Updates from the bridge:

• Been enjoying fall as it’s finally cooling off Lookout Mountain and bringing the autumn colors

• Recently picked up a pocket e-reader. It’s my least favorite reading format, but I do like having the option of something to take out instead of my phone when I’m found idling.

• Trying out a different note taking method where I just dump everything into a Midori A7 notebook that I can fit in my pocket. No to-do lists, no bullet journal method, just a stream of thoughts that I revisit and revise over time. Really enjoying it so far!

• At some point I plan to write a blog post on freedom and software. I had the majority of it written and then without realizing it, I didn’t commit the draft and wiped my machine for a new distro. Fun lessons lol.

• Trying to deep dive and invest more time in Go, so I’m building a few projects with no AI assistance. All pretty basic, but some fun challenges since they go outside the normal web frameworks I’ve built. Will probably share when I think they’re ready.

• Picked up my pipe for the first time in 4 years. I realized that I hadn’t been smoking it as much because most of the places we’ve lived before this out didn’t allow smoking. Kinda excited to do it some more as we get into the colder months.

Until next time, stay steady o7
