To Sleep or not to Sleep

Our evening routine is predictable: dinner, bedtime for the kids, and then I usually follow shortly after. However, what I've noticed is that if I make it past that 9 - 10pm siren song of my pillow, I can stay up working until 3am with ease. What'

Slapping my Past Self

You've perhaps heard the question, "If you could travel back in time, what would you tell your younger self?" People usually go deep—invest in Bitcoin early, don't date that person, call your grandparents more. Me? My answer has always been immediate and embarrassingly

Interviewing

I started the job search process last week. Or maybe it was the week before. The ideal job search process is to reach out to a colleague in a similar line of work, and get the inside track on an opening. With that in mind, I need to put more

More on AI Programming

I posted previously on some experiences with AI programming, and I wanted to add to it a bit. There's plenty of talk about AI (particularly in the programming space) eliminating jobs. I don't have any magic crystal ball, so who knows how it'll work

The Coffee Getter

I once wrote an app. Crazy right? The main requirement for this app was that it needed to scan ITF barcodes. I didn't know anything about barcodes at the time, but I knew iOS had built-in support for handling some barcodes. Turns out, it didn't have

A New Hate (GA ZLY-564)

I don't think I ever even thought enough about the sport bike community to have an opinion on its existence ... until the other day. We were driving home from church, just like any other Sunday. We eventually caught up with this gaggle of sport bikes. Two of them

Instagram is Dead

I guess it shouldn't surprise me that Instagram would go the way of its parent company (Facebook). Sporadically I'll venture back to Facebook, thinking I can catch up on whatever the latest is my friends or relatives are up to, and instead I'm accosted

Primal Urges

Every time I light a fire and smell the smoke – most recently in the context of getting the grill going – something in my very core is awoken; something that wants me to own a big chunk of land in the mountains with a cabin or something, where we can go
