Last Update 2026-05-04

Piggy backing on Dr Mario’s ‘Now ’ page, whom I thoroughly admire, and originally Derek Sivers now movement here I will lay out my ambitions and where I’m at.

My intention is to keep this updated monthly, as I prepare my habit tracking for the month.

Focus for the month

TRMNL Project

I want to dedicate a video (language to be decided) to setting up a TRMNL kit in my Selfhosted environment. The scope of the project is ambitious, I don’t plan to just set up the server and run it, the idea is to:

  1. Design and 3D print an enclosure that can be mounted on the fridge and used on a table with a kick stand. I love the hinge of the Nintendo Switch 2 and aim to design something like it -> ✅ I talk about this in TRMNL
  2. Create a Docker-compose to deploy the BYOS Terminus server and host it
  3. Create a small add-on for Tandoor recipe manager to display recipes and calories intake.
  4. Play around with existent widgets for the TMRNL to make it truly informative (Calendar, Quote of the day, Photo, next day’s calendar…)
  5. Craft an accent piece in wood, the frame.
  6. Film the whole thing aesthetically
  7. Edit the video while learning Davinci Resolve
