Welp. Someone’s having an extremely bad Monday. (As far as I could see, no one was hurt and I don’t think it had spread to the building yet.)

Well ... at least the sunset was pretty today.

Been busy the last couple of weeks starting from scratch with Digital Shopfront CMS. Feels like it's been slow progress so far, but hoping now that a lot of heavy lifting in the backend is done, I can start to move quicker. The goal is to have it ready for a beta test by end of the year.

At the Commit Your Code Conference here locally in the DFW area for the next two days! Excited to be at my first non-WordPress tech conference!

Went for a run this morning for the first time in a bit, and the view did not disappoint!

Such a great Friday night of #txhsfb action that it requires the triple screen setup!

Welp. Someone had a very rough morning.

Morning temperatures aren’t out of the 60s so it’s the perfect time to have breakfast on the balcony for the first time in a number of months.

Well this is a first. The lights went out with 5 minutes left in the half. Stuck in a delay for the last 10 minutes and counting.

Friday nights in the fall in Texas mean high school football.

Did I go on a road trip to Kansas City and Omaha with my parents and brother back at the start of July? Yeah.

Did I just now get around to editing those photos from the trip? ... also yes.

So thankful my dad converted me to a Philadelphia Eagles fan at a young age. It's like the best of both worlds!

I know they’re for player safety and that it’s important, but the guardian caps are absolutely hilarious.

Working on a little something for myself this weekend.

Taking the iPadOS 26 Public Beta for a spin, and I think I like it so far. Looks nice. Also, changing the circle for a more precise triangle when using the trackpad is a small, but quite impactful change.

Had to pay homage to the original home of the Men's College World Series today!

Uh guys, I think we’re a little late for the College World Series.

The 2 p.m. weather balloon from the NWS Fort Worth office shows a weak cap and now we've got sunshine here in Mansfield. Do not have a good feeling about this.

Went to the Texas vs. Florida baseball game last night and brought a scorebook along for the first time in 10 years. A few mistakes (if you look closely), but a highly enjoyable night.

Oof. Not a good evening for the folks out in Knox County, Texas (southwest of Wichita Falls, TX).
