I love hiking, backpacking, and most things related to the outdoors. I also design and build random things on the web. You can learn more about me at https://drempd.com.
Such a beautiful day. Have the window open, listening to the birds sing, and letting some of the warm air into the house. There's something about this time of year, sound carries differently, or the light is different. Not sure what it is, just pleasant. #sandiego

The weekend was spent slamming through a project for a client. Things are mostly there, and now I'm in the phase where I'm making small fixes and adjustments. This is my favorite phase. The tasks are small but impactful, and I can cross off quite a few in the span of an afternoon. #freelance

Sometimes there is some miraculous productivity hack to solve the problem of having too much to do. Sometimes there's just actually too much work.

I guess part of me likes this time of year, when the sun sets at the end of my workday and the trees out my window are cast in yellow light as the birds sing and chirp.

Nothing some loud music and caffeine can't solve.

I really need to get out and hike around in the trees somewhere...

Any time a client notes a duration of time, double or triple it. I learned this long ago with meetings, but also for little requests ("can you hop on a call for 10 minutes", which is never 10 minutes). It also applies to projects and any requests for reserved time in your schedule. #freelancing

Pizza from Friday's outing. Pear and Gorganzola from Solare in San Diego

I'm loving this rain, but I could really go for a nice snowy day. Probably not going to get that here in San Diego. #rainyday #sandiego

Sometimes a well-worded email is equal to several hours of work that I currently don’t have time for. #productivity #freelance

I kind of hate waking up in the dark to get a run in, but sometimes you're rewarded with a beautiful sunrise. (taken a week or two ago) #running #sandiego #sunrise

Started building out the home page for my in-progress note/list/schedule app. Always fun to just have fun on my own stuff every-so-often. #webdesign #appdesign #productivity
Initial Work on the Dash Website - Drempd
There is still plenty of work to be done on version 1.0 of Dash, but it feels like things are getting close to an initial release. There are lots of tedious bug fixes and refinement tasks that I’m wor...

Whenever a song that I like comes on, I always write it down, whether I know it well or is new to me. Here's a few I wrote down last week. #music

The Vaccines – Love To Walk Away
Lostboy - Overdue
Manchester Orchestra - The Silence
Monster Florence - White Noise

Stumbled across the word, “paracosm” today. Such a great word, not only in the way it sounds, but in it’s meaning (used to describe richly detailed imaginary worlds, often created by children, that exist alongside the real one)

I just put a session on my daily schedule titled, “Cat Videos”. I think this is how you’re supposed to do life.

Pizza night. I've done this version a couple of times; gives me the olive oil/garlic base that I love, and shots of tomato goo here and there...and plenty of basil. #pizza

I think that the entire idea of upvotes/downvotes/liking/etc.. has probably damaged society to a far greater degree than what we realize. (feel free to like or heart or whatever this post)

We could have had Kamala right now, and the world would have been a far better place. Such a shame.

In response to the news, I find myself repeatedly saying, "we're better than this". But "we" really aren't. Purely from voter data, probably 30-40% of us are better than this.

A little gravel grinding and pizza in the desert. A much needed escape. #gravelgrinding #pizza #camping
