2017 In Review
It looks like this blog is probably only going to be updated around the New Year every year if I keep this up. Hopefully I’ll do better, but at this point I’m not making any promises. Anyway, it’s time to look back at the year and do some analysis on what I did and didn’t […]

January 2017 Plans
Hey. I normally just do these notes for myself in Evernote, but I might as well post it. Disclaimer: Personal, unedited post. For me. Read if you like, but you might get frustrated. I am actually writing this in Evernote and planning on copying it over. If there’s anything too personal or sensitive, I’ll probably […]

2016 In Review
It took me a couple of days to get going on this again this year. I think that might be a recurring thing year to year. I did manage to keep up on updating this blog with my goals updates better than I did in 2015. The quarterly (or so) updates seem like the thing. […]

The Beginnings of Minimalism
I am not a minimalist. I’m no hoarder, but I’m certainly not a minimalist. The minimalist’s lifestyle is something I’ve always been tangentially interested in. I look at people who have all of their desktops and counters perfectly clean and beautiful, who spend their days in thought and consideration and I’m a little jealous. I’m […]

Your Life Today
Steve Jobs died yesterday. I’m not going to write about his life or achievements. I’m not a person who can write an appropriate tribute. People more familiar with him have written words more eloquent than I could muster. Instead, I’m writing about something he said that affected me. I’ve owned Apple products. My first computer […]
