Enjoy.
Past Friday Flights
12/23: Merry Christmas!
12/9: The Thing About Time
What I’m Up To
TL;DR: Witcher 3 Next Gen
What I’m Up To:
On Experimenting: Did an AI Learning Test - It was fun. Check out the results here.
On Activism: To this day, I still get calls and requests for advice from CSULB (my college) BAP&AS (a club). The people who seek support are always a welcome refreshment to my day to day and week to week.
On Health: I too got wrecked by the Covid-19 Moderna Booster
On Running: At the time of this writing, I am at 996.6 miles of a 1,000 mile goal for the year, and I have 1 more day left, and it’s expected to rain.
On Ecommerce: My little ecommerce store I started in like March grossed 7.5k in sales.
On New People: Thanks to Liz Mohler, executive and career coach who is taking new clients (msg if interested), I met a Jon M. who is currently in Portugal. A man who has done all kinds of things, especially in the blockchain space, but hasn’t yet found a way to let the world know. Sound familiar?
On Movie Recs: Guillermo Del Toro’s Pinocchio is a must see, stop-motion instant classic that beats out the other 5 Pinocchio’s from this year. Yes there were 3 Pinnochio’s released this year.
On Christmas: For the Holidays, I made 10 servings of home-made pho and some home-made spring rolls for everyone. If there’s one counter intuitive lesson from making pho, it’s this: You have to degunk and wash your meat. Odd concept I know.
On Cooking: You need to follow America’s Test Kitchen - get started with this video, and the 50 egg test of non-stick skillets.
On a Wallet Extractor: For those of you in blockchain that need csv outputs to get your accounting going, I have something for you. Check this out.
On Video Games: I’ve played 63 hours of Against the Storm and I’m not proud of that. Or my Steam Replay.

It’s like Craigslist but my name isn’t Craig.
