What I am up to now

Updated 2022-11-21

👨‍👩‍👧‍👦 Family

Neem is doing great, but none of us are sleeping well with all the life transitions. She is still doing iOS dev at Stitch Fix.
Rory was born on June 19. Everything went great and we are learning to deal with a little less sleep.
Logan is 3 (and a half according to him) and loving his time at Forsyth School.
We are stopping at 2 kids, but cannot wait to go on adventures together. Next big one is Cancun in March.

I am doing front-end platform work at Stitch Fix.
My primary focus is on the design system, but I am playing with NextJS quite a bit too.
We are spending time on migrating to a monorepo using TurboRepo.

We are mostly keeping up on all the Marvel and Star Wars shows. Andor has been lagging a little, but we will catch up.
The Sandman was fascinating and a great adaptation of the book.
I have been posting all of my movie reviews on Mastodon. The one I think is a must-watch is The Scarlet Pimpernel (1934).
Tiktok and Youtube take up too much time in my life and I am actively working on replacing them with things like podcasts.

Vintage Rotisserie Draft at St Lotus has gotten bumped a few times due to my health, but is hopefully coming back in 2023.
Marvel Snap has been dominating my phone gaming time. It is addictive and quick, with a good progression system.
Board games haven’t been much of a focus recently, but I am probably going to spend some time on Marvel Champions LCG as winter comes.
I got a PS5 and mostly use it to play Fortnite, but I was pretty excited to get the Spider-Gwen outfit.

Planning is already happening for the next 7 Day RogueLike. Very likely it will be out of zeitgeist by then, but a game where you run a social media company sounds like fun.
My lack of SQL knowledge is really stalling some work I want to do on St Lotus card rankings.
Logan and I have been building Legos together. We have completed a Saturn V rocket and the Space Shuttle Discovery. Also many Logan-designed cars that he loves.

What work success means to me. Moving up a career ladder or down in hours is no longer my goal at work, so figuring out what it is has been taking time.
How to raise children. I know a lot of my personal values, but finding what to pass on to my children and how takes a lot of thought and planning.
