Updated: 2025-02-02 Sun What is this page? What I'm working on: aleckornblum.com; web programming; htmx ------------------------------------------------------------ I have been working obsessively on my website, https://www.aleckornblum.com, since late 2023. The book hypermedia.systems connected many dots of web programming for me. I read it while starting a Common Lisp web application using the Caveman web framework. The framework provides a default web app structure that was helpful in learning the basics of a hypermedia-based MVC web application. I came across the hypermedia.systems book because I had discovered HTMX in a web programming article on pagination. Once I understood that I could use it to avoid learning JavaScript, I was hooked. I had learned a little bit of JS during COVID but found it quite annoying to use. HTMX is a small JavaScript library that enhances HTML. It facilitates using the server to dynamically update content on the page without a full-page refresh. It can accomplish many common JavaScript-based UI's without any JavaScript. For many applications it can give SPA-comparable interactivity. I have finished the following UI's: * Parking Reminders * Weightlifting * Restaurant Ranking List * Bodyweight tracking * Shared Shopping Lists * Private tools just for meā¦ like Goal Tracking, a Calibre Content Server, a Feeds UI, and financial transaction monitoring. Next up is: * HTTP Data API for alternative client applications than browsers. This will be very useful for linking together my emacs plaintext accounting and the financial tracking UI. * A daily evaluations tool. * Some admin UI's to help me spread the site to others. My site also has static pages of documents I've written. I still need to make a useful sitemap. Or I might change to a minimalist blog tool for org-mode (like org-static-blog) to make things easier. I rediscovered pgAdmin for postgresql. Since I am running postgres in development and production, it's become a useful tool for me. The part I'm enjoying most is using it to graph the relationships in my database, plus for quickly bootstrapping example data when working on CRUD operations. Of course I work on them as RCDUā¦ What I'm listening to: Bible in a Year & Catechism in a Year, plus others ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Since I am so obsessed with HTMX, of course I listened to every single scrap of content available online from the HTMX creator. I check the HTMX website daily for new content. Mainly, though, I'm listening through Fr. Schmitz's Bible in a Year to work. I have found the experience enlightening so far. I quite enjoy Fr. Mike's explanations of the Scriptures. However, that is made more powerful by how consistent I can be in listening to these on the way to work. I have made it much farther into the Old Testament than I ever have reading the book normally. After a while, I also picked up Fr. Schmitz's Catechism in a Year for the way home. These are also quite enlightening. I do not like how much Fr. Mike seems to repeat the words of the Catechism. He seems to say what they're gonna say, then he reads it, then he reviews each line one by one just repeating it's meaning. Unfortunately it's a far cry from the Bible in a Year, but of course the Scriptures and Catechism have a different feel to them. Despite my criticism, listening to the podcast has helped me understand much of Catholic belief already, and I look forward to continuing. What I'm reading: Great Books and leisure reading ------------------------------------------------- I have made myself a reading plan based on Mortimer J. Adler's list of Great Books of the West. I am splitting up the Old Testament into sections so that I get some variety. These books should be the main source of reference and permanent notes for my zettelkasten. On top of these I do have some leisure reading books. I've almost read the Lord of the Rings and Silmarillion intertwined. I finished Leviathan Wakes this year and am moving on to Caliban's War. ### Phase 1 Great Books Goal: * `[X]` Homer * `[X]` Iliad * `[X]` Odyssey * Old Testament Books: * `[X]` Genesis * `[X]` Exodus * Leviticus * Numbers * Deuteronomy * `[X]` Plato: * `[X]` Apology * `[X]` Symposium * `[X]` Phaedrus * `[X]` Phaedo * `[X]` Sophocles Theban Tragedies: * `[X]` King Oedipus * `[X]` Oedipus at Colonus * `[X]` Antigone * `[Ā ]` Ovid: Metamorphoses * `[-]` Shakespeare * `[X]` Macbeth * `[Ā ]` King Lear * `[Ā ]` Hamlet * `[Ā ]` The Federalist Papers ### Phase 2 Great Books Goal: * Old Testament * Joshua * Judges * Ruth * Kings 1 * Kings 2 * Plato * Sophist * Aristotle * Nichomachean Ethics * Sir Gawain and the Green Knight * Shakespeare: Comedy of Errors * Mark Twain: Adventures of Huckleberry Finn What I'm writing: zettelkasten notes ------------------------------------ I am not making a superb amount of progress on any particular writing project right now. However, writing zettelkasten notes is the precursor to writing excellence. I am writing reference notes and recording unique, atomic ideas in my electronic zettelkasten. Where I'm working: Lubrizol Bayport as Operations Technical Leader ------------------------------------------------------------------ I took a promotion this year to become a Production Superintendent at the Lubrizol Bayport, TX plant. It has been quite the learning experience and a bump in responsibility. I'm