Holistic Home Office

by Bob Mccoy

I am Aodha!

These stories are very powerful medicine. They are often hypothetical, rather than established fact. I am not a doctor or lawyer. I have no credentials of any kind. I have no authority about anything other than my own personal autonomy. I just like reading and learning and telling stories.

Thanks be to God for every good thing. I want God to be loving, caring and greater than me. I want Baha’u’llah to be Who He says He is.

I offer this website as a tool you can use to help you improve yourself. Explore your way through this very advanced, high performance, entertaining education about building your own free enterprise, in our one universal commonwealth.

Read as many of the stories as you want to, as many times as you want to. Watch the videos to learn some good ideas about how to unleash your free enterprise. It’s just me, working in my own holistic home office. I am a digital artist, practicing using a variety of tools to create a high performance, entertaining education for anyone who is interested in reading the stories.

I want to help anyone who wants help; get started. You are responsible and accountable for yourself. Unleash your free enterprise.

Have faith in God.

Whether you agree with me about any particular issue or not, read the stories and watch the videos, to get a holistic perspective of social and economic development in your life on this planet. A lot of people, including me, like to complain about how things are going. I am offering solutions here. I am showing anyone who wants to learn and is willing to work, a way to thrive in our one, global, space-faring federation of self-governing nations.

Aodha

“Anyone who wants to learn,” is an important concept. I’m not interested in forcing anyone to believe or do anything. I am just a normal person. No more or less important than anyone else. I have done a lot of research, in the course of my own personal recovery, and I am sharing what I’ve learned with anyone who wants to improve themselves.

The stories are arranged into sections, for Office, Computer, Website, Artisan and Speis. Each section in the main menu is further divided into sections about that subject, and most of those subsections include a list of stories you can read or watch.

Even though the website design and my writing style may seem amateur and not very well produced, the content of the stories is exceptionally valuable. I’ve been studying these subjects for more than 60 years now, and I’m still learning the science and technology as I go. The stories are the notes I’m taking as I learn.

I’ve been exploring human nature and civilization and computer science and artificial intelligence for quite a while now. Independent investigation of truth, provides a valuable perspective of what ever subject you are interested in.

My holistic, outside the mainstream, perspective of the subjects is valuable. Describing business, computer science, art and self improvement, health and spirituality all together in one place is a valuable perspective.

A Global Perspective

Most of the documentation I’ve found on the Internet usually talks about one application and rarely talks about the other applications that that application works with. My stories are intentionally written to describe working with sets of tools to accomplish creative activity.

These stories do not replace the technical manuals, they compliment them. Repetition is a good teaching and learning technique. My superficial, incomplete description of the technical subjects is just an introduction to the subjects. Read the stories on Holistic Home Office and read the manuals for the applications you want to use. I recommend reading this entire website. Watch all the videos.

I’m writing about subjects I am investigating. I am writing about things I am trying to understand. This perspective of the subjects is valuable for anyone trying to do the same thing. It doesn’t replace traditional education, it supplements it. Read the stories. Watch the videos. You will still be you, responsible and accountable for yourself. Free and equal, just like you always were and always will be.

If you disagree with some of my ideas, then keep reading and keep watching. Everything I say is just my opinion, my perspective of the truth. I have no credentials, other than a GED, and no authority to speak for anyone other than myself. Add value to my ideas to create your own free enterprise.

Start at the top of the Home section, at the top left of the main menu, and work your way all the way through to the last story under Speis, on the bottom right of the main menu, to get a very advanced, holistic education about creating your own free enterprise, in your own holistic home office. HomoSpeis Hypothesis is an epic story about human nature and civilization.

Your holistic home office needs to be profitable in order to be sustainable, so start planning your monetization strategy, right from the start. Read the stories in the Office section, to get some ideas about how to do that.

You are responsible and accountable to God, for yourself, and for the profitability and sustainability of your holistic home office. homeoffice.studio is intended to be a catalyst that inspires you to ask the right questions and to show you resources that you can use to work on answering the questions, to help you get started in your self-motivated, self-directed, free enterprise.

The computer section of the website is actually a group of stories about computer operating systems and desktop environments. I start out promoting the KDE Linux system that I like, but it’s really up to you to choose which operating system and desktop that you like. Most of you will like proprietary software and there is nothing wrong with that. It wont hurt you to learn a little about free and open source software.

Website development is a whole nother subject. I’m most familiar with WordPress and Drupal. I’m interested in learning Python and developing websites using Django and Flask. Full stack web development is a very valuable skill to learn. I’ve settled on using the very popular and relatively easy to learn, WordPress.

Be an artisan. Develop your skills. Learn how to use these digital tools and then present your art on your website. Make an amazing, beautiful kaleidoscope of ideas, imagination, art and entertaining education.

Speis is an ancient word that means spirit. Submission to God is the inner essence of any true religion. Family values is a vital feature of any sustainable civilization. You are what you eat. Natural whole food is good for you, processed food is not very healthy. Qigong is good for you.

Do not use drugs. Using drugs degrades human consciousness. Do not litter. Be kind, friendly and polite. Every human being is equally precious and noble. Love and respect each other.

The one hour video on this page is actually, three older videos that I have edited and strung together into an introduction to the concept of Holistic Home Office. I published my first video on April 1st, 2021. Within a short few months, I’ve gone from putting up raw videos from my phone, to producing complex videos in Kdenlive. And I’ve got quite a few of them.

I’ve noticed that I have a tendency to start slowly, with a not sure I know what I’m doing expression. The expression is actually genuine. Then, I get comfortable and just tell stories in my own style. Spock and Columbo are two of my favorite role models. I am an absent minded professor, with a world class education.

I’m also learning how to use the technology and produce visually appealing videos. I’ve made a lot of progress and I still have a lot of progress to make.
