learning about small-scale farming and sustainable living. In the future we

hope to create a community space where we give back to the community that

welcomed and supported us.</p>

<title>Start a Community Makerspace</title>

<content type="html"><![CDATA[<p>A space for all to bring their ideas to the real world.</p>
|
|
<p>Everyone should have the opportunity to bring their ideas to life. For some
|
|
people this requires just a computer and a flat work surface. For others
|
|
however, more infrasructure may be required …like tablesaws, and welders.</p>
|
|
<p>At our home on Orcas Island, I am fortunate enough to have lots of tools and
|
|
space. My question now is how to open those up to my wonderful community in a
|
|
way that is safe and sustainable. I don’t have all the answers for this
|
|
project yet, but it is a goal I am working towards.</p>

|
|
<p>The Orcas Food Co-op is a local business, providing healthy, local, organic
|
|
food to the community of Orcas Island, and several surrounding islands. As a
|
|
co-op, our goals are set by the membership, and we strive to be an exemplar
|
|
business with livable wages, equitable and affordable access, zero-waste, and
|
|
local products. As we finish off 2020 the co-op is growing faster than ever,
|
|
with several expansion projects underway.</p>
|
|
<p>As a member of the board, the community has elected me to help the co-op
|
|
realize those goals they set. I work closely with the general manager to
|
|
review the financial health of the business, and participate in monthly
|
|
meetings with the management staff to strategize how the co-op can continue
|
|
to better serve our island communities.</p>]]></content>

|
|
<p>Ever since the Obsidian team released the beta public API, plugin development
|
|
has been a major component of my morning routine. Developing plugins not only
|
|
shapes this tool to better suite my needs, but also teaches me more about UI
|
|
development than I ever expected. At this point I am very comfortable with
|
|
TypeScript, Svelte, and React, and even becoming more comfortable with CSS.</p>
|
|
<p>I couldn’t be happier with what these projects have helped me achieve, and
|
|
greatly enjoy this part of my morning every day.</p>

<title>Advanced Markdown Tables</title>

<description><p>Improved navigation, formatting, manipulation, and even formulas in Markdown tables.</p></description>
|
|
<content type="html"><![CDATA[<p>Improved navigation, formatting, manipulation, and even formulas in Markdown tables.</p>
|
|
<p>I am an avid proponent of maintaining a personal wiki, or personal knowledge
|
|
base. This can be as simple as a paper journal, or as complicated as programs
|
|
like DEVONthink and ROAM Research. Over the last 10 years I have experimented
|
|
with nearly a dozen approaches, but the last few have been fairly minor
|
|
tweaks.</p>
|
|
<p>To reduce the wiki churn, I realized I needed a method which could be easily
|
|
converted into any format in the future, was universally supported, and was
|
|
relatively extensible. I tried out <a href="https://orgmode.org/">org-mode</a> for a
|
|
while, but even with Evil mode, I didn’t enjoy spending time in emacs.</p>
|
|
<p>I completed what I hope to be my last wiki migration over the 2020 summer,
|
|
switching to Markdown. It’s simple, it’s used everywhere, and it seems to be
|
|
gaining ground in the personal wiki space rapidly. But leaving org-mode did
|
|
have some shortfalls. It has amazing utilities for editing tables.</p>
|
|
<p>Building off of the excellent library started by
|
|
<a href="https://github.com/susisu">susisu</a>, I have been working on adding advanced
|
|
features to tables in Markdown. With an editor that has this library
|
|
incorporated (often possible though a plugin), Markdown tables become nearly
|
|
as powerful as they are in org-mode. Automatic formatting,
|
|
adding/moving/removing columns, sorting, and now even some spreadsheet
|
|
capabilities are all possible in plain-text Markdown tables.</p>
|
|
<p><img src="https://raw.githubusercontent.com/tgrosinger/advanced-tables-obsidian/main/resources/screenshots/basic-functionality.gif" alt="Basic functionality"></p>
|
|
<p>I hope this enables you to make the jump to a Markdown-based wiki.</p>
|
|
<p>I recommend <a href="https://obsidian.md/">Obsidian</a>.</p>]]></content>

<title>Custom Keyboards</title>

<content type="html"><![CDATA[<p>Started experimenting with custom keyboard design and fabrication. See <a href="https://git.sr.ht/~tgrosinger/keyboards">the
|
|
designs here</a>.</p>
|
|
<p>For the last several years I have been using the
|
|
<a href="https://www.gboards.ca/product/gergoplex">GergoPlex</a> keyboard. I love the
|
|
ultra-thin profile, and the perfect balance it achieves with having just the
|
|
right number of keys. That being said, there are a couple of changes I’ve wanted
|
|
to make.</p>
|
|
<p>My first new keyboard,
|
|
<a href="https://git.sr.ht/~tgrosinger/keyboards/tree/main/item/chrysemys">Chrysemys</a>,
|
|
is very heavily inspired by the GergoPlex, however it is a single piece rather
|
|
than two half boards connected with a cable. I have also moved the thumb keys
|
|
out towards the center a bit, added Bluetooth connectivity, and used even
|
|
thinner switches. This board is an experiment, and has allowed me to learn a
|
|
tremendous amount about designing circuits and keyboards specifically. I imagine
|
|
there will be many more custom keyboards in my future.</p>
|
|
<p>Some ideas I want to experiment with:</p>
|
|
<ul>
|
|
<li>Adding an optical encoder and roller bearings to support a track ball.</li>
|
|
<li>Adding a salvaged TrackPoint under the right hand index finger (obviously not on the same keyboard as the trackball).</li>
|
|
<li>Integrate the MCU into the board, rather than using a separate socketed board.</li>
|
|
</ul>]]></content>

|
|
<p>Craigslist does not work on Orcas Island. It does not understand that even
|
|
though Bellingham is only a couple miles away, it takes 2 hours to get there. On
|
|
the island most people use a Buy, Sell, Trade group on Facebook instead.</p>
|
|
<p>This project started off as just the desire to use Craigslist without needing to
|
|
use Facebook. I certainly have problems with Facebook, but the group just does
|
|
not work very well for our needs! Orcashub is custom built for the needs of the
|
|
island, and can be adapted as our needs evolve over time.</p>
|
|
<p>As the project matures I plan to also add mailing list and possibly a newsletter
|
|
or events list feature as well. We’ll see what the community asks for.</p>
