A little review of Horizon Forbidden West™: Burning Shores
In the spirit of writing more, I thought I'd take a crack at jotting down my thoughts on some of the games I've been playing lately, starting with Horizon Forbidden West™: Burning Shores.
Quarterly Goals Check-in, Q1 to Q2
As I mentioned in an older post, My 2023 Priorities and Goals, I would start breaking down priorities and goals into quarters, looking at what went well, and planning how to adjust things in the future, so let's hop right into it!
Monthly Wrap-up, Mar 2023
Back again with a small post for March. I spent a lot of time this month just taking things in and not thinking much, which is exactly what I needed.
Denver Devs turns eight this March, and I think it's time to move on.

Monthly Wrap-up, Feb 2023
Continuing the trend from last month with a new post about what happened in February 2023. Seriously what happened? Where'd the time go?

Musing about something new...
Putting some thoughts out there into the world about burnout, how I don't actually like talking about development, and a potential new project of mine.
Goodbye Markdown, hello Ghost (and Vercel)
Just a tiny update but I decided to move my blog from markdown to a CMS and ultimately landed on Ghost.
The Maintenance of Anxiety
Since being diagnosed with generalized anxiety disorder in January 2022, I've been on a path of reckoning and recalibration. Over time I've learned what my body & mind need and that if I neglect any of these areas, anxiety can start to rumble back up. Here's my maintenance schedule for anxiety...
Redesigning my website for 2022, inspired by... trains?
Much like the shoemakers' children, my website has received very little of the same attention and care that I give to my professional work. This year I wanted to return to my design roots and take a crack at making something for myself that I'd be proud of.
My month-long focus on digital decluttering
After spending most of 2022 dealing with generalized anxiety disorder, caused by many reasons: always being online, health, and well... *gestures broadly*; I decided to take a break from my community ( Denver Devs ) and Discord. That snowballed into disconnecting from a lot more.
