Weekly Wrap-Up (9.10.2023 – 09.16.2023)

Part of the pain of these posts is, I don't really keep a log, so I have to go back and remember what I did the last week. Part of the point of these posts, is I don't keep a log, and I have to go back and remember what I did during the last week. It's all a sort of, purposeful, mental health exercise. Try to reflect on life and the good or whatever I suppose. Some weeks are in fact, truly uneventful and boring. Which in theory should be the time to spur some sort of reflection and…

Code Project – HTML/CSS – Free Code Camp Responsive Web Design

I have a huge pile of online courses bookmarked that I would like to run through. This does have some pitfalls, maybe I'll get to that another day. Today I want to discuss one I finished. The FreeCodeCamp Responsive Web Design course. You get a little certification for completing these, which mostly just bolsters the part of me that, doesn't really find much value in certifications. I didn't really need to take this course, but it's part of the basic "core list" on FreeCodeCamp's website, and my obsessive completionism mind says I should do those, in addition to anything else…

Weekly Wrap-Up (09.03.2023 to 09.09.2023)

This week will be a bit music-heavy, not so much about anything specific, but about what I have been doing in general. It honestly could almost be its own, separate post and topic, instead of a weekly wrap post.Anyway. Roughly, 4 months or so ago, Target Circle had a 3 months free offer for Apple Music and Apple TV. I have no interest in Apple TV's content, sorry Ted Lasso. I did take the offer, so I could watch Tetris, then immediately set it to cancel. The Apple Music I did want to try out. I don't make it any…

What I’ve Been Playing – 4 Months Edition

Has it really been almost 4 months? Maybe it's closer to three, but it's been, way too long. I think there has actually been an entire Fortnite Season in there, because last post I was talking about Fortnite, Star Wars was still in there, and I want to say that was at the end of Ch4S2, and right now it's the early days of Ch4S4. Whoops. I did play Chapter 4 Season 3, though I didn't get to level 200 in the Battle Pass. I actually was going to skip the pass but I kind of wanted Optimus Prime and…

Weekly Wrap-Up (08.27.2023 to 09.02.2023)

Ok, I wrote this later and back-dated it, because I was going to not, but I need to not get back into the trap of "not". Look at me, slacking already, no posts since the end of Blaugust. Not even the Friday music album post, PS, I have missed several of those. I am at the time of the year when I realize I have a ton of vacation days left to use up, so I took Friday off. I may take a lot of Fridays off. I have enough days to take one off each week for the rest…
Blaugust 2023 Wrap-Up – What I Learned

Blaugust 2023 Wrap-Up – What I Learned

The last theme week for Blaugust is "Lessons Learned". I can't say I learned anything new, I've been blogging for a while, literally decades, and I'm already aware of well, all of that which comes along with it. As, kind of depressing as they are. But let's pretend it's all fresh and new. Daily Updates As much as I like the idea of updating daily, I am not cut out for it, not anymore. Maybe never, though this isn't the first time I put effort into daily blogging. I like to think I have plenty of idea of things to…
