The problem with having multiple hobbies is that I want to continue reading my book but I also want to make progress on my needlepoint. I need more hours in the day!

I dropped to top 4% for Taylor Swift fans. I’m really slacking.

Looking for video game recommendations to play over the holiday break! PS5 or Switch.

Here are games that I’ve really enjoyed:
- Hogwarts Legacy
- Mario Odyssey
- Paper Mario
- Luigi’s Mansion
- Spider-Man
- Stardew Valley
- Ooblets
- Animal Crossing
- It Takes Two
- Stray

Tailwind is great for easy-to-read styling across large code bases but I really miss writing custom CSS.

Just for once I’d like to not get sick after traveling 😭

I ran out of my medicine a week ago and finally had a refill available. Missing doses luckily isn’t a huge deal but it does greatly affect my energy levels. Can’t wait to not be a zombie again soon 😴

The best perk of working from home is that my dog takes naps in my lap 🥺

Just finished reading The Will of the Many and wow. It was a little slow at the beginning but I ended up loving the book! Can’t wait for the second one to come out next year.

It’s been so gloomy in Nashville for the past few weeks. I miss the sun 😫

I spoke at Technorama’s Stockholm event back in 2022 and it’s one of my favorite conferences I’ve been to. They have so many fun activities for speakers and attendees!

Hello new and old followers! Sometimes I make VS Code themes:

- There’s Night Owl (most used, good for colorblindness)
- Then a friend asked for a theme for people who are in bed by 7pm
- and a Fortnite theme with chaos and chickens

Enjoy!

A reminder that you don’t have to code on the weekends. You can relax. It’s ok!

Introducing Franklin and Maggie! They’re full of sass and love to annoy me but they’re the absolute best dogs I could ever ask for.
