This a new blog I made. Hopefully it will become a good resource to learn some math with.
Meditation is the best way to live in the present. I have meditated off and on in the past. Recently, I have started up the habit again. When starting out, I felt like it was a waste of time; however, meditation has many benefits.
Meditation is good for the soul. I feel much more healthy spiritually when I meditate frequently. Living in the present just makes life more simple. Simplicity is appreciated in a hectic life. Stress is replaced with serenity. In addition, there are physical health benefits. Blood pressure lowers and breathing slows. Soreness disappears.
All of these benefits are great, but many people give up meditation too quickly. It is something one becomes better at with practice. Meditation is fairly simple. Choose a chair where your thighs will be perpendicular to the ground. Sit on the chair keeping good posture (spine straight, head looking forward). Rest your hands where they are comfortable (e.g. on you knees). Close your eyes, take deep breaths, and clear your mind. Eventually you can just concentrate on breathing, but at first it is easier to concentrate on a mantra. I personally like “right here, right now”.
That’s it. Keep in mind that is only the way I like to do it. You have many options to choose from. Just google it and stick with whatever suits you best. In a short time, your quality of life can improve.
Life is short. Though each day seems to last a decade, a year goes by in a second. What am I supposed to do with all those seconds? Pursue happiness? I do not even know how to do that. I can try to exercise and live longer but why? I will probably lose more time exercising than if I did something else. I can party; that is always fun. Too bad all the happiness is just a facade. Maybe if I have children, they can grow up and do something important or their children will. I can learn. And love. I suppose I should try to help other people too. At least it will have meaning. To Life!

A while ago I cut the cord of an xbox controller and soldered the appropriate wires to a usb cord. With the xbcd driver I could use it with the computer. Unfortunately there was something wrong with the wire and after about a month it stopped working. I noticed the problem was around where the cord connected to the controller. I decided my best chance of fixing it was to remove the whole xbox part of the cord and solder the usb cord inside the casing. I did so and now not only does it work better but also looks better. However, I now use a linux computer and a driver does not exist. I am going to take that on as a new project. EDIT: Oops, there is a driver xpad. Unfortunately I still need to figure out how to get it to work.
