Family

I’ll be married for 15 years (!) in July 2024. They’ve been pretty amazing. I wouldn’t trade them for anything.

My girls finished 7th and 2nd grade. This time next year my oldest will be preparing for high school and marching band. Truly, the days are long and the years are short. Trying to get the older one to finish the Harry Potter series, but she’s stuck on Order of the Phoenix and keeps picking up Riordan’s books again.

Work

Mouser Electronics is still a great place to work. Hopefully we can start some foundation repair on the website and enable easier development. I enjoy working more on system architecture and development instead of being in ops.

Sports

Its awesome that the Mavs (basketball) and the Stars (hockey) are in their respective conference finals. Hopefully ABC/ESPN gets to do lots of scheduling fun with the American Airlines center.

Alabama football is going to look different this year. I’m optimistic, but I’d also be content with an 8-4 season this year. New-look SEC + new coach is likely a recipe for weirdness.

Video Games

EA College Football 25 better not be bad. Mostly been playing old school SNES RPGs and Mario RPG remakes. Nothing incredible on the horizon that I’m looking forward to.

Books

Waiting patiently for Wind and Truth (Stormlight Book Five). Excited about my Leatherbound Words of Radiance. Yes, I’ve fully accepted that I’m giving Brandon Sanderson lots of money. However, he keeps giving me books, so it is a fair trade.

Webcomics

Currently enjoying
