Now: March 7, 2024

The photo above was originally for an update on January 14, when I hit seven years without a drop of alcohol.

Been redesigning this site since early (earlier than now) this year. It’s going. I’ve scrapped a few ideas and decided to worry about fixing all the bugs and accessibility issues first. There are a lot of things I was sort of manually doing in Hugo that could have been setup in a more programmatic way. Also, I had a few accessibility issues to fix. I’d rather these things be addressed before worrying about a pretty layout.

I guess the other day I got to the Bite and just started knocking things out.

Some other things

  • The weather is getting nice.
  • Our shed is up (yay!) and the deck should start soon!
  • Heading to Berlin in a couple of weeks.
  • Can’t stop listening to 1999 Write the Future.
  • Watched Dune 2. Liked it a whole lot.

I did finish Tomorrow and Tomorrow and Tomorrow , and it was very good. Picked up the Contortionist's Handbook for January. Fantastic and very Palahniuk. Then decided for February I’d finally read a book from a high school friend, Chris; Calling Mr. Nelson Pugh. It takes quite a turn. I really enjoyed it, and I hope he writes more! For March, I think I’ll finally finish Seth Godin’s The Practice. I read about half and then seemed to have moved onto something else and forgotten about it. I do have quite a few pages dog-eared. Maybe I should start the book over. I’ve been doing so much accessibility reading for work, that I should probably count all of it for my March “book.”
