Organizing, cleaning, optimizing my living space
If you see something and you know it’s a task that you could finish in a just a minute or two, instead of putting it off, just do it right then and then you don’t have to carry that mental burden of trying to remember that it needs to be done. And it will actually…

Star Trek Cats & Patrick Stewart
We had a slowdown at work for a few weeks and we had time for team building. We got on a puzzle kick and put together quite a few of them so I brought in a puzzle that I’d bought a few years ago and never had time to do at home. It didn’t take…

A little Halloween Lego fun

Antsy
You ever get antsy and want to switch things up just for the sake of switching things up? I’m not talking about FOMO, really. I’m sure for some people that pushes decisions. I’m talking more about when you get comfortable and everything is just working the way it should but you start feeling anxious and…

Hell Gate Bridge and Astoria Generating Co., as seen from Randall’s Island
New York City, 2018. This place has such an interesting name. “Hell Gate Bridge” makes me want to dive into the history of this location, because it sounds so dramatic. So, why not? Let’s see what WordPress’s AI has to say about it. I’ve never used it before and this seems like a good opportunity…
