New personal laptop day!
Book 17 of 100
I was surprised to realize that I hadnβt read this when the series started up. A solid effort but not quite a five star for me.
Book 16 of 100
Pulled at my heart strings, a very real and very human book about a relationship in and out of an extreme situation.
Book 15 of 100
K.J. Parkerβs brand of dark and smart humor was reliably great in the start of this new series. Canβt wait for book two.
Redid my blog design today. It mostly looks like it did back in 2003 now. A couple of finishing touches remain to be done.

It truly has been amazing for my mental health to have this week in between the ending of my old job and the beginning of my new one. A lot of mental hygiene going on.
Book 14 of 100
An excellent overview, especially for beginners, probably a little simplistic for my knowledge level but still interesting.
Book 13 of 100
A fantastic story that is a reminder that we all have at least a little bit of magic in us.
Book 12 of 100.
This one is really good, fairly short. A more somber and emotional take on the plot of the Groundhog Day movie.
Book 11 of 100.
A truly epic, both in length and story, tale of a Polynesian navigator that happens over a thousand years ago.
Book 10/100
This one had some really good stuff in it that I found useful. A main concept that I will utilize is βfreewritingβ which I am adding to my journaling routine.
Book 9/100
These get more and more bonkers as we go. They are just what I need right now, and Iβm a little sad I only have one left at the moment.
Book 8/100
A tiny bit dated but really enjoyable nonetheless.
Book 7/100
The timing of reading this one was not a coincidence. This book spoke to me and I took a lot away from it. We could all use a few moments of contemplation about the importance of character, especially our own.
Out: Word Notebooks Orange Polygon
In: Field Notes Ravenβs Wing (2010)
Book 6/100
I learned a lot reading this book, which says a lot given that I lived through all of this culture and change.
I just want to watch the NFL playoff game on the TV in my hotel roomβ¦
Hah, that had occurred to me as a possible issue with the way I am formatting these. For six I will change.
5/100
So well written, and moving. We can all do better, and should.
4/100
As worthwhile for readers as for writers, quite enjoyable.
Scene from a messy desk.
Started the New Year at work with a new computer.
1) It takes me a really long time to get a new machine to where I want it to be.
2) macOS Tahoe is a jarring visual transition. No choice because it's a new M5 MacBook Pro, but I wish I did. Guess it's going to take me even longer because of this.
3/100
A quick read about an admirable and intriguing person who had a very large influence on culture.
2/100 A short story/novella, a delight nonetheless.
The last few calm days before we go back to the craziness of regular routine.
1/100 Remarkably Bright Creatures by Shelby Van Pelt
Borrowed through Libby. Quite enjoyable.
The pocket notebooks I used in 2025. Mostly Field Notes but as the year went on, I also discovered that I really enjoy Dialog Notebooks.
We're doing a family trip to Mexico City next year. Would love any specific must do's or must eats.
This one is quite good.
