Sitting on the deck tonight. Lights are off. Crickets are singing. Burning down a cigar. Watching the moon change.

It takes a long time for me to work through a very basic planning session due to my motivation, attention span and bringing myself back from tangential research. It’s part of my process but not something I can easily state will only occupy a certain amount of my Sunday.

I was digging into the names of the week, today (as one does). I learned about the Chaldean planetary hours. There is a long chain of events including cultural appropriation and colonization, but, following the arrow of time, essentially the English weekday names are derived from practices begun in Babylon.

Today I finally have a Keychron keyboard. There was a deal on Woot that I could not pass up. K8 with Brown switches. I regret nothing.

I am disappointed in myself.

I have recently learned I have some blind spots with respect to how I act and how it makes people feel.

The magic is in how I make people feel. And sometimes I’m repellent or, if I’m lucky, only irritating.

I used to pride myself on being a geek with a personality, but that river is neither as deep nor as wide as I had hoped. I’ve reached a point where I need to modify this river’s course, or I will not be able to continue to flow.

Stowaway is a really cool web-based application of publicly available, live fight information. I have been using FlightRadar24 on my phone for years. It’s a great way to answer “What is that plane?” Or “I wonder where they are going?”

Stowaway creates a graphical UI based on what you might be able to see from the ground, which is different than the top-down view of FlightRadar24. FlightRadar24 does also offer simulated views from the perspective of the aircraft.

ADHD: Later that same day, go to a room to get something. Perform a secondary task in the room. Leave the room without the thing you entered it for. Remember when you return to the place you started from.

ADHD: Walking into the Men’s room at work and seeing something that you left in a previous visit, but weren’t missing just yet.

I am such a mess. By which I mean I am so tired of me.
