I didn't read quite as much as I would have liked to in November since I started a new job and was getting into the swing of things so it took me a bit longer than usual to finish what I did read. In total I finished 2 books which …

October turned out to be a both a pretty good month for completing books, but also a bit of a bummer for various reasons. I didn't make my goal of completing 4 books but I came pretty close. On top of that I definitely enjoyed the books I did finish …

I've been searching for a job for a while now and there's one benefit that is constantly getting overlooked and that's a 401(k). In the past setting up, managing, and running a 401k was difficult or you had to bring in some big bank to handle it for you …

Last week I sent out an announcement email to my project's mailing list to inform users that I would be shutting down my latest side project Primeminder.

July was another busy month with job interviews and some traveling so I didn't quite hit my goal and I did read a book I had finished in the past because I felt like revisiting it. That's something I typically don't do, but I didn't want to read something new …

June was a pretty busy month due to looking for a job and the associated interviews and studying but I was still able to get some reading in. I've been having a pretty hard time reading non-fiction books but tried again this month, it went about as well as I …