looking forward to rising to the challenge! We've been getting results and making improvements. We completed a turnaround and that was a great learning experience. We implemented an operator-centric daily tiered meeting schedule to solve problems encountered in the control room. I led the Standard Work reorganization and implementation as Asset Operations Champion leader. I am most excited about the improvements we made in filtration. It is quite fun to see results when you apply a good working principle for a piece of equipment. Another interesting fact is that I have taken to using the Lubrizol-provided low-code solution: Microsoft Power Apps. If you had told me this years ago I would probably have puked. However, the experience has taught me the benefits of using a technology the company truly supports (for a "citizen developer" like myself). I've also learned some of the benefits of a low-code solution. In particular, the low-code nature of it implies that it abstracts away boilerplate code into visual pieces. In particular, I think this means many aspects of the CRUD of an app are quite easy in low-code development. This is nice! Low-code development (oddly enough) seems to focus all coding that _is_ necessary to be business-logic development. Again, I never thought I would write or utter something like that when I started coding for my hobby!! It has been a time of great change at Lubrizol. The leadership of our new CEO has required all of us to become change agents. My boss knew as much would be true when he hired me. I am open minded in many things, and also quite conservative in temperament. I believe I can balance these things at work. It seems this has been a crucible for these two aspects of my personality, and does take its toll on me. What I'm learning: how to speak German (ich lerne Deutsch) ---------------------------------------------------------- I have always wanted to learn another language. It's something I can not at all imagine without doing it myself. Since I married the most wonderful woman in the world, Claudia Maria Krah (now Kornblum), and she speaks German, I've decided to take the dive into Deutsch. I started 150+ days ago with Duolingo and have added some other grammar studies in addition. Claudia and I try to speak German to one another just a little each day. Ich muss noch groĆen Fortschritt machen. How I'm staying healthy: weightlifting -------------------------------------- In the recent past I've practiced Brazilian Jiu Jitsu and Muay Thai, but I have put that on pause for the moment. I need to find a better schedule for myself if I'm going to pick that back up. Right now, I'm focused quite a lot on weightlifting. I built my own website, in part, to give myself a nice UI for tracking my weightlifting. Another thing I've focused on is sticking to my program. After completing , I realized the desire to keep a "streak" ongoing was fairly useful to reinforce daily action. So I programmed that into my website! Since then I've had an 80 day streak of workouts! Know, of course, that I allow myself one day of stretching (Sunday) to count towards streaks, as well as some Active Rest Days as needed for longevity. I can't control when I get sick!! I'm following Mark Rippetoe's book Practical Programming for Strength Training, in particular the section for intermediates called The Texas Method. It's been a difficult program, but the longer my streak the stronger I'm getting. It's effective!

This is a Now page telling you what Iām up to at this point in my life. It used to be a static page that Iād update every so often; these days itās an archive of all the Now pages I still have on file. * February 2025 ### Things almost seem normal again Every now and then, when the moment is just right, I forget that I canāt really _walk_ just yet. Like the morning of this photo, when I did my home-famous ballet jump, only to land on my left foot in a way that made me regret everything. It was the morning of my birthday gift to Anja: a taster class at Studio Pansa, where she hadnāt been since her head injury. About three months ago, I triple-fractured my ankle. What came after was a transformation, both of the body and of the mind. ### At work, Thereās much to discover. Weāre full steam ahead, and there are plenty of unknowns to investigate, which means Iāve got my hands in the clay of delicious exploratory research. Iām impressed with how capable we all are of committing to continuous research. Meanwhile, Gerimedica is growing, and itās great to welcome new faces. ### Health-wise, Iām delighted by my progress. When I was on the ground behind the Royal Palace, tired head resting on the cobblestones, getting acquainted with the sensation of fracture, one thought hovered in my head: Iāll wake up in April thinking āoh wow, I can barely remember what that felt like.