A now page, why?

Projects I’m working on
Publishing a weekly update
Since the Summer of 2024, I’ve attempted to get in the regular habit of writing and publishing a weekly newsletter. I came back to it from time-to-time, dropped it for a bit, and then picked it back up again at the start of this year. The aim is to publish something every week, and I’ve made a real effort to do so. I’ve certainly missed a couple weeks, but I’ve consistently come back to it. As part of this, I’ve also been maintaining a list of Media and Marketing Research Resources.
Writing doesn’t come naturally to me, so having a standing weekly deadline motivates me to be bold and push myself outside of my comfort zone. Through some iteration, I’ve begun to find some voice.
Practicing Python
This is another one of those professional development projects that I’ve worked on in the past, put down for a bit, and came back to. This time around I’m trying to learn more of the language and get more comfortable with the syntax. I’ve found some good reading material, and I’m looking for projects I can apply what I’m learning.
Dot files, dot files, dot files
I’m a huge fan of having personal dotfiles for my development setup. I’ve been iterating on mine for a few years. However, as of recent, they’ve kind of become unwieldy, messy, and fragmented. Spring is upon us, so I’ll be doing a little spring cleaning of these files. The hope is to improve their organization, while also making them more portable across the different systems I use. Maybe I’ll even learn something new in the process. I’ll report back.

Books I’m reading
Think Python by Allen B. Downey
This is the book I’m reading to learn more about Python. I’ve found it to be a good introduction to the language thus far. I’m looking to apply more of what I’ve learned to some projects.
