    I love weekend days when I can stroll around town, ducking in and out of local shops with the family.

    An alleyway with murals of astronauts in space flanking either side.

    Just stumbled on https://aboutideasnow.com/ on Mastodon. This seems like a great resource for finding good personal sites to follow and people to connect with!

    It’s a tough job being the human garbage disposal that cleans up after family meals, but someone has to do it.

    Filling out a local tax refund form this morning, dreaded but necessary πŸ™„. I only worked in the office 16% of the time last year. I actually spent more time not working at all, since I was able to use parental leave. I’m feeling thankful for NASA’s parental leave policy!

    My wife and I finally put pins in our world map! I’m grateful for the travel opportunities we’ve had, but there’s a lot more yet to be explored! πŸ“πŸ—ΊοΈ

    vast expanse, stars born,
    galaxies like sand, and us

    Been feeling resistance to posting on here. So this is me doing something small (“literally anything”) to get moving again Do literally anything

    Coffee and journals were made for each other. β˜• πŸ–‹οΈ

    A brown leather journal with a black pen clipped on, a Chemex pour-over and a coffee mug sit atop a brown wooden table.

    Spotted this during date night. A good omen?

    A book titled Born to Blog sits turned outward on a bookshelf in front of other books.

    “What information consumes is rather obvious: it consumes the attention of its recipients. Hence, a wealth of information creates a poverty of attention and a need to allocate that attention efficiently among the overabundance of information sources that might consume it.”

    This is a big reason that I’ve been off of social media. The main thing I miss is keeping up with life updates from friends and family. Someone should build an AI that watches my social feeds and sends me a summarized weekly email of my friends' and family’s updates.

    I added a new option for subscribing to new posts on my Subscribe page. Now you can choose between subscribing only to long-form Articles or subscribing to all posts.

    This one gave me chills at the end. A wonderful piece by Henrik Karlsson. The third chair

    I’ve had a Now page for a bit now, but just had my site added to nownownow.com. Pretty neat that Derek curates this all himself. He seems like a kind and down-to-earth guy over email, which tracks with what I picked up from his site.

    I’m getting excited for this moon landing! Coverage has started: www.space.com/intuitive…

    TajΓ­n ClΓ‘sico is a new staple in our kitchen. I’m putting it on everything. πŸ‹πŸŒΆοΈ

    My wife and I put together this little Atlantis so my little Saturn V has a buddy on the shelf now πŸš€

    I shared my article about my Obsidian Daily Note template on Reddit in the ObsidianMD community and got a really positive response. I was surprised how quickly people were already trying to incorporate changes into their workflow and had questions for me (I had never posted on Reddit before)! I even had one person (@amerpie) reach out individually to let me know the template had helped him, and came to find out he was a fellow resident of Micro.blog! The web is an awesome and positive place when you know where to look!

    Just added a Uses page to my blog! I linked to it from my About page but didn’t put it in the main nav. I hope to keep this relatively up-to-date, I’ll check in on it when I update my Now page roughly quarterly.

    Little Saturn V on display in my office. Let me tell you these mini Legos were a PAIN to put together!
