I maintain a living document called my things list, where I track all the different tools and such that I use in my daily life. I try to update this when I remember to, throughout the year, but I also thought it might be interesting to track how my daily carry changes over time. So, here is what I usually have in my pockets as of the start of 2024.
What I Wear
I am supposed to wear glasses when reading or at the computer, but I often forget to do so.1 These glasses are Ollie Quinn Arlo’s. I also have a sunglasses set from them - the Noramy - which are discontinued.

- I like watching awful people argue with each other
- I like keeping up with what my friends are up to, and tell them what I’m up to.
I enjoyed setting up the website more then I did writing for it - I created the perfect blog in terms of reading it (personally, you may debate this), but paid no attention to how I was going to write for it, and editing Markdown files is just enough of a PITA that I wanted to avoid doing it (subconciously or otherwise)

Jan 01 2024Resolutions 2024
Wow. What a year. There were many challenges and I accomplished little. The irony that it was the year of the rabbit is not lost on me.
I’d like to thank all my friends and various associates for being a guiding light this year, as it would have been a lot more harrowing to do this one alone.
Anyways, good riddance - here’s an outline of what I intend to accomplish by the end of this year. Resolutions, if you will.
Dec 15 2022Bimonthly? Update - December 15th, 2022
As with most anything I’ve tried to start as a habit, these update posts have become far less then routine. Not to say I haven’t done anything worth writing about - I’m just incredibly lazy.
Anyways, here’s what’s up:
What I’m Working On
I’ve installed a number of Pimoroni Enviro sensors around the home. It’s been great being able to retrieve hyperlocal weather and environment data to do with as I see fit.
Nov 13 2022Weekly Update - November 13th, 2022
As some of you are probably aware, I have the habit of going on two cyclical “kicks”, every year. Right now I’m going through a health-kick, which means I’m going to try a bunch of self-improvement type things until I forget I was doing them.
Anyways, I’ve been seeing Headspace ads everywhere lately, so as a form of core rejection of their business model, I’ve been meditating on my own.
I’m not quite an “old-hand” at meditating but there was a period of time where I practiced quite frequently. None of that practice has stuck, however, and I feel as if I’m starting over at square one. I note this because I found it interesting how much of a “practice” meditation truly is.
Nov 09 2022Weekly Update - November 9th, 2022
Trying something new here today. With the recent Twitter fiasco going on I started re-evaluating what I get out of using social media, and condensed it down into two things:
Number two is the important one here - I only care about particular things my friends are into. The important stuff - babies being born, new jobs, etc. - that stuff I can hear about in person.
May 26 2022I Added Indieweb Support
I stumbled across Indie Web today, and I think it’s a neat idea.
Essentially, it’s a set of philosophies and toolsets to allow indie websites to communicate amongst each other, establish a standard for using your domain as an identity, and a way for websites to parse html as rss feeds.
Webmention is the most interesting out of all of their various projects, which is essentially a modern replacement for pingbacks, if you remember those - I certainly did not.
May 24 2022Blogging, Updates
I stopped updating this blog after two posts for a couple reasons:
