Filling out a local tax refund form this morning, dreaded but necessary 🙄. 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!
Remember To Live, An Interactive Haiku
days lived
more to go
remember to live!
Input your own numbers into the haiku above as a reminder to yourself to live!
For the first box, calculate your_age_in_years * 365
For the second box, calculate your_expected_max_age_in_years * 365 - first_box_value
calculator-1.com Originally I had hoped to make this much more dynamic so that you could input your current age and expected max age and I would handle all the calculating behind the scenes, but alas Javascript doth not jive with Markdown.
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! 📍🗺️
vast expanse, stars born,
galaxies like sand, and us
pale blue perfection
Haiku
I’m adding a new category on my site for haiku. Most of these will be quick micro-posts, but others may be longer. I have an idea for an interactive haiku but I’m not positive how that will work since my posts are published in Markdown. It should be a fun mini-project!
To my chagrin, I tend towards rule-following, so most of my haiku will follow the 5-7-5 format. I would like to experiment outside of those lines from time to time.
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. ☕ 🖋️
Spotted this during date night. A good omen?
“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.