ā Nothing could be further from the truth. Every day, I have at least half a dozen dĆ©jĆ vus. Remember when bathroom visits were pistol squats? Remember when you couldnāt walk into the patio at home? Remember when you couldnāt walk to the tram stop? Remember when you couldnāt walk and hold anything but crutches? Remember how your left leg was elevated two feet at bedtime, 7 weeks in a row? Physical therapy thrice weekly is doing wonders. ### At home, Weāre taking on DIY projects again. Now that Iām better able to help out around the house, Anja gets a much-needed break from it all. Also: home improvement! We recently began remodeling our bathroom, and boy, does it look sexy. I feel like I live in a Swedish hotel. All Saints continues to grow. While weāre still a small bunch, familiar faces keep returning to join a church service, to attend morning or evening prayer. Recently, we hosted a Bible study at the most progressive queer bar in town. Shouting thoughtfulness across the table over loud music, and sitting with our eyes closed praying for each other felt so powerful. I love the community weāre perpetually becoming. ### What Iām looking forward to Iām impatient to get back to ānormalā, foot-wise, because I have things to do! Weāre hoping to make it to Paris in late April, and in the meantime, my excitement for pottery continues to simmer. Iām looking to enroll in an eight-week ceramics course to better understand the process, and to get that coveted status of being eligible to become a studio member at Pansa. * September 2024 Here I am with Anja outside Badeta, a local coffee place. We visited het dad in de Bijlmer this morning, and just finished biking back to Indische Buurt. I love riding my bike with her. This is one of our micro dates: a little pocket of quiet time for coffee or ice cream. Itās a good day. ### Work is slow but sweet Iām coming out of a slow period at work: projects wrapping up, establishing new objectives, reporting back on research. Iām excited about something new, something to sink my teeth into. Something difficult, intricate, substantive. In the meantime there is the never-boring project of being the best coworker I can be. In the past few months, Iāve had one or two headaches about that, but I feel Iām making progress. ### At home in Indische Buurt, Anja, Lemonade, and I spent the Summer essentially hibernating in Amsterdam as we took care of a few health challenges. Itās sweet to see we manage well together, but boy, am I excited to get out of the country for a solo trip in September. Iāll be visiting my sister and her children, as well as Godzilla. Things are slowly picking up again after the Summer break. On Sunday, All Saints will celebrate homecoming. Iāve missed my church family. In addition, the most recent Omek Summit culminated in the founding of the Omek Innovation Lab, of which I am a part. Iām looking forward to working with other Africans on digital and physical technology, and stepping into more of an R&D research role. ### Lastly, I am stoked that Iāve successfully established a workout routine. Personal health challenges make it notoriously difficult for me to work out in a way thatās healthy and sustainable, and after five months of taking it more slowly than I ever nightmared I could, I find myself embracing early morning workouts that really set the tone for the rest of the day. #Proud. * August 2024 Here I am at the Gerimedica office, posing for an employer branding photoshoot. I usually donāt use that whiteboard to draw anything, but that _is_ my desk in the background, and that smile is genuine. I gave a great talk at our periodic company update, and I feel Iām doing good work that helps the company reach its goals. Itās a good day. The days have been good. ### Right now, Iām * At home in Amsterdamās Indische Buurt, where I share a small shoebox with Anja and Lemonade. We are childless child-free and enjoying every bit of it. * Enjoying the alternation of sunny and rainy days * Appreciating how the environment of Amsterdam allows me to meet new people almost everywhere I go * Helping out at All Saints to make it the church I need it to be * Working out again and loving it * Making music in my spare time, and moving slowly as I set up my personal space for recording and writing * Trying to bring my ideas and experiences into my writing more * September 2023 ### Existing In Amsterdamās finest neighborhood, de Indische Buurt, Iām watching the autumn set in, and Iām loving every minute of it. Apart from the scorching hot first week of September, everything about the weather tells me itās time for _hygge, hygge, hygge_. Anjaās back in school, which means Iām settling back into a more structured hybrid work method. Wednesdays I spend at the office, and the other days I start off at home, and join my coworkers on-site on most afternoons. I love this, and the structure of it all is doing me good. ### Enjoying Unlike what I had planned, I barely spent any time in the pool this summer. What I did continue to develop is my yin yoga practice, alongside a practice of guided and unguided meditation. To decompress in the mornings and evenings, piano practice remains a close friend. Iām not making the progress I want to be making, but composition and singing help me regulate emotions stunningly well. Lastly, Iām fond of the writing practice Iāve established. I publish on this website, write in my diary, and correspond via snail mail with a few friends. I feel fortunate to be engaged in a number of communities where I meet people in which I can see myself. A few months ago, I discovered Bar Bario, a place by and for queer people of color. In addition, Iām enjoying watching the community grow at All Saints Amsterdam, where Iāve joined the team as website person. In the margins of my thoughts, Iām slowly putting together what the future of \[\[Queer Salon\]\] will be. ### Working Iām approaching 