February, 2025
Been back to work from parental leave for a little while now. Things have settled into a routine. It’s the cold part of the year, but the days are already getting longer, so I’m feeling pretty good.
Reading:
Unfortunately I haven’t been reading as much as I’d like to since returning to work.
- Started The Soul of a New Machine by Tracy Kidder.
- Re-reading Oliver Burkeman’s Four Thousand Weeks.
Listening:
Making:
- Writing my own simple raytracer from scratch. It’s a fun little project, and feels like one of those programming rites of passage.
Doing:
- Continuing to raise my infant daughter.
- Started shifting some of my coffee consumption over to tea. I’ve been enjoying some very tasty Taiwanese Oolongs from Floating Leaves in Ballard.
- There’s not a whole lot of time outside of work, childcare, and the occasional gym session, so I’ve been trying to lean in and enjoy those things as much as I can, and savor any interstitial moments I get.
