Looking Back on 2019
Hey, it’s the new year! Goodie gee. I didn’t have work off between Christmas and New Year’s this year, which is a shame because that’s usually my self-reflection time and I like it. Or I get all weird during it. … Continue reading

Books and Being Offline
*another hot minute passes* *the author wonders just where the hell that phrase originated, anyway* I’ve managed to close a couple of the loops I was talking about in the last post. I finished up both The Birthday of the … Continue reading

Open Loops
Whoops, it’s been a minute. Life happens, you know? I’ve been doing some thinking and I think I’m bogged down recently by having too many open loops. I’m borrowing the term from Getting Things Done, which basically means “things I … Continue reading