6 months at Gerimedica, where Iām a senior-but-silly researcher and designer. The term _senior-but-silly_ is growing on me, because it helps me be humbly confident, and open to the whimsyās of working with other people for a common good. Iām impressed by the company Gerimedica has become, and I am even more excited about their current challenges than I was when I began. Some questions I ask myself as part of my daily work are: how can designers facilitate developers? How do I foster user-centered curiosity among domain experts? How do we organize a UX research repository in a strict GDPR environment? ### Learning Through trial and error, I continue to find ways to be my best self, both at home and at work. Acknowledging the physical and mental realities of my life, Iāve been learning a lot about \[\[Neurodivergence in the workplace\]\], about the Polyvagal theory, and about a holistic, trauma-informed understanding of mental health. Practically, the books _The Smart but Scattered Guide to Success_, _Divergent Mind_, and _Living with Intensity_, and Elizabeth Filips and the Crappy Childhood Fairy have been sources of inspiration. ### Reading, watching, listening _The History of Love_ takes my breath away, as did _Fleabag_. * June 2022 ### Iām Zinzy Waleson Geene, Iām in my mid-thirties and I have a penchant for casual web publishing This website is a digital living room; a place where I think aloud, change my mind, and share slices of life. I think the Internet is a miraculous place, and believe we all have the right to own our stuff, and do so in a sustainable way. I suppose this means I like IndieWeb principles. ### I live in Amsterdamās finest neighborhood: de Indische Buurt. I share my life with Anja Waleson, a high school English teacher and new ceramics enthusiast. We live in a little shoebox with a petit garden. Weāre companions to puppy Lemonade, who may or may not have her own blog, letās find out together. ### In my spare time I enjoy swimming, writing, making music, and painting With generous donations from friends, I bought myself a piano for my birthday last year. Itās a journey of rediscovering how I best learn, of what draws my attention, and of how music is the best mental health item in my toolbox. For entirely archival reasons, Iām making a little EP with self-written songs this Summer. Aside from music, I like to spend time writing, drawing, visiting the theatre, and swimming. With the puppy itās a bit of an adventure, but Iām hoping to settle back into my 6:30AM morning swim routine. Iāve missed swimming plenty over the winter, and it might be smart to find a good indoor pool for the later months of 2023. For now, Iām pleased to know that Amsterdamās finest outdoor pool is in our own backyard. ### Iām embarking on a new professional adventure After 2.5 years with the wonderful team of Leeruniek I joined Gerimedica in May. Onboarding there has been an absolute dream, and Iāve felt a part of the family since the moment I signed the contract. Iāve been given plenty of space to roam around, which means that I was able to hit the ground running, teaming up with my buddy Hans to improve not only product design, but also research and evangelism. ### Iām mentoring again After a hiatus, Iām pleased to be back on the mentoring market. With 16 years of professional experience, Iāve found that my stories, many of which I had always deemed irrelevant to the world, can be of help to other people in the IT industry, specifically UX designers and researchers and product managers. If youād like to book a session with me, you may do so via ADPList. ### Iām doing my best to accept the ebb and flow of life One of the thinking traps in which I routinely fall is the one where āY can happen when X is completedā. We make a plan and God laughs. Iāve found that meditation helps me break this cycle. Iāve been devoting time daily to a meditation session. Itās becoming easier to remember that even 10 minutes of practice is worthwhile, even when I keep comparing myself to monks on some Tibetan mountain. ### Iām learning how to be kind to my neurodivergent brain Through trial and error, Iām finding ways to help myself best learn and deliver. One thing thatās been helpful in this regard is accepting my tendency to think top-down rather than bottom-up. Itās marvellous to see how much of the world assumes a bottom-up approach to learning, communicating, and creating. YouTuber Elizabeth Filips has been of great help on this journey. * May 2022 * Iām at Leeruniek building a sustainable design and product practice * Reading Zadie Smithās _On Beauty_, enjoying it so far * Building a sustainable meditation practice by engaging in daily unguided sessions (which, as it turns out, is a lot more relaxing than finding the perfect guided meditation on the perfect app) * Training my product management muscle by having difficult internal conversations about priorities * Thoroughly enjoying mentoring on ADPList. * April 2022 Itās odd to think about what life was like in the Spring of 2021, or even 2020. Sure, we were definitely working on our little street-side garden, hoping to bring some color to the neighborhood, but other than that, not much was the same at home. We had a living room office, each with our own command center. Now, things are slowly returning to normal. Weāve installed new kitchen counters, getting our couch