I started coding back in 2004 with my first C++ course at University. I haven’t stopped since. For work I’m mostly using C#, SQL, HTML, CSS3, and JQuery. For fun I switch back to vanilla JS and try out zany ideas. Like, how far can you push just HTML and CSS for a social media like experience and not require JavaScript (see Lillihub). Right now I’m working on my blog/game hybrid idea. Who knows what I’ll be trying to do next week ðĪŠ

I’ve made good progress on my little, local only, app that uses a disappearing iframe trick. I still have bugs to squash and a longer post to write, but here’s the sneak peak: A framed* productivity app with code on Github. Keep in mind, this is very alpha, so no using it for anything important.

Okay, I know I’m strange. But every once in a while I get a strong urge to code my own web browser. Just for the fun of it. Just to see how it works ð

Want to follow along? You are going to need some basic familiarity with JavaScript, html, css, you will need a code editor and have the files served from a webserver. Due to iframe restrictions, this won’t work locally. âĶ

If you can’t tell from my blog design, I’ve been on a bit of a retro website kick. I find them nostalgic and fun and I kind of miss the days where personal websites were a surprise to look at. A few weeks ago I was wasting some time browsing on Neocities when I came across an old-school âĶ

As part of being more cognizant of the online subscriptions I have, I’m doing a digital life cleanup. Where I can I want build out my own apps to replace what I use. First up, budgeting. The app I use renews in a month. I’m challenging myself to cancel it and build out my own in that time. ðĐâðŧ

At work I’m tackling a huge software project and my normal approach isn’t cutting it. So over the holiday’s I read Shape Up: Stop Running in Circles and Ship Work that Matters. It really resonated with me in a way other books on the subject haven’t. I’m still stuck using Asana, since that’s what my compay uses, but I was able to recreate a portion of the shaping workflow in it. I’ve been using it almost a month now and I’m really digging it.

I got a Hobonichi Cousin journal for the new year and I’ve been been trying out different layouts to keep track of homeschooling, work, and my personal tasks. This is my favorite so far. Homeschooling log in the center and color coded.
