Day 12, What hobbies have you had in the past that you no longer have? What happened? The only hobby I can think of is Magic: The Gathering. To be honest, I just transitioned that obsession/hobby into different interests. I still really enjoy deck-building games and, if anything, enjoy them more without the mana...

Day 11, What is your current relationship with technology? Do you enjoy it? Does it cause you anxiety? Its complicated. I love technology but its lately been giving me more an more anxiety. Mostly because I was one of those people who drew alot of self satisfaction at being a programmer. Specifically, spending the...

Day 10: What’s Your Relationship with Physical Labor? Do You Enjoy, Accept, or Avoid It? I really enjoy it. When I was younger, as I mentioned in a previous post, I touched on this a bit. But honestly, I lose myself in physical labor. It’s affirming. That’s not to say I don’t get anything from mental work; it’s just...

Day 9, Do you have a gratitude practice? Why or why not? What sort of things are you grateful for? Yes, actually really enjoy writing in a journal and always putting a ‘highlight’ around what happened that day. Used to have a more dedicated journal once I first heard of the practice. It was really interesting to put...

Day 8, What is the funniest book or TV show with which you are familiar? Recently I recommended Calvin and Hobbes. Once again would recommend that and Minus, from beats by kiwi. Outside of that the most recent book I read that had me laughing was the black tongue thief.

Day 7: Do you have any unpopular opinions or dislike something that many people like? I believe birthdays should have been for pie and not cake. That most meetings could be a blog article in a wiki. That people complain about the things that they wish they could get away with. These are the small rebellions of...

Day 6, What is or was your relationship with people from your parent’s generation? When I was younger I thought it was pretty good. But I’ll be honest, once I’d moved away from the parents twenty years back, the times I’ve worked with folks of that same age range has been limited. The ones I’ve worked with have...

Day 5: What is the most memorable job you’ve held? Easy enough. My most memorable job was one my father gave me in the summer of 1996. I was presented with a few tons of sand/dirt that had been moved from a sewer trench – not exactly the glamorous of summer gigs most teenagers dream about, but it would become...

Day 4, What woman in your family do you most admire and why? Thankfully, I’ve had a number of remarkable women in my life that I could look up to and admire. But, if I had to name one in particular, I’d say that I deeply admire my mom. She has been and continues to be a pillar of strength for me. Her dedication to...

Day 3, Why do you like your favorite restaurant? The easy answer would be the food. But if I was to dig a little deeper, its the feeling of space combined with good cheer. I like the fact that I can spend time with my family over a meal that ill enjoy. Its funny, I wouldn’t say I have a favorite restaurant. But I...

Day 2, On what subjects are you outspoken and on what subjects are you mostly mute? Kinda surprised this would be the start of day two’s questions. So lets get into it. I am outspoken mostly topics of biking infrastructure and the need for people to have balance in life. Even started a startup once with a friend...

Introduction So when I was looking through some rss tech, I stumbled upon the website blogroll and after clicking a few links, I found a fun blogging challenge called 50 blog posts in 50 days, that had been completed by forking mad. This seemed like a fun challenge, so I thought I could throw my hat in the ring and...
