Annual e-waste
More e-waste each year than almost any other tech waste stream. Less than 20% is recycled properly. The rest becomes pollution.
ABOUT BRET
Forty years of building, breaking, and rebuilding.
Bret Fencl has been writing songs since 1985 and building software since the Commodore 64 days. He is a Certified Yoga Teacher, web designer, inventor, and a three-time knee surgery survivor. The first surgery, in 1991, came from a motorcycle accident; he got married two months later still in a full leg cast, and rebuilt his strength by riding a bicycle every day on the theory that “you don't need an ACL to ride a bike.”
He has been collecting ideas, experiments, recipes, formulas, drills, and field notes for decades — mostly to use himself, eventually for the people he teaches in person. EnlighteningAll is where those notebooks are finally being shipped as software anyone can use, offline, on their own device, without an account or a subscription.
The OneCharacterCode patent-pending engine compresses each cartridge into a self-contained payload that runs without a server. The slider is the shell; the cartridges are the apps; the holder gate is the only login. The cartridges, field notes, and offline tools are things he actually uses every day.
“You can lose weight later. You cannot redo healing. Feeding recovery is not indulgence. It's responsibility.”
— Knee Surgery Survival Guide, ch.2
