Lately the bee in my bonnet has been a desire to write and direct.

And I sorta, kinda, definitely fell into the hype cycle and purchased a FX5. My FX3 will finally leave the studio and be used more on the go for all sorts of filming action.
Mark where have you been?? Well, I deleted social media from my phone and have mostly been posting from the web browser. What have been doing?? Working feverishly and playing a lot of guitar lol
Another Capital P practice session. I'm coming out the other side of the mud, as it were, and I'm starting to feel motivated again. I can now shoot some videos again.
I tried practicing quietly this morning in the bedroom while the CF was asleep, but she said it woke her up. I'm going to have to go into the closet!
Time for some capital P practice! This means really digging deep on fretting hand hygiene. I keep meaning to make a video showing y'all my progress, but I keep forgetting
I may or may not have just completed the entire 18s scream from "Given Up" AMA
Just finished a laaaaaate practice session. My fretting hand will be beat into submission. Getting in reps only means that in a few weeks these difficult things will be much easier
Usually my right forearm/hand is feeling the burn after a long guitar practice. Today, my left hand is really feeling it and I'm sweating a bit. My left-handed lunacy campaign is working lol
quick tldr of in demand skill sets right now... >AI/ML specialization is getting 20-30% salary bumps. generalists are getting 4% >system design skills are worth more than they were 2 years ago >security and devops command a 20-40% premium over general swe
After I eat this entire package of chips ahoy to deal with my feelings, we're gonna be on one 😤
MY CARDIOLOGIST SAID I LOOKED LIKE I GAINED SOME WEIGHT LOL She didn't even look at the chart lol
That time I recommended Uh Yaya to @ajames.dev and he hated it lol
One of the neighborhood kiddos knocked on my door at 8PM and asked if the heir could come out and play. 8 is bedtime. But because I'm trying to let him have fun experiences and a "90s" summer. I let him go out for 45 minutes and then he came back safely. I did this in the 80s, glad he could too.
Another trip around the sun is leaving me feeling very content to have lasted this long and to have the opportunity to spend time with the ones that matter most. Here's to the next 365 🙏🏾
Left hand intensity is well underway. I'm fine tuning my legato technique and it's humbling as heck
I was terrified to watch "The Giver" because I thought it was gonna be really sad/emotional 😭
I think I need to chop up broccoli in bulk because chopping it per meal is taking too long

In the room, ready for my upcoming keynote session - What's New in Angular 🚀 Also premiering these today 👀
I'm away at Google I/O and I know the heir misses me, I miss him and the co-founder a ton. He challenged me to a chess match on Duolingo and I let him cook me lol but honestly, I was just happy he wanted to connect with me like that (I also don't know how to play chess lol)
I have been playing my tailbone off lately! Feeling tight and fast on this Jackson!
After making 200 videos over the last 6-8 months, I'm only going to post when there's something cool to show on guitar. I want to put as much time as I can into my latest pursuit: "Left hand lunacy" My right hand is fast as heck now. I want to beef up my left hand to unlock what's next for me.
