Strang’s Calculus

3/30/2017

Here is a cool post I found with Calc review

maxwellsequations:
Scans of the inside covers of Strang’s Calculus, which you can legally-download for free here from the MIT website. This is my all-time favorite math or physics textbook.

Scanned it so I could cut and paste it into my new sketchbook, wanna try and make a ~cool artistic~ reference poster out of it, ‘cuz I’ve been real into that idea since I took notes about rings for the algebra midterm on a big piece of watercolor paper.

Best Website to Design Your Own Tiny HOuse

3/28/2017

I recently designed my own tiny house using a fantastic room designing website....Its very easy to use, free, and there are lots of options.

The awesome website is called the Icovia Room Planner "The Make Room"

Link: http://urbanbarn.icovia.com/

^This is why the website looks like when you get there. Click launch to begin.

You then choose a template to start with. If you are designing a house, there are larger models on the left and if you want something simpler you can choose an option on the right.

I chose to start with one on the right.

You can change pretty much anything you want to. There was no reason for me to change the shape of my area, however it can be done!

Again, there are many, many options!

For example, the "generic symbols" tab has categories of:

furniture
patio
gym/fitness
fixtures/appliances
wiring
landscape
buildings
miscellaneous

Above you can see that there are many subcategories of furniture to choose from.

For a second illustration in case the image is hard to read, I will include the subcategories under gym/fitness:

elliptical trainers
ecersize bikes + indoor cycling bikes
treadmills
steppers
abdominal products
yoga + aerobics
exercise balls
total body gyms
multi gyms
free weights
weight benches
power racks
rowing
smith machines
lower body + leg machines
boxing + martial arts
locker room
miscellaneous

There are many many options!!

You can also change the size, color, and orientation of the items you choose.

I found the tool to be extremely helpful.

Here is what my near-finished house looks like. I could have also chosen to add color if I would have liked to any of the pieces.

Note that this post is *not* sponsored in any way, I just thought that the website is great and wanted to share, haha.

Would You Want to Come Home to You?

I really liked this so I thought I would share:

I’m sure you’ve seen the Facebook post floating around. It’s a picture of a Nerf gun with a note attached from a wife: “Husband: Welcome home. I’m hiding in the house with a Nerf gun. Here’s the other one. The loser cooks dinner tonight. May the odds be forever in your favor. XOXOXO” It’s usually accompanied by some comment like “Relationship Goals.”

I have to admit that every time I see it, I roll my eyes.

Because, really.

It honestly, truly isn’t a goal of mine to have a Nerf gun battle when Chad gets off work in the evening. In fact, most nights I’m more interested in the extra set of hands that walks through the door when he arrives. Three kids, homework folders, dinner, math assignments, extracurricular activities, baths, and I guess in between all that I forgot to schedule a playful Nerf gun battle with the only adult that I will interact with today.

But, despite my bad attitude about grown up Nerf wars, I do think there’s an important element of that Facebook post that husbands and wives often overlook. We need to stop and ask ourselves a question: Am I pleasant to come home to? Sure, I may not be plotting an elaborate game to play when he walks in the door, but am I generally a person who isn’t easily irritated? Who doesn’t fly off the handle at the least little provocation? Am I someone who inquires about my spouse’s day? Makes him a priority? When my husband thinks about seeing me at the end of a long day, does he look forward to getting home?

Chad and I spend a fair amount of time counseling couples who are having marriage struggles. One thing I often find myself telling these couples is to simply be nice to each other. No one wants to come home to find a grouchy husband or an irritated wife. We all want to walk into the door of our homes at night knowing that we’re walking into a pleasant place, where we are loved and supported and listened to.

Not every night is going to be loads of fun and wildly memorable. But, with just a little bit of thoughtfulness and effort, most every night really can be a pleasant and encouraging experience. People sometimes comment about how much Chad and I seem to like each other. And, it’s true. We are friends, and we treat each other as such. Of course we have said things that were unkind. We have spoken in tones that weren’t so sweet. But, for the most part, we enjoy being together because when we’re together we are having fun. Not Nerf gun battle fun, but fun.

This Christmas week seems like the perfect time to examine ourselves and decide: Would I want to come home to me? If the answer is no, it’s time we make some changes and become the kind of spouse that is pleasant to be around. I think you would be surprised what a difference it can make in your marriage
