connection that will be really amazing.

I guess I could say I'm a bit hopeful for the future, even if it is not quite what I've been aiming towards.

Things I am consuming:

I don't know if I've ever watched a video this long or not before, but I grew up loving Bionicle. I wanted to relive that a little bit, and I was curious about the story as I always read the books. It has a massively deep lore behind the Lego toys, that you wouldn't probably expect.

Of course I'm also digging into various ambient music soundtracks while I work!
