I’m building an off grid tiny cabin. Solar power, spring water.

The solar power has been a challenge. The SolarDIY subreddit has been super helpful in understanding this subject I knew nothing about.

I live near a bunch of Amish and recently one gave me a riddle and told me if I solved it, she’d bake me a pie. I solved it!

In return, I have used a Playfair Square to provide her a riddle. I’m giving her all the instructions on how to decode it.

I spend a lot of time thinking about passion and why people are motivated to do the things they do. Engineering, or even just harnessing, passion would be super useful. I wonder about passion as people age: does it diminish or does it just change?

So many thoughts here but if we are defined by our actions, and our passions/interests tend to guide our actions… then our interests tend to define us. And yet, we seem to have little-to-no control over what interests us.



What was the riddle?
