+**Now playing:** Armored Core 4
+
+**Now reading:** L'Europe à l'épreuve des Balkans by Xavier Gautier
+
+About to finish university and motivated to start some new personal projects, I hope I can muster
+the determination to see them through, they have potential.
+
+I want to delve into 3D CAD with OpenSCAD. Brian S. Stephan published some weeks ago a pretty interesting
+design for an arcade stick case on his [git repo](https://git.incorporeal.org/bss/buildable-stick-system),
+and I want to make some modifications, open a PR and hopefully, have it merged. I'd like to add compatibility
+with korean levers and 3mm thick acrylic top panels for accommodating art.
+
+In the realm of programming, I have some ideas that I'd like to see through. I wish to learn embedded programming in the RP2040
+microcontroller, the one that powers up the raspberry pi pico. As a practice project, make a simple scientific
+calculator with an LCD screen, even oled, I like how they look like. After that, start developing a library for interfacing
+Playstation 2 controllers and finally, have the ultimate, custom Playstation 2 arcade stick. The thought alone makes me drool.
+
+Got into personal accounting recently too, with [hledger](https://hledger.org/). I think it's an interesting system, and although
+I'm not a power user, I see the potential in automating accounting tasks when working with a plain text system like hledger.
+Looked for parsing libraries for it, and found none. Maybe it's a good idea to make one, potentially in C so it can be embedded
+into extensible languages like Python or Ruby. Python already has a package with different utilities for working with hledger's
+journal files, but parsing them has potential for so much more.
