1. Monthly updates:

  1. Helped a friend get right-side-up with capacity planning!

  3. Started going to live music again!!!

2. Primary focus areas:

  1. Keep working on the beta version of my new CMS app!
  2. More networking with folks in my field (and beyond?!)
  3. Close out the site’s content (re)tagging project!

3. What I’m currently reading:

  1. Rhythm of War by Brandon Sanderson.
