Keeping an eye on this. (Early data looks good.)

Previous version of this page had too many emojis. Removed.

Vocational Notes

  • Actively performing technical advisory and fractional roles. Medium capacity (10 hours/week for ongoing retainers, burst-able to 30+ with notice). Current foci:
    • Environmental Impact and Sustainability
    • AI-enabled Workflows
    • Anti-social networking
  • Official Team, Assemble! launch very imminent 🟡
    • demo and write-up
    • Looking for product/technical lead to take myself out of the loop. (Maybe this is you?)
    • Active TODO: write up a dispatch on this process. Many learnings.
  • Revisiting the Contact Management Tool as, on further reflections, there’s a lot to think about here.
    • Bought domain names, so you know it’s serious.

Avocational Notes

  • Lifting 3-4 times per week (with the exception of the last three weeks)
  • Karting has been a welcome new hobby.
  • Stalled work on a small project, picking back up now that January is behind us.

Content Consumption (Abbreviated)

Television

AppleTV+ is killing it, have to say.

Books

Games

  • Chess
    • Elo ~1100 (Daily). Write me if you want my chess.com username.
  • Helldivers II – Never has Managed Democracy needed so much help.
  • Hollow Knight – Started off as a relaxing game, but not so much as save points have become scarce.