reupholstered. It feels like the house is becoming a home again. At Leeruniek, Iām focused on creating a user-centered mode of collaboration. Itās great fun work with colleagues from outside the product team, and develop a shared understanding of what we and what we do mean to our customers. Part of this effort involves cultivating a culture of receiving and giving feedback, something I find very refreshing. Weāre also hiring in the product team and weāve already found a new engineer and a new designer. Iām looking forward to exploring our new team setup. * September 2021 Every year, without fail, I find myself longing for Autumn in the middle of Summer. Iām looking forward to cups of tea, blankets, and rainy afternoons. Much like the characters in Youāve Got Mail, I love September because it reminds me of freshly-sharpened pencils and other things that prompt a back-to-school vibe. Iām also looking forward to quilting a prayer mat. What Iām enjoying spiritual reflections on the Lectio 365 app, as well as CelinaSpookyBooās dad jokes and her accompanying laugh. Iāve been reading about chronic shame. Iāve been playing around with Gatsby starters for a bit, and Iām ready to begin building things from scratch. * September 2020 * Finishing up five years of design at Airtrade * Preparing for a new adventure in education technology * Wondering how in the world I missed the lesbian memo on Girl in Red

Iāve been given plenty of space to roam around, which means that I was able to hit the ground running, teaming up with my buddy Hans to improve not only product design, but also research and evangelism. ### Iām mentoring again After a hiatus, Iām pleased to be back on the mentoring market. With 16 years of professional experience, Iāve found that my stories, many of which I had always deemed irrelevant to the world, can be of help to other people in the IT industry, specifically UX designers and researchers and product managers. If youād like to book a session with me, you may do so via ADPList. ### Iām doing my best to accept the ebb and flow of life One of the thinking traps in which I routinely fall is the one where āY can happen when X is completedā. We make a plan and God laughs. Iāve found that meditation helps me break this cycle. Iāve been devoting time daily to a meditation session. Itās becoming easier to remember that even 10 minutes of practice is worthwhile, even when I keep comparing myself to monks on some Tibetan mountain. ### Iām learning how to be kind to my neurodivergent brain Through trial and error, Iām finding ways to help myself best learn and deliver. One thing thatās been helpful in this regard is accepting my tendency to think top-down rather than bottom-up. Itās marvellous to see how much of the world assumes a bottom-up approach to learning, communicating, and creating. YouTuber Elizabeth Filips has been of great help on this journey. * May 2022 * Iām at Leeruniek building a sustainable design and product practice * Reading Zadie Smithās _On Beauty_, enjoying it so far * Building a sustainable meditation practice by engaging in daily unguided sessions (which, as it turns out, is a lot more relaxing than finding the perfect guided meditation on the perfect app) * Training my product management muscle by having difficult internal conversations about priorities * Thoroughly enjoying mentoring on ADPList. * April 2022 Itās odd to think about what life was like in the Spring of 2021, or even 2020. Sure, we were definitely working on our little street-side garden, hoping to bring some color to the neighborhood, but other than that, not much was the same at home. We had a living room office, each with our own command center. Now, things are slowly returning to normal. Weāve installed new kitchen counters, getting our couch reupholstered. It feels like the house is becoming a home again. At Leeruniek, Iām focused on creating a user-centered mode of collaboration. Itās great fun work with colleagues from outside the product team, and develop a shared understanding of what we and what we do mean to our customers. Part of this effort involves cultivating a culture of receiving and giving feedback, something I find very refreshing. Weāre also hiring in the product team and weāve already found a new engineer and a new designer. Iām looking forward to exploring our new team setup. * September 2021 Every year, without fail, I find myself longing for Autumn in the middle of Summer. Iām looking forward to cups of tea, blankets, and rainy afternoons. Much like the characters in Youāve Got Mail, I love September because it reminds me of freshly-sharpened pencils and other things that prompt a back-to-school vibe. Iām also looking forward to quilting a prayer mat. What Iām enjoying spiritual reflections on the Lectio 365 app, as well as CelinaSpookyBooās dad jokes and her accompanying laugh. Iāve been reading about chronic shame. Iāve been playing around with Gatsby starters for a bit, and Iām ready to begin building things from scratch. * September 2020 * Finishing up five years of design at Airtrade * Preparing for a new adventure in education technology * Wondering how in the world I missed the lesbian memo on Girl in Red

