I’ve been putting off a minor soldering project for over a week now. I don’t know why I’m inflating it into something huge. It’s just one more example of my procastination superpower.
Anyhow, rather than do anything constructive, I wrote this:
ODE TO SOLDERING!
Oh joy of doing things!
Oh joy of hardware hacking!
Oh joy of circuit fabrication!
The pieces are arranged
The iron heats
The rosen melts
The circuit is complete
What is creativity
But the combining of elements?
Soldering is creativity
A poetry of components and currents
(With a funny smell).
Oh come, let us to solder!
Oh plug in the iron!
Oh wait for it to heat!
Oh do it already, for crying out loud!
