Tough week at work for my wife, so tough night for me when she came home. Add to that sick kids, and a night up with one of them and it’s been a long week. I even missed skiing this weekend with a sick kid, though my wife took the other two kids along with…

Sigh, this week has been tough. I ended up with about 5 hours put into recording a video for my daughter’s school so that we can apply for a library grant. I found out that their entire budget for books and supplies is $1500. That’s less than I spent on my personal books for me…

Better week this week with less travel than last week. Today we’re getting 100mm+ of rain, which is a lot. I’m wondering if I’ll need a canoe to take my daughter to swimming lessons later today. > Abundance can be destructive not because it is bad for us, per se. Abundance can be destructive because…

One thing I’ve been toying around with for a while now is saying mostly goodbye to RSS and online reading. I think about this because I mostly rush through the articles instead of engaging with them well. I’ve recognized this and try to *force* myself to dig in deeper, yet I’m always skimming. Contrast this…

This week has had at least 2 snow days (maybe more I’m working ahead because I have time right now instead of kids to watch) so the week has been broken up a bit. On one hand, it’s been tough to get stuff done, but on the other hand it’s been nice to hang out…

Back from 2 weeks mostly off work, and I spent lots of time skiing with my family. At this point that means I spent most of my time on the easy hill with my 3 and 5 year old teaching them to ski a bit. Also lots of time just playing in the snow and…

Hey, this is the last you’re going to hear from me in 2019 because I’m taking 2 weeks off. I’ve always figured that if I built a business that couldn’t do without me for a bit then it wasn’t one that I really wanted to be in. I’ll still be reading feeds, and maybe posting…

This week was full of Christmas stuff, including a 1am wake up to rescue a fallen tree and the ornaments that took a plunge. Surprisingly, only three were broken and they’re all fixable. Also, my 5-year-old decided to get up 6 times between 1-5 when I got out of bed. Yes the next day was…

Last Friday I got a new 4K monitor in after 10 years with an HD Dell UltraSharp. I figured it was a good investment as I have been doing more video work and that’s all in 4K. I also had a child spill hot chocolate all over themselves while wearing white…twice in the same night.…

This week started off awesome, then I was down on the couch sick all Tuesday. No video was recorded. I wrote for about 50 minutes and spent 20 minutes deploying a client site, then laced on the couch and tried to sleep. Luckily I was only tired on Wednesday not sick, so back to a…
