I played around and got our surround sound temporarily wired… I’ll re-do it and clean up the wiring later but it’s nice finally getting to enjoy the in-wall and in-ceiling speakers again. I’ve also been balancing customer orders but working on getting back to trimming out the network wiring too… after having to retrace where […]
ChatGPT is an open-source project by OpenAI which had a beta release on November 30th, 2022. There has been quite a buzz about the project, its capabilities, and how it can/will effect change in the future – it already is! What is ChatGPT? Let me tell you… better yet, let me allow ChatGPT to tell […]
I’ve often been asked how I dial in cut force, particularly when die cutting… and the answer is testing… with each and every material… each and every time. If you’ve replaced your blade the cut settings may be different. Test again. Trust but verify. When die cutting, the standard/built-in test cut doesn’t work well because […]
I am a listener. I listen to people speak in person, in videos, podcasts, text messages, or emails, and I often try to pick up on the nuances. What are they unconsciously saying, that they aren’t actually saying? Sometimes it’s easy to read between the lines, but typically it takes a bit of patience to […]
Today, well technically yesterday since I’m writing this at almost 2 am, was a LONG day. I’m headed out of town for the day job in the morning, so I’ve worked tirelessly to get every order I possibly could done and prepared for pickup while I’m away; at least 7 orders will be shipped tomorrow, […]
I continue to struggle with dedicating the time to documenting but continue pressing forward with accomplishments on a monthly, weekly, and daily basis. Last weekend I was able to wrap up this trim out of the low voltage wiring in the shop and prepare it to be covered with insulation. Aside from the shop progress, […]
You have to be consistently good to be great. Everyone wants to be great. But what does great look like? Being great looks like being consistently good. (Paraphrased. Source unknown.)
It’s been almost 2 months since my last post, and I hope I can get to a point where I post more frequently and make this more of a habit. I suppose that’s something to add to the list of things to work on! But for now, I just wanted to post a really quick […]
My original concept and purpose of this site was simply to DOCUMENT. Document what? Anything. Everything. Life. However, I’ve found myself hesitant to make a 2nd post, being indecisive about what to write about, and simply not taking action… procrastinating. It’s not HARD to document – to share about what’s been going on in the […]
It’s hard for me to imagine that I built my first website almost 18 years ago – when I first registered the domain drivenbysound.net on June 1st, 2004, for my business Driven By Sound. With very little knowledge of HTML I managed to figure out enough to kick off the first iteration of the website […]
