2023 Project 52 – 2/52
49/52
I had my last final of the semester this week. Grades were done this weekend and I got an “A” in both Cybersecurity and Identity Management; I even got 100% on my 12 page research paper. Hooray and phew! Now…
48/52
This week’s lack of much to post about brought to you by: studying for two finals and finishing a research paper. I did have a wonderful anniversary celebration with the wife this weekend though. We celebrated our 26 years of…
44/52
If you didn’t read my last post, I had a WordPress emergency. I’ve gotten it back to about 90%, but the most recent images are in a strange state. I have to decide what (or if) I want to do…

Work. School. Wash. Rinse. Repeat. Coming into week 6 of 8 of this class. Wish me luck that I pass and never have to deal with it again. I purchased a new (to me … it was used) fountain pen…

My Productivity Process – part 2: Physical

COVID-19 Diary – week 6
Diarrhea of the mouth at this point. Does anybody really care what I think throughout all this? The kids, the wife, the dogs, and I all went for a walk through Four Mile Run in Arlington this weekend. It felt…
My Journal Process
I’ve been writing in my journal for a couple years now. However, it used to be just a recap of the things I did during the day. Sometimes it was only a short bullet list recording events, sometimes a paragraph…
National Handwriting Day
Apparently today is National Handwriting Day. So, in honor of handwriting … I present you with mine:
My 2019 in Books
I made a commitment a couple years ago to read more. I did this for a few reasons. First, I had a lot of books I’d been wanting to read. Two, I spent (spend) way too much time online. Three,…
Choose to Create
Earlier this year I read “Digital Minimalism” by Cal Newport. I already had suspicions, but that book really opened my eyes to how much time I wasted er, spent browsing content on the interwebs. Twitter, Facebook, YouTube, newsfeeds, etc. The…
Inktober 2019
Oh yeah, I have a blog! I’ve been wanting to (re)develop my artistic side. I used to enjoy doodling and just creating stuff. Over time, as life and work have gotten in the way, I stopped creating anything. Blerg. Humans…
I got this
This year has been a rough start for me. Between losing a month of pay with the government shutdown (contractors didn’t get backpay), my contract waiting to be awarded, our dog passing away, and more responsibilities in general, I feel…
Goodreads Reading Challenge
Last year I signed up for Goodreads‘ Reading Challenge. I purchased a used Kindle Paperwhite in December 2017 because I decided I needed to read more … especially more than just professional texts related to work. So I committed to reading…
Notebook Geek
Yikes, has it really been four weeks since I last posted? Oops. To be fair, my daughter moved home and transferred to a local college, my son started his senior year of high school, and my wife started teaching a…
