I played my share of racing games, but this was never my favorite genre. Still, this week’s links have […]

I often debate the decision to post these on Tuesdays. We all know about Mondays–they shock the system. Monday night, when I put these together is not always ideal. I’m often tired and motivation is fleeting. Once in a while, I’ll get up early. But I’m not an early riser by nature. I like Tuesday […]
I’m not a fan of the band Toto. Their song Africa is an 80’s anthem, ranking #492 on Rolling Stone’s 500 greatest songs of all time. It’s not that high on my list, but like most creative endeavors, it’s subjective. If you get to the bottom of this week’s list, you’ll find a gem of […]

It’s been a weird week or two. Up and down, highs and lows, with some old friends and new colleagues–all over the map. This isn’t bad, it’s just a confluence of events hitting at once. Mostly, it’s interesting and a good vantage point for reflection. I’m trying to take it all in and enjoy the […]
I don’t know what happened to the first month of 2024. If the rest of this year goes by at this speed I don’t know how I’ll keep up. As usual, I’ll keep plugging away–enjoy the links.

2024 is off and running. I’ve been trying to get off on a good foot with some changes to my routine. So far this hasn’t gone to plan. Last week, my weekly post had the wrong date. It’s not a big deal, but not ideal. My attempt to do “100 Days of Code” isn’t going […]
