A page that updates periodically to reflect what I’m currently working on, and what I’m currently interested in. A concept by Derek Sivers that I first became aware of through longtime colleague Jack Grimes.

Making

Thanks to good buddy Jack Mango, I seem to have gotten the radio bug again. He’s been running some coworking streams with the premise of a faux-radio station, 1125 - The Mango. Inspired by this, I made him a collection of Station ID Bumpers with the wealth of audio samples that I have, and it’s been a lot of fun. Between this and playing Cyberpunk 2077 (more on this in the Playing section), it’s got me inspired to build a collection of “radio stations” that include their own station IDs and everything. Maybe even ads eventually. Gonna start with 1 station for now, and we’ll see where this goes.

Doing

I’ve re-enaged “The Hunt”, my project name for job seeking, as I have some longevity concerns with $dayjob. Not making any rash moves, but if you happen to need a DevOps/Site Reliability Engineer on your team, I’m in the market. Updated resume site is in the works.

Thinking

Last updated 6 months ago… man I fell off the wagon on these. Not feeling guilty about it though. I’m hoping a return to form on this is a sign that things are looking better and that the reflection will help.

The world has a lot of stressors on it right now. I’m really not a fan of all that, just trying to muddle through. Therapy helps.

Playing

I started Cyberpunk 2077 a couple weeks ago, and oh my, is it a game. It’s been a very long time since I’ve been lost in a longform RPG, and it’s been a joy to play. In addition to the aforementioned deep dive into music and radio in the game that I love, I’m enjoying being a good choom to folks in Night City and trying to clean up the place as much as one chromed out edgeruner can. Currently working through some of the Phantom Liberty storyline right now, got a big moral dilemma to decide on. We’ll see what happens.

Listening

I’ve been going through a mixture of revisiting stuff I listened to in the 2010s as well as continuing on my K-Pop binge. The K-Pop stuff has been weird - so much of the stuff I love is clearly hyper-produced throwbacks to genres of the 90s-2010s, so it’s not like the genre is different from my normal listening. Le Sserafim’s “Crazy” is killer though, check it.

Electric Callboy released a new single as well - my buddy Matt turned me onto it last week, and it’s killer. Another example of kitbashing genres. I have a type apparently. This time, it’s NuMetal + Electro + Pop.
