/now
What I'm focused on right now
$ cat current_state.txt
Hey! This is a /now page â a snapshot of what I'm currently focused on in my life. It's updated whenever things shift significantly (which, let's be honest, is pretty often).
Unlike a blog post, this isn't meant to be timeless. It's a moment in time. Come back in a few months and it'll probably look different.
đŧ Working On
- Major infrastructure project at work â migrating legacy systems to modern stack
- This website! Always tweaking and adding new features
- Automating repetitive IT tasks with PowerShell and Python scripts
- Documentation overhaul for our internal knowledge base
đ Learning
- Kubernetes â finally diving deep into container orchestration
- Rust â the borrow checker is kicking my butt but I'm learning
- Audio engineering â trying to understand mixing and mastering
- Sports analytics â Python + pandas for statistical analysis
đ Reading
- The Phoenix Project â IT novel that's surprisingly gripping
- Moneyball â Re-reading before baseball season
- Designing Data-Intensive Applications â Slow but worth it
- Various tech blogs and documentation (always in tabs)
đ§ Listening To
- New album on repeat â can't stop hitting play
- Classic rock deep cuts for coding sessions
- Tech podcasts: Command Line Heroes, Darknet Diaries
- Sports podcasts: The Athletic, Effectively Wild
đ Home Projects
- Expanding Home Assistant automations â voice control everything
- Building a proper media room with calibrated display
- Garden automation with soil sensors and automated watering
- Cable management â the never-ending battle
đ¯ Goals
- Get CKA certified (Kubernetes) by end of year
- Write one blog post per month (starting strong!)
- Attend a live music event every month
- Finally beat that one impossible game boss
