Desiderata Errata

This is a humorous interpretation of the Christian bible based on radiation therapy clinics, inspired by a random work conversation. Don't expect full consistency when humor takes priority, and hopefully it's not too offensive to anyone. Created by AI and edited/cleaned up by myself. The Old Workflows Chapter One [1:1] In the beginning, Varian created ARIA and Eclipse for the Department. [1:2] And the clinic was without schedule, and void; empty appointment slots covered the face of the database. Confusion moved upon the faces of the therapists. And the Spirit of Physics hovered over the network drives. [1:3] And Varian said, "Let there be a patient chart." And there was a patient chart. [1:4] And Varian saw the chart, that it was complete. And Varian separated the unsigned document from the signed document. [1:5] And Varian called the signed document Ready for Treatment, and the unsigned document Returned to Dosimetry. And the evening QA and the morning huddle were t...

Just a fun side project I've thought about for several years. My phone notification has been the Mario coin sound since forever, and a friend once joked about making the 1UP sound after 100 notifications. Never had the time to dig deep enough into Android development but was able to put this together with Gemini and Claude assistance. I started the process to publish it in the Play store, but the 12 tester requirement is too much for a personal project, so feel free to grab it and sideload from Github .

 'Tis the season I've done the 10,000 Swing Challenge  several times as a New Year challenge for January, but I have found that the biggest challenge (for me) is the boredom after a couple of weeks. It's possible to change up the reps and sets and kettlebell sizes to make it more interesting, but it still becomes a slog towards the end. A while back I was reading some old DJU essays and something about the title  Insights From the 10,000 Rep Challenge  rolled around my brain for a while before the idea struck me: what if the challenge was 10,000 reps of any exercise? I quickly realized that no matter what exercise you picked, any single exercise would fall victim to the same issue of boredom after a couple of weeks. Not to mention the lack of balance in other movement patterns. My idea: split the 10,000 reps among multiple movements. The Challenge 100 reps of the  5 human movements every day, Monday - Friday, for a total of 500 reps each day, for 4 weeks....

This won't be as earth-shaking as a dedicated subwoofer amp and speaker, but it does provide a big improvement over the stock B&O subwoofer found in the Mach-E. Gives a real thump to the deep bass. It also has the benefit of not modifying any stock parts.

I'm terrible at catchy names. Who is this for? Anyone with some experience lifting weights that wants a bus bench (do this!) program with a self-limiting progression based on actual performance, built around the squat, hinge, and press movements. It's also based around 2 week cycles, so feedback is fast and it's good for those with program ADHD like myself (squirrel!). I consider this a beginner to intermediate program, not a program for chasing an 800 lb. deadlift. It was inspired in part by Jim Wendler's excellent 5/3/1 program along with other programs I've used in the past. Program Structure Lift weights 3 days per week. For example, Monday-Wednesday-Friday or Tuesday-Thursday-Saturday. Allow at least one day between lifting sessions for recovery. Each lifting session consists of a warmup, the primary and secondary lifts for that session, and a cooldown. Each session should be around 30-45 minutes, unless you're doing something like a long walk afterwards. L...
