Here’s what I’m up to:

Living in Bay Area, with wife and two daughters (11, 10)

Working in R&D at Hatch, a consumer device company focused on rest and sleep.

📚 My goal is to read 30 books this year, follow along on My Goodreads for my latest, and see if I’m currently on-track.

🎙 I co-host a movie podcast with my friends, listen and subscribe at Reel DMC.

📷 Photography is in a fallow period, you can see my previous daily photos on my photography site

🎧 Podcasts – I listen to various podcasts when walking the dog, my current playlist:

• Bill Simmons Podcast – Sports and pop culture
• No Stupid Questions – Stephen Dubner and Angela Duckworth
• Plain English with Derek Thompson – General topics
• 99% Invisible – design thoughts for things we don’t normally think about.
• The Internet of Things Podcast – Stacie Higginbothom and Kevin Toefle

🧰 Tools

Hardware and software I use:

Computer: A 2021 M1 Macbook Pro 16" a solid machine with great battery life.

Work Tools: I’m doing less programming these days, a chance to play with hardware, prototyping with Raspberry Pi and various sensors and modules. When not in Vim, I've been enjoying the Nova code editor from Panic.

Productivity: I use my own Task utility to track todos, but most everything else is folders of markdown files.

Phone: iPhone 13

Digital Camera: Ricoh GR IIIx

Film Camera: I’m down to just the sturdy Nikon FM2, but haven’t been shooting much lately.
