Going to swap out the old Dell laptop for a Windows desktop. Took a trip to Micro Center to pick up a PowerSpec pre-built. The rumors that Black Friday wouldn't offer better deals convinced me to buy now rather than wait. Now I just need time to unbox it and set it up. #PrebuiltPC #MicroCenter

Just received my copy of The Rust Programming Handbook by @francescociulla.bsky.social. Rust is on my learning roadmap. I've followed Francesco for years and have always enjoyed his content, so I'm looking forward to digging into this when I get to learning Rust. Thanks for putting this together!

After years of running dual monitors, I finally made the jump to an ultrawide monitor. The biggest surprise isn’t the size, it’s how much cleaner and more focused the entire workspace feels with a single display.

I’m moving from a dual monitor setup to an ultrawide monitor and can’t wait to see what having all that extra screen space does for my workflow. #Developer #Programming #DevLife #WorkspaceSetup

Time on the lake at our family cabin in Northern Minnesota. Had a great ride on the boat. Back home tonight and back to coding on Tuesday #lakelife #northernminnesota

Spending Memorial Day weekend at the family lake cabin. It’s a nice crisp, foggy morning in Northern Minnesota. Great time to clear the mind and prep for a busy week ahead. Wishing everyone a great holiday weekend! #Minnesota #Lakelife

Phase 3 complete. The Uplift desk is assembled, flipped, and the motors are fully functional. Up next: wall prep, shelving, and final cable management next week. Getting closer to a finished workspace.

Office Renovation: Phase 2 My old desk is officially gone. On Wednesday I'll be assembling my new Uplift sit/stand desk. For now I'm using one of my storage cube organizers as a standup desk with my laptop on top of it. #BuildingInPublic #DeveloperLife #HomeOffice

Working on an office renovation this week to modernize my office. On Monday I got rid of the old bookshelf and am replacing it with two dark colored storage cube organizers. One will go behind where I sit and the other to the left of my desk. #Workspace #TechSetup #HomeOffice

My view this morning!

Blizzard warning in Minnesota: 12–18 inches and 45 mph winds. Hoping the power stays on so I can get some coding done.

Weekend reset. Snow, speed, and some time with my daughter.❄️🛷

Minnesota doing Minnesota things. -22°F ❄️

Happy Thanksgiving to my friends in the U.S. Grateful for family, friends, and this community.

Today was a huge day. My daughter Aspyn started Kindergarten. She’s 5 and was very excited to start school. Proud dad moment! If you’re a parent in tech or pivoting into tech I’d love to connect. #TechDad #ProudDad #DadLife #TechJourney

This smile says it all. Our little guy Jett just turned 6 months old! As someone changing careers into tech, parenting while learning to code is a wild ride. I wouldn’t trade it for anything. #TechDad #ParentingInTech #CareerChange #DevLife

Took a week off from coding to go to Florida with my family. Had some great time at the beach and got to touch some sand. Also being the space geek I am was able to see 4 rocket launches and had a tour of NASA. Feel refreshed now. Back to coding on Monday.

4th and final launch of my trip. SpaceX Falcon 9 Starlink launch from Kennedy Space Center #spacex #kennedyspacecenter #Starlink

Went to Kennedy Space Center Visitor’s Complex today. Saw the Space Shuttle Atlantis. #nasa #kennedyspacecenter #spaceshuttleatlantis

Was able to watch a SpaceX Falcon 9 Booster being towed into port today. #spacex

3rd rocket launch of my trip. Last night’s SpaceX Falcon 9 launch of Starlink satellites. #spacex #Starlink

2nd rocket launch of my vacation. This launch was an ULA Atlas V. Sadly due to cloud cover visibility was limited. It launched satellites for Amazon’s Project Kuiper. #ula #atlasv #amazon #ProjectKuiper

Taking a week away from coding and went with my wife and 2 kids to Florida. Saw my first ever rocket launch. #spacex #kennedyspacecenter

Nice to see how fast Bluesky is growing. The below link shows you the growth in real time. bcounter.nat.vg

First snowfall of the season in the Twin Cities of Minnesota. View from my office window.

I'm going to become more active on Bluesky. The hard part is finding all my connections from X. I just read about this extension today. It helped a lot! skyfollowerbridge.com

Stepped away from the computer for a few days for some outdoor time with my wife and daughter. Great Labor Day weekend! Back to coding on Wednesday.
