My week notes for the week of January 12 through January 18.

My reading backlog currently sits at 276 books. It’s long, books still trickle onto it. Finding a nice used book store nearby combined with Libby access makes it easy to add more books to the list. You know what is another good way to get more books added? Reading the books already on your backlog.

My week notes for the week of January 5 through January 11.

I listed the apps I use 2 years ago. I figured I'd update it with my current setup as a few things have changed.

My job had me build a customize file upload control for the project I’m working on. I thought I had it working. It worked on Chrome. It worked on Firefox. It worked on Android. Then it was tested on an iPhone.

I read more books in 2024 than I have any year prior. I enjoyed most of them.

I’ve known for a while that I sometimes spend too much time on social media. I also know with the latest election and upcoming administration, I have a tendency to doom scroll a little too much. In an attempt to regain focus and a little bit of self-care, I’m going to take a step back from all social media.

I played more games in 2024 than I had in years prior. It's part of the reason I want to tackle more of my backlog this year.

My week notes for the week of December 29, 2024 - January 4, 2025.

Most of the TV I watched this year was with my wife, though I managed to watch a few of the ones on my list as well.

Now that 2025 is here, I thought I’d share my goals and aspirations for me and what I hope to accomplish this year. Like previous years, I’m aspiring to continue to do what makes me happy and improve myself.

2024 was quite a year. It had some good, it had some bad, and I can’t believe it’s coming to a close. I had to say goodbye to my cat Cookie, I turned 40, I ran a lot, and I proceeded to watch in horror as American voters decided to turn towards authoritarianism and a dumpster fire. But I think I’m going to try to focus on the positives.
