Consistency
I struggle with being consistent. I get really excited about something new, dive into that thing for a few days/weeks and then it falls by the wayside. I know this about myself and it frustrates me immensely but even knowing it I do that I continue to do it. How do I break that cycle?…

New Year, New Posts
Welcome to 2024! I neglected this blog last year but this year I want to make some changes and be more consistent with things in my life. Here are something’s I want to get out of 2024. I want 2024 to be very different from the last several years and I’m determined to see these…

WordPress
I’ve used WordPress for years on my own servers. I moved this site over to wordpress.com thinking it would be easier. I can’t stand the backend and it’s always getting in the way when I want to write something. I had my settings the way I like them on my own server and I’m not…

Succession
I now understand the people who didn’t get into shows I was super into like The Shield, Sons of Anarchy, Deadwood, etc. I get the significance of Succession and I’ve watched every episode, except the series finale, but I just haven’t been able to get into it. The characters feel so … predictable. I did…

What To Write Here?
I don’t know what to do with this blog. I haven’t written here in quite a while but I am writing, almost every day, in other spaces. What do I write here? Maybe I could turn this into a tech/IT-type thing? or maybe a camping/Overlanding thing? I don’t know. I do know that I don’t…

New Home, Same Lack of Posting
Today I moved all my hosted services off Linode servers. Last March Linode was bought by Akamai. I’ve been putting off moving because I was holding out hope that Linode would continue to be a standalone company but last month Akamai announce the Linode brand was being retired. Still, I held off on moving mostly…

Investing?!
For years I’ve tried to get interested in investing money, the stock market, etc but I just haven’t been able to keep my brain on track. That’s changed recently and now I get very excited at the possibilities in front of me. I met with a financial advisor this week and laid out my ideal…

The Plan
I’ve been thinking a lot about what I want to do in the next several years and I know I don’t want to be stationary anymore and I don’t want to live in a place that has miserably hot summers as I do now. I’m not currently in a position where I can leave for…

Building A Community
I’m writing this at almost 10 pm on a Saturday night so this is going to be a stream-of-consciousness post that may or may not make sense. I can’t sleep and I’ve been restless and distracted for a few days. I’ve been thinking about how to find my spot in the world and I follow…

Alaska Is Calling
For the last decade or so I’ve wanted to go to Alaska. My dad was stationed there when he was in the Air Force and talked about it all the time. I’d always wanted to see it but it wasn’t that high on my list. That changed when I saw the PBS documentary about Dick…
Got any book recommendations?
