This week I finished The Sum of Us: What Racism Costs Everyone and How We Can Prosper Together. I consumed the majority of the chapters via audiobook while driving across the country which I think made it even more impactful. 📚
Micro.blog
There are 120 posts filed in Micro.blog (this is page 2 of 6).
I’ve explained over Zoom to my students the difference between CSS Grid and Flexbox so many times over the last year that at this point my wife has my spiel memorized.
Millennial parenting achievement, I have successfully convinced my kids that Transatlanticism is “New Year’s Music”.
My two little ghosts
Our dogs always come back a shade lighter from the groomer from all the dirt that gets washed out. 🐶
The virtual coworking community I’m apart of celebrated its one-year anniversary yesterday.
Growing up!
I’ve always been of the opinion that if the weather is going to be below freezing, there should be lots of snow on the ground. 🐕
Contemplating buying a new machine
Trying to not let the cold weather interfere with getting that toddler and puppy energy out
Our 11-month old can officially climb up the stairs now. Nothing is safe and I definitely feel like I’ve entered the stage of living with two toddlers now.
New Five Iron Frenzy 🎵
In design school, a Five Iron Frenzy zip-up and jeans was pretty much my uniform. While so many bands from decades ago have been getting back together it’s more than a cliché now, this album feels different. It really has something to say. I’ve been listening non-stop all week and this review sums it up perfectly.
I’m grateful Micro.blog exists for a number of reasons, but today, it’s because it’s been the catalyst for me making 100 informal posts onto this WordPress blog (even if it took me awhile).
New WhiteHouse.gov
This morning I’m reading through several of the write-ups on the new WhiteHouse.gov – initial reactions from Matt Mullenweg and Pagely in addition to the longer piece by Fast Company.
Needless to say, I’m thrilled to see developers pushing the boundaries of WordPress on such a high profile site.
From what I’ve gathered, the site’s content editing experience is as good as its front end experience.
🖐 🖐 🖐 to everyone involved!
I have been avoiding watching the remaining episodes of The Crown because then there will be no more episodes of The Crown left to watch. 📺
If we do not have the capacity to distinguish what’s true from what’s false, then by definition the marketplace of ideas doesn’t work. And by definition our democracy doesn’t work. We are entering into an epistemological crisis.
– Barack Obama to The Atlantic
My 3-year is absolutely obsessed with board games these days. Anyone have any recommendations for that age group?
A Call To Spy 🍿
I think what amazes me about the World War II era is just how many films and documentaries seemed to still be released about it every year. We thought Summerland was very good but it was a bit more niché. A Call To Spy really had something for everyone and retold such an important story. I’d definitely recommend for your next movie night.
Happy New Year! (this is 100% a scheduled post, I am definitely asleep)
