Day 32, What is your perfect record album? This kind of seems like the article on day 24 of 50 blog posts but ill get after it. The perfect record album was this mixtape I had from earthday in 1996, specifically “95.7 FM San Diego: Collector’s Edition 1996”. I just felt it was a really good album and had a nice mix...

Day 31, Is there a particular country other than your own that fascinates you? Why? Canada. I love hiking, reading and biking. Yamaska National Park near Quebec holds a long time ache in my heart as id read about it in a national geographic when I was a kid. Just looked amazing. Also ive watch youtube hikers and...

Day 30, What is something you are passionate about and why? Im passionate about writing. Throughout my life, its been the one thing I could turn to that has helped me with speaking, programming and learning to be a better human. Its kind of funny, with all the generative AI that has sprung up. Writing is one of the...

Day 29, Can you make a list of 20 moments in your current or past life that you would classify as sublime? Not sure about past life, but if i could, here are 20 from this life (ill attempt chronogical): Seeing an alleyway, from the corner of my eye, it looked like the entrance to fairye. kid you not. Using a bottle...

Day 28, Do you have an /Interests page on your blog? What is on it or what would you put on one if you made it? I don’t! but I should write one up at some point.

What kind of decorations do you have in your workspace? What do they mean to you? I have a mix of old linux cd’s from the 90s (got to prove ive got old af xwindows that didnt give an f about your screen refresh). Pieces of different cubicles from early in my career. Books. All the books. I find that when your on a...

Decided to take off for a little trip last weekend So for my birthday this year, after watching a bike tubber, I decided to emulate this persons tradition. Riding the number of miles you are turning. For me, that was a pretty tall ask. However, after getting in some early spring rides, I did ok. I also lucked out...

Day 26, Are you retired or working? What are your plans for retirement? Im working and happily employed. For retirement, I just expect to do more of the same, sinec most of the things I enjoy, eg reading, riding bikes, eating are things that should be sustainable. Id like to travel, but I really like where I live as...

Day 25, Is there a special food from your region or heritage that you a particular appreciation for? I grew up in a small town in San Diego, so I would say, the one food I miss more then most is a basic breakfast burrito from this place called Nico’s in Ocean Beach. The area has lots of great places to eat and yeah,...

Day 24: Write a review of your favorite album. What lyrics mean something special to you? Alright, let’s rip the band-aid off for this one. It’s by far the ‘Dumb and Dumber’ soundtrack. While this selection sounds dumb, give me a second. When I used to go to Tower Records, I didn’t have a ton of money, so finding...
