Working on a thing

🥱 Rough sleep last night. Need coffee.

Non-passkey MFA is getting old.

☀️ Grateful Log for Monday, October 26, 2026

1. Sleeping in
2. Slow starts
3. First sip

Good morning and Happy Monday ☕️

☀️ Grateful Log for Saturday, October 24, 2026

1. Saturday football and beer
2. Mozzie scored a touchdown in his flag football game today (last game of the season)!
3. A fantastic time at Longwood gardens yesterday

And so, I am now looking for 5–10 couples to test Kitchen Table, a little iPhone app Lindsay and I use to write down what we decided, and why. It’s in public TestFlight, and the thing I most need tested is sharing it with your person. Interested?

Another one. And I do want to say this: all of what I have made and am now starting to get out there has been made for a while and I’ve been running it through my own testing before asking anyone else to test, finding what my use finds, but, that only finds so much.

☀️ Grateful Log for Friday, October 23, 2026

1. My 4:30 alarm didn’t go off…I am thankful for the extra 2 hours of sleep (even though I did have plans for that early start).
2. Family day ahead!
3. Helping score Mozzie’s Air Pistol team’s qualifiers

Finally got my intro to Cloudbase video published on the tube. Out of practice but fun to get back into recording and publishing video. Please give it a watch!

☀️ Grateful Log for Thursday, October 22, 2026

1. Up early this morning for some quiet before the day got going
2. Recognizing the need for cognitive rest
3. Doing something about said cognitive rest.

Shipped a pretty substantial update to Cloudbase earlier this morning - getting the team structure just right has been a nice puzzle to work through: “who can do what”

☀️ Grateful Log for Wednesday, October 21, 2026

1. shining sun
2. nice walk with Lindsay
3. time today to do some edging around the yard, not many times left

🎙️ Video recorded, intro of sorts to Cloudbase. Good to be recording and talking again. And writing too! The various forms and mediums of creativity and expression are quite fun to get into. I’ll share it once published.

One more cup of coffee to focus this morning.

Had a pretty massive release for Cloudbase over the weekend. Generic search became “Direct-to” where you can not just search but you can see previews, do things, change how it looks, navigate around the app, all from “the box”. Release notes here.

☕️ french press time. then just a few light things for Cloudbase before shifting into my workday.

☀️ Grateful Log for Tuesday, October 20, 2026

1. Made it through Monday unscathed
2. Hot coffee on cold mornings
3. Getting up while it is still dark out

☕️ Had bloodwork this morning so had to fast and not have coffee all morning…not easy when that is absolutely part of my morning rituals! I’m good now though, blood taken and coffee brewed.

☀️ Grateful Log for Monday, October 19, 2026

1. Another night of amazing sleep
2. A really good “money meeting” with Lindsay yesterday
3. The outlook of being debt free - going to be a game changer!

🌦️ Grateful Log for Sunday, October 18, 2026

1. Great sleep!
2. Clear testing
3. Changing seasons

Today’s football beer. Hoping for a PSU win 😬

I’ve been posting a bit about Cloudbase, but never officially, I don’t think, wrote anything about it: what it is, why I made it, and so on. Finally got around to doing so (blog post here) and am thankful for the time I’ve had lately to get words out of my head :-)

🌦️ Grateful Log for Saturday, October 17, 2026

1. Watching Spider-Man: Brand New Day with Mozzie last night
2. Plowing through a lingering list of things yesterday
3. Waking up feeling great!

17 days of NOT having bourbon, except on Friday. One day a week, and so tonight I shall craft a Manhattan (and enjoy it more as a result).

🌦️ Grateful Log for Friday, October 16, 2026

1. Rain and fog this morning
2. Sun this afternoon
3. Friday’s to mostly focus on personal projects

the current state of things
