Week Notes 2025-19

Week Notes for May 12-18, 2025

I'm not feeling particularly loquacious this time around so I think I'm sticking to tried and true bullet points.

I reframed my to-do list this week to make sure I GTD. For example: "I get to play Spider-Man after I get through my list" vs "I have to complete my list before I can play Spider-Man"
First softball game tonight! I hope I can hit the ball.
- I can definitely hit. Massive home run, over the netting and onto the other field. Unfortunately it was the 2nd home run in the inning, so it was an out
Parking lot repair at the office, and we were asked to work from home if possible. I opted to take the train - worked out very well. Got to enjoy It's Storytime with Wil Wheaton
- The final train station, Tunney's Pasture, is a busy hive of people who seem to know exactly where they're going.
- I got an idea for some narrative nonfiction from my trip. Started writing it to get my ideas out, I'll continue working on it a bit. Probably will want someone to read it.
Mundane excitement for the week: they began street sweeping on Friday! Sure sign of summer
Note to self for future notes: swap "Links" and "Things I Made" sections

Stayed on top of my health this week. Until Friday stayed at or under my calorie goal.

The only thing I really want to highlight is the script I wrote to expedite finishing my colour contrast page - see blog post below
I upgraded my Linux tower RAM to 16GB. Next is an SSD upgrade but will switch to lower capacity to save $$

listened to Moist's 1996 album Creature. Really liked Disco Days.
Finished the main story for Spider-Man (PS4) with days to spare before returning to the library.
- taking a break from story driven games as I'm too busy to play them in the summer
"I Want You (Fever)" by Momma is stuck in my head on loop. I don't mind.
Photos: took a really nice photo with my phone, have edited it and will post it on the photo blog soon. Finally downloaded photos from April to post as well

Colour Contrasts - Complete | An Almost Anonymous Blog
Finished my entry for Hyde's Over/Under series - I'm up June 2nd
Made a cool/silly video using clips from NHL 25, edited entirely on my phone. https://youtu.be/ZWfSSdnFbNY
- my friend pointed me to "Capcut" so will check that out
