4 of 52 for 2021
It’s odd when you put the output in those terms. There’s a long way to go, but we’re off and running. I’ve spent a fair amount of time in the last few months trying to tie up some design loose ends. I had/have way too many projects that sat unfinished, left for dead on a hard drive. I’m hoping to have another one complete (or at least ready for public consumption) next week and it feels good to get them to a presentable state. There’s always more that can be done on these projects. Another enhancement, another level of detail or a new version. In order to make new things we have to put the other thoughts down. It doesn’t have to be forever, but in order to clear the mind it must be done.
