> So what's going on right now in my life? ### Blog Migrating back to Obsidian Publish for my writing. I find it to be the most convenient for me. As such, I'm moving all of my notes around and republishing them. I've ignored these within the "freshest notes" section of the home page, for now. ### 🏡 Homestead & Family Living on 3 acres in Northeast Texas means there is always something to be done outside. We are currently cleaning up the property in preparation for installing a new pool. The kids are in the rhythm of the school year. ### 💻 Professional Focus At the MSP, I am focusing on several **Leadership Initiatives** for 2026. Big client's conference went off without any technical issues! This is a win in my book as this client has always been the one that Murphy loves... ### 📚 Reading & Study I'm slowly working through another read of _[[Lewis - Mere Christianity (2001)|Mere Christianity]]_ by C. S. Lewis. I'm trying to be more disciplined about processing these into my **Zettelkasten** rather than just highlighting and forgetting. Also reading _Black_ by Ted Dekker for fun. It's my third round through the Circle Trilogy, so it's purely for the moments where I feel the need to look at my phone but want to avoid getting into the muck. ### 🐍 Code I've come to realize the power of simple HTML tools. No ads, no tracking, no backend servers. Just code running locally in my browser. My current playground for this is over at [HomeLab Playground](https://homelabplayground.com/) where it hosts various tools (some barely work the way they should). But I'm constantly thinking of new things I can do. Whatever options I can come up with to make everything just slightly easier, I'll at least give them a shot. ### Tags #about_me
