I've been on a different path for the last several months. Not that my normal reading habits reflect anything that most sane people would call fun, I've been on a bit of a technical research bender. One thing I'm in the process of doing is building out a more concrete deployment workflow. Recently GitHub posted a blog, …

When I had started reading Thinking, Fast and Slow, I had the intention of blasting through it quickly. I'm glad that I've, through more adversity than intention, had to take a much slower approach. My goal recently was to try and read a chapter per day, but that hasn't even been possible. That being said, the chapter …

It's somewhat depressing that it's taking me a while to complete my current endeavour. The thing is, it's somewhat difficult to make consistent time to work on this. That being said, I spend some time each morning working on this. I have to keep reminding myself, this isn't my job. Maybe sometimes I'll get some time …

So putting the effort into reading this book is very interesting. The content itself is very familiar to me. Spending time in pop-psy the concepts being raised are pretty famaliar, but that leads to a real temptation to just skim. And while that would be the most efficient use of my time, that's counter to the point. I …

I knew going into this book I was going to spend some time. I don't think I appreciated that pulling together the works cited before I really even started the book was going to be as daunting as this. I haven't finished yet, I'm around chapter 21 at the moment, but this writeup is already longer than most and I haven't …

I'm sitting here on a Snowy day, working through my notes on my last book. It wasn't a great first start back to reading, I didn't follow any particular process, but that's okay. I am glad that I went back through this book and started capturing some notes. On the first pass through, I had it in my mind I would do …

Happy New Year! So this is my first post after I finally got this thing deployed, and so far, so good. I've actually been doing several things recently. New office setup I'm typing this on my new keyboard, that is super nice (Logitech MX Master Keys). It's the newest addition to my work from home setup. Since this …

My recent efforts on this site didn't exactly go to plan. Apologies, this post is going to be a bit stream of consciousness writing. I will say some of what I had done recently worked really well. I think going to a markdown driven site was a good call. Additionally, using GitHub to drive everything was also a good …

So I got out of my habits for a while, and now that I'm getting back into them, I appreciate the effect that they have on me. It's little things, like when I walk around the house grabbing something and putting it away or even in the right room, or doing an exercise for a short duration - good efforts start building. I …
