Now

(August 2025) These are the things that I am doing, watching, reading, listening to, and thinking about in no particular order.

Doing

I'm still studying for my CISM certification, and I take my exam on August 29. Hopefully I'll pass.

My wife, who is a teacher, begins moving things back into her classroom tomorrow. My middle kid is about to start their last semester of college. My oldest just moved to South Carolina to attend law school at the University of South Carolina. My daughter is about to start 8th grade.

Watching

The new King of the Hill episodes are fantastic.

Ecstasy of Order: The Tetris Masters is currently streaming on Tubi. Having grown up playing Tetris (and as someone who still plays Tetris just about every day), this movie is phenomenal.

Reading

I’m still reading Jurassic Park on Google Play Books.

Listening

I’ve been listening to a lot of 80’s hair bands and New Wave music as of late, and I have been streaming a lot of First Wave and Lithium on Sirius XM. I’ve been listening to a lot of Jazz while I work.

Thinking About

The apps and services I am using and cross platform compatibility. Process improvement. How much I like my new(ish) iPhone 16 Plus. I wish I had upgraded to a phone with a larger screen much sooner.
