What I'm Doing Now
Last Updated: 2026-03-26 in Vancouver, WA.
- Being a dad to a 1 yr old. Just when I think I've childproofed our home, he proves me wrong.
- Meditating daily. I recently picked back up my meditation practice and have been making it a point to sit for a minimum of 15 minutes per day.
- Training jiu-jitsu at Inertia BJJ. I realized recently that I started training almost 10 years ago and I still suck!
- Studying to retake the CCNA exam - LARPing as a Network Engineer until then.
Books I'm reading:
- I, Robot by Isaac Asimov
- Meditations by Marcus Aurelius
- Mindfulness: A Practical Guide to Awakening by Joseph Goldstein
Audiobooks I'm listening to:
- Foundation series by Isaac Asimov - I've read all the Foundation books, so I'm revisiting them in audiobook format.
- The Cuckoo's Egg: Tracking a Spy Through the Maze of Computer Espianage by Cliff Stoll
Music I'm listening to:
- All Classical Radio - When my phone isn't connected to my car, I'm listening to classical music.
- faru - Calming "drone" music.
- Despised Icon - An album that makes me want to do push ups.
- Martin Nonstatic - I actually bought all of this guy's music (I think) off of Bandcamp. Ambient/IDM genre, it's great for when I'm focusing.
Podcasts I'm listening to:
I've actually reduced the amount of podcasts I'm subscribed to to just one and am now listening to more audiobooks.
