Lexington's Lexicon

 Around a year ago my headphones were ripped totally in half.  Unfortunately I have no pictures from that sad day.  In an effort to have working headphones again, I soldered the audio signal carrying wires back together and taped the two halves so that they would stay on my head.  They worked great and only adjustability and RGB functionality on the right side were affected negatively. Pre-Re-Fix Headphones However, I recently felt the need to revisit these things and do it right this time.  They were a gift from my brother so I would have felt bad if I  had just left them.  My main goals were to get rid of any exposed wires, increase the adjustability, tighten my mic (because it slips down), and hopefully have no duct tape on the final product.  I also got my hands on a laser pointer lens so some of these photos will be enhanced greatly. Disassembly was fairly easy but I had to deal with some pesky tiny phillips head screws.  I succeeded in ...

The most notable thing going on right now: pandemic.  Concurrent readers may find this beginning boring but that shouldn't be too big an issue.  COVID cut off the end of my second semester at Georgia Tech, resulting in a lackluster finish and me absolutely despising remote learning.  I was living again with my parents and I was low on motivation and inspiration after being removed from the stimulating environment of campus.  I had an internship lined up for this past summer and they did not cancel on me luckily.  The company, a startup, was very small and had confidence in the controllability of their workplace.  While I had grand aspirations of completing multiple goals and projects during the summer, I underestimated how much time and energy the job would take.  This was my first full-time and first engineering job for context.  All I managed was getting SOLIDWORKS certification and reading/dreaming about doing cool projects.  Another point...

This is the beginning of the blog. I am starting this blog as a means of documenting my personal doings, especially with respect to projects that I am involved in.  One of the most powerful motivations behind this blog is the regret that I feel for not documenting my previous thoughts and projects and losing a great deal of it to my horrid memory.  After years of resisting any kind of planner/calendar use at a high level, I have finally convinced myself that I would function better if I planned my life out some.  As a result of this realization, I have begun to more deeply ingrain myself into the Google application suite, which includes Blogger. My expectations for this blog: The primary subject that I plan on posting about is whatever project I am working on and have made significant progress with.  This function of the blog has been inspired by the many hands-on, technical blogs and digital portfolios that I have seen while looking at cool shit on the internet.
