What I'm doing now...
This is a now page which I've always enjoyed on others' personal websites but somehow have thought was presumptuous on my own. I'm trying it out, now. Let me know what you think.
- Reading CODE and very much enjoying it
- Petzold makes the history and fundamentals of computing extremely simple and engaging
- Fantastic, simple illustrations
- Reading Good Inside with humility and openness, but not entirely sold
- Dr. Kennedy fails to convince me of some of her premises which undercuts my confidence in some strategy and tactics
- Dr. Kennedy appears to lack a framework for distinguishing between something "bad" but for which one is not morally culpable such as "blindness" and "morally bad" such as "killing an innocent".
- I think saying "feelings aren't bad" is too broad, one can certainly have feelings which are incongruous with reality and thus "bad" but not morally so, and likewise one can assent with their will to indulge such feelings or take actions (whether internal in the life of the mind, or externally) which inflame "bad" but otherwise morally innocent feelings at which point I think there's a good argument that the person does become morally responsible for those feelings.
- Trying to decide on my next audiobook after finishing the Horatio Hornblower series (in chronological order) while I workout
- Making an effort to spend quality one-on-one time with each of my children every week
- Going on 1:1 walks around the park or to the adoration chapel
- Cooking together
- Running errands and fixing things
- Literally running
- Watching the garbage truck
- Learning about binary and Bitcoin
- Doing science experiments and basic electronics projects
- Enjoying weight lifting, following the plan in Bigger, Leaner, Stronger
- Dipping my toe back into centralized social media but still preferring real community in person or on more private urbit groups
- Helping my local parish set up physical network and IT infrastructure
- Setting up a "guild" of nerds to maintain and support the parish
- Volunteering with my HOA to help take care of my neighborhood
- Restoring the street trees
- Thinking about getting into GMRS and ham radio
- Wearing the many hats of a software/tech generalist at a startup serving luxury custom builders
