Yesterday afternoon I recalled a song that I heard a week or two prior; it's a song I heard before, and hadn't heard it in a long time. I remember that I really enjoyed the song, but since hearing it, yesterday was the first time I thought of it since. And a tiny bit of … Continue reading The Quest To Remember a Song

Just Start
Yesterday out of the blue I decided to look through my saved posts on Reddit. I think I saved something recently and I wanted to re-read it, but I ended up scrolling through the list. A lot of it was saved wallpapers, tips and tricks for various bits of tech, and various other junk. I … Continue reading Just Start
I Unsubscribed from a Podcast
I have been listening to podcasts for a very long time. I remember as far back as 2005 at least - it could be longer, I can't really say for sure. But over that time I've gone through a series of different listening phases: Just Getting Started: Subscribed to a just a few podcastsCan't Get … Continue reading I Unsubscribed from a Podcast

Professional Development as a whole is something really hard for me, which is weird since I seem to be doing a great job helping my team of employees with it this year. But it's an area I wanted to work on. I've been trying to figure out for a long time what line of learning … Continue reading Professional Development

It's not a matter of lack of time for me, but motivation. Right now, as I type this out on my … Continue reading Writing is hard
2021 Resolutions
I don't usually set resolutions each year, at least not in an "official" capacity. I suppose it's more accurate to say I don't think of these things as "resolutions", because to me the notion of trying to do something new or different having to start in January and not at any point in the year … Continue reading 2021 Resolutions
A Few Good Games
Lately something the feeling of playing a quick handheld video game has struck me now and then. I used to have a small handful of games on my phone, but deleted them a long time ago. I wasn't playing them, and they didn't hold my interest. I don't have any fancy new platforms like the … Continue reading A Few Good Games
What Happens When Something You Enjoy is Taken Away?
A thought popped into my head as I poured a new non-alcoholic IPA (Athletic Brewing Company's Run Wild IPA) into an old Innis & Gunn beer glass: I used to be "known" as a beer lover. If you weren't sure what to buy for me, the easiest choice would be to find some craft beer … Continue reading What Happens When Something You Enjoy is Taken Away?
