  • Minor Escape

    I’m getting away for a couple days. Changing the scenery. New faces and new spaces. Trading energy. It might be a little more day to day human interaction than I’m used to, but it’s shaking up the monotony. I appreciate having friends that will let me and Annie campout.

  • Light Day

    I’m launching tonight and going to sleep. No alarm in the morning. The plan is to get out of town for a day or two. I’m fortunate I can take these opportunities. I didn’t get to sending applications to coding schools today. I’ve planned for Sunday night. The choices are down to 4 with 3…

  • This was a very fast moving day to have accomplished very little. I got to solve some problems and learn more about CSS3. I was supposed to submit applications to coding schools yesterday. I’m stalling. Spinning my wheels. Punking out. Today is the day I’ll do two things: Send four application packets to coding schools…

  • SayMore.media v2.0 goes live today. Do or die. I began migrating settings and assets last night. It’s not as painful as I’ll make it sound. I can be significantly meticulous at times. I’m geeked about it. Yes, to have it finished but also to untie my hands so I can launch Podcasting Blogger. As of…

  • There’s a lot more free learning out there than I thought. Something that I’m discovering while applying to coding schools is than many of them have free online pre-training/pre-work/prerequisite courses. When I requested info from Sabio (southern Cali) who has an in-person and online program, I received a response with a link to a free…

  • I appreciated holidays when I had a full-time, government job. But now I appreciate when everyone else is at work, so I can get things done. I’m completely aware that this post makes me sound like a terrible person. Understood. Loud and clear. You will not get an argument from me. I am a selfish…

  • At some point in becoming that professional something you want to be, you start believing that you are it. A wise person once said there is a difference in believing in the path and walking the path. Honestly, I think that’s from a cartoon – like Kung Fu Panda. I don’t know if you ever…

  • I can’t work until I’m dead. I can’t die without creating something that improves someone else’s life. Can’t do it. I won’t line up for, complete a resume for, completely a survey for a job where I would be another cog in someone else’s machine. It’s not a matter of my having a mountain of…

  • Most of the things on my plate are voluntary. The not optional, heavy hitters still suck away a lot of emotional labor. I am looking for a little breaking point. Soon. Soon enough I’ll have one huge weight off my shoulder. I’ve seen it. I’ve dreamed about it two nights in a row.

  • Last night, I dreamed that my kids’ mom and I were getting along. I’m going to call it foreshadowing. We can’t possibly be enemies forever. I was in some kind of school setting, and there were some field exercises. I was able to fly, but I didn’t because I didn’t leave. I didn’t want to…

  • I made a couple of crucial mistakes in not hiring an attorney soon enough and rushing to hire a piece-of-sh*t attorney. Now, unfortunately, a good attorney is forced to clean up the mess.

  • I don’t remember what I dreamt last night, but I woke up with a kind of dark thought. Dark but somewhat satisfying. Part of me wants to be Mr Global Warning Awareness. But the darker part of me – no pun intended – thinks “Keep f**king up the ozone. Guess which race of people can…
