A cordless headphone with some extra control

I have a cordless headphone, which is great to use whenever I want to listen to music while being away from my laptop, when I want to wash the dishes early in the morning, for example. The thing is sometimes I want to skip a track forward and I can't do it directly. My headphone has volume control, power button, and a channel button (it's to switch wireless fm channel, to avoid interference with other fm- wave-transmitting device, I guess).

Wouldn't it be great if it just has an extra button, a skip/next track button, at least? Well, I don't use the back button as much. Using Spotify, I have virtually an endless playlist. I don't know if they have made one already. But I figured then the headpiece itself should be a transmitter/receiver device, and the headphone jack is just an output interface, perhaps the whole device would need at least two interfaces for input as well output. Or maybe just one USB port, and let the headphone port obsolete.

About Dog Fight

The front page of a newspaper today raises the illegal dog fight issue. I think they bust an illegal operation somewhere, I didn't really read it. It got me thinking, a dog fight in an arena is illegal, but if it is human beings who are fighting in a certain, it is legal, celebrated even?

What? Is this a matter of free will? What free will?
It's literally human beings choosing to hurt one another for money.
And we celebrate this.

Okay, maybe the fighters actually enjoy it.
As for I, I'm just thankful that I do not need to make that choice.

New Purposes

It's been weeks since I wanted to pour my thoughts into a blog or something, something that would probably outlived me. I was thinking that I wanted to make notes about some ideas, innovation/ invention kind of thing, or maybe a business idea. I also want to get back to poetry. I also have some (surreal) thoughts about how the Chinese descent Indonesian should do to lessen the racial tension in Indonesia, surely I wanted to write this in Indonesian and in another platform.

So my daughter is going to the basisschool next week. I would have plenty time with my mind. I also have marijuana stashed just to get some inspirational boost. My mind is a mess right now, I'm getting old, and I'm having a brain atrophy, I guess. My memory is wasting away, getting very forgetful, unable to concentrate, having no motivation whatsoever, and next week I have a meeting about another Dutch course.

I'm taking a short course in October-November, in Maastricht. about entrepreneurship. I figured if a stay home dad my age want to make a real money, after a five year of unemployment in the field, he would need to be an entrepreneur. Working for a company is not on the table anymore.

I moved my laptop to my room, when I can work without my daughter having to sit on my lap all the time. Better posture for me, more ergonomic, healthier, and I guess I can concentrate better. Maybe I could even smoke a cigarette here. I don't smoke that much anymore, though, I think I'm at 3 cigs per day.

Oh, I have an idea about a horror movie, that I comes from my experience working early morning, in the dark.

I have thoughts about the purpose of life. But I'm a nihilist wannabe now. I wrote wannabe to avoid criticism, but a nihilist should care less about criticism.

See, this post is deliberately cluttered, thoughts pops in and out, and I just wrote whatever, as quickly as possible, without any regard to structure and grammar, because if I don't write it immediately, it will be gone from my mind. And this mess reflects a fraction of the whole mess on my brain. So I'm repurposing this blog, with a new, rejuvenated thoughts, rising from hell, with a new blogging spirit, which will die soon, because this is just a burst of energy, temporary and it will die quickly, because I just don't have any audience on my blog, no, I am not a very social person. And I write just to help myself with the clutters. errs.

Oh, I'm thinking about bouril, a Czech, who used to exchange e-mail with me, he's gone, I think I remember (no checking) that the last time I wrote him is about having my own company. It has not been a reality, but I must, soon. If I love my wife and my daughter, it should be a fight to the death. I would struggle to make it a reality. But this atrophy. Aaargh.

On the other hand I love being a stay home dad, but I feel that being one does not help with my personal development. On the contrary I think I just regressed to a void. Embracing the void and move on. Now.

Okay, New Purposes!
