1. Just finished “A Prince of Our Disorder”, a biography of TE Lawrence that was much weaker than expected. Lawrence held a special place for liberals who believe in national self-determination, and the story of the Arab betrayal was important to them.
I think “tinkering” with technical things is within the reach of most people. The common view is that the division of labour has made this kind of “renaissance man” impossible. I’m not so sure. Lawrence is exception, but a humble emulation is probably possible.

May I ask you, if you know, where one should begin with becoming more proficient in mechanical matters plus computers?

I’m useless at this stuff, although I did once build a heat box for melting honey from scratch (very badly). I think there’s no excuse not to learn if you’re determined: the resources are online, whether videos or instructions. I’d just pick a specific project & search.

Yep, you’re right, I’ll find a project and see it to completion. And then another... Thanks

I’ll start with disarming my seatbelt alarm in my car
