Hey there
The last couple of days I thought a lot about this website, my projects and a way to publish my thoughts. Not for fame or lots of attention, but to track my path in different areas of my life. I like to create lots of notes, read books, listen to podcasts, lectures or discussions. But I rarely publish anything about it. My main way to communicate my thoughts and learnings are lectures at work or in church. What I would like is to learn writing. I want to create blog posts, project journals or something else of that sort. While writing a bigger blog post about the Zettelkasten method and how it helped me to create a bigger lecture, I thought of a simpler way to write and publish my musings of the last month in a post like this. So this is my first try to create a monthly musing ^^

Projects
My wife took all her recipes to ChefPlanner which surfaced some bugs and some wanted features. - It feels good to have my first side project that has its first user.
I created a small CLI program in Go that talks to the OpenAI API and creates 4 different options to a question that is typed in. You can then choose an option which will show if the result is correct. I have bigger plans about this. This is just a concept. More on that in the future.

New Keyboard Build
I currently use a Moonlander as my daily keyboard. I have got it two years ago. It’s great, but there is one thing that annoys me a lot - cables. So I went down the rabbit hole looking for the best alternative. My conditions were: Cheaper than the Moonlander; Wireless with a longer runtime than a week; Compact; looking cool; I found some great videos:
That’s just the videos that stuck out. I also read through lots of GitHub repos. Here are some of them:

As you can see, I read a lot about the CORNE. It seems like a really popular keyboard build. And yes, it means soldering it myself. I like the challenge and the options with it. Right now I’m really stuck on this idea but still want to think everything through. The only things I already ordered are some new keycaps and the batteries because they come from China with a delivery of two months.
🌱 Faith
Christianity and AI
This is the topic I held a lecture about a week ago. It’s an interesting topic about technology and ethics. I will probably create a whole article about this. What I can say now is that I recommend the book 2048 Artificial Intelligence and the Future of Humanity. If you like this topic, there are multiple videos of Dr. John Lennox on YouTube that I would recommend watching ;)
Have a good one, peace ✌️
