I've been using this account as my primary for about a week now, and I'm think I'm settled on using it for the foreseeable future, so I guess it's time to do another post.

I'm a dad of four kids, and a web developer. I have a college degree in (or ) and had aspirations of being an actor. I kind of fell into web development as a career. It was a hobby back in high school, and I just needed to pay some bills after college, so I ended up doing this.

I always have aspirations to do other things, but for now, I'm pretty happy spending most of my time as a dad and husband.

Some day, I'd like to get back into , or maybe do some . I also enjoy and will, from time to time, post some , usually from somebody's .

I love , and usually watch at least one episode nearly every day. I like all really, though, as well as . I used to read a lot, but find I don't have as much time or mental capacity for it as I used to. I also enjoy watching , and have really been enjoying the new episodes of lately.

Feel free to follow me if you think we have similar interests, and I may follow you back, if I think likewise. 👋

Any time I want it to rain, all I have to do is water my lawn, and within the next day or two, it will rain.

In the word "queue", only the first letter is pronounced. The other four are silent (quietly waiting their turn).

I like to put TV on in the background while I'm working. One of those work from home benefits. On an average day of 8 hours of work, after taking out time for meetings, I can usually watch anywhere from 8 to 12 episodes of TV (depending on the length of the episodes, of course).

But today, I spent most of the morning, and some of the afternoon pairing with a new developer on the team, so I couldn't have my TV on in the background while we worked through his stuff together. So now, I'm almost 6 hours into my 8 hour day, and I'm just now finishing my second episode.

And even though it makes absolutely no sense at all, my brain has somehow come to associate the amount of TV I've watched while working with my productivity. And so, somehow, I feel like I've had a less productive day because I've watched less TV, even though that obviously makes no sense at all.

My five-year-old daughter is crying because she didn't get anything for Mother's Day.

I tried to explain to her that maybe in twenty years or so, she might be a mother and get something, but that didn't console her.

Pope Leo has a mathematics degree from Villanova. He not only understands sin, he also understands cos.
