Life Currently
Currently I'm enjoying time on Paternity Leave with my first child! It's been such an amazing time off and allowed me to realize how much anxiety and pressure my job normally instills in me. It's been a great time to navigate that awareness as I haven't been off of work this long since I was probably 20 or so. I've been enjoying getting to know this little human that just came into my life and also diving into a ton of projects with has been so refreshing!
Projects
- Lootbot - I have a weekly game that's been running ~18 months as we descend into the depths of Arden Vul and my GM requested us to take over the responsibility of loot recording. Boom, now I'm working on a fun little discord bot that does a bunch of features for our game
- Homelab - With a homelab there's always something to tinker on. I'll be solo here in NYC soon for a week so going to tackle VLANs with OPNSense on a mini-PC I just grabbed. I want to pillar things rationally as I need to start opening up some things to the public so will be a great fun project!
- This Blog - What you're reading this on now! I've started a journey that's been brewing around casting off big tech for a couple years and it's been getting better with each decision. I've started creating again and finally shifted to wanting to write again instead of just passively reading. So I'm here to work on that! Long form writing and also mini essays to help retain what I'm reading.