Iām Justin Cox, the author of _Write Now: How To Pursue Your Dream And Start Writing Today!_ and founder of The Writing Cooperative. Iām a Ā Star Wars-loving, word-writing, nonprofit guy living in Orlando, FL. My writing and creativity-themed newsletter, This Just In, is sent out most Tuesdays, and my author interview series, Write Now, publishes most Wednesdays. What Influences My Writing? --------------------------- I've been writing online since the late '90s (_gasp!_) and have seen how the internet is a bridge to connecting cultures and also how it is co-opted to cause division and shift opinions. The internet is the greatest thing ever devised by humankind and simultaneously the worst. This dichotomy is at the center of my struggle with online creativity. I believe the internet and information should be free and accessible to all, _and_ writers should be paid for their work and time. It seems impossible to have both simultaneously without making the web worse, yet I believe that the future of the web depends on figuring it out. We now have access to the most incredible tools to fuel and share creativity ever devised. Simultaneously, our work and ideas have been co-opted by algorithmic-fueled networks that make billions off of our creativity and force us to believe they are our _only_ distribution option. With the rise of AI, this dichotomy is accelerating and becoming far more exaggerated. Too many people now see creativity as _content_, a commodity to exploit rather than an art to be experienced. I believe that hope is more powerful than fear, and community is more powerful than individualism. While everyone should have the ability to express their opinions, I believe that hateful views should incur consequences and be called out for what they are. In addition to my personal beliefs, I read a lot, which shapes my worldview and opinions. Some writers I read often are featured in my blogroll, while others I follow on Mastodon. Recommended Reading ------------------- Here are a few of my favorite pieces. They'll give you a good idea about my point of view and writing style. Enjoy! Elsewhere --------- As a true internet citizen, you can find me pretty much everywhere. My main haunts are Mastodon and Medium, though I am known to also appear on LinkedIn and Instagram, depending on the mood. Oh, and let's not forget the old-fashioned email.

Here's where we are and what were up to...right NOW Mostly...we are continuing our pursuit of living free from jobs and chasing happiness in whatever ways we can...which for us has meant a mostly nomadic, mostly minimal, mostly unknown, chaotic and awesome couple of years (7 of them now)! But recently that got even crazier. Somewhere along the drive to alaska we realized that what we really wanted was to try our hand at sailing and living aboard. To spend more time on (and under) the water. A few days later we bought a boat. Yikes. We are now living on said boat and trying our hardest to learn to sail and headed for the warm waters of the caribbean. The last 8 months have been a blur as we island hopped our way south and are now spending hurricane season in Grenada before continuing our adventures exploring the islands. Boatlife, as it turns out, is very much life Vanlifeā¦ just with higher highs and lower lows. Our original little creative business startup, zenbox design (though really just a way to allow my creativity to continue despite no longer having the money for projects of our own is still turning away clients every week and trying to filter through to find the perfect client or two a year. We also continue to help people build their own perfect campervan, either through full/custom builds or by creating DIY campervan kits that they can install themselves. Weāre always working to find that perfect live/work balance while traveling but as Z2Overland we continue to work with clients looking for their own āland yachtā. We are also still seeking community. Looking for other people of similar mind or looking for change. Ā If you have an interest in chasing your dreams, owning your own path, minimal living, tiny homes, vandwelling, or have a way for us to share with others please don't hesitate to reach out. Ā Those are the conversations we live for and that excited us! email us at Ā brydanger @ gmail dot com or follow us on instagram @theDangerz

January 30, 2025 I had some success writing blog posts since my last update in September 2024. I installed Linux on a spare MacBook, and learnt a lot just from setting that up! I was able to maintain a weekly-ish cadence throughout September, but again found myself struggling to keep up in October. I travelled for the first time in six years for a family wedding in November, and it was the much needed reset I needed. I realized how much Iād gotten stuck in a loop with certain habits, and traveling helped me break through those. The biggest shift I made was to step outside at least once almost every day, and that has been helping a ton. I also started thinking of ways of establishing a good blogging routine, and I saw a tweet from a fellow Recurser, Nolen who was joining another batch at the Recurse Center. I tend to be extremely low on motivation in the winter months, so I thought another batch might provide the structure I was looking for. Iām currently 4 weeks into batch, and Iām working on the things Iād started working on in September, but figuring out how to scope them better this time. One thing I worked on that Iām really proud of is ZulipFS, a blog post about which should be out pretty soon!
