Hey, I'm Dylan. I'm a Software Engineer primarily writing Java. For fun I like to automate things in my home, deploy docker containers, ride bikes, and drink coffee.
If you'd like to learn more about me, check out my blog where I mainly ramble about the projects I'm working on.

+ <h1>Now</h1>
+ <p>
+ Welcome to my "now" page, which I'll be using to tell you how I'm currently doing,
+ and what's currently going on in this season of my life. At some point, I'll probably begin putting my "now"
+ updates on a separate archive page. For now, expect a long list here.
+ </p>
+ <p>
+ You might ask, why not just make blog posts? My blog posts tend to contain more thoughts and ideas, as well
+ as technical details of projects I'm working on for all of my fellow nerds out there.
+ </p>
+ <p>
+ As I continue to distance myself from social media, I'd still like to provide folks
+ a way to see what I'm up to, especially if we haven't talked in some time.
+ </p>
+ <p>
+ The concept of this comes from <a href="https://nownownow.com/about">nownownow.com</a>, which I found
+ interesting as soon as I found it. If you've broke up with social media and want to share life updates,
+ make your own <a href="https://dbolger.dev/now">now</a> page!
+ </p>
+ <h2>December 2025</h2>
+ <p>
+ Welcome to my first "now" update!
+ </p>
+ <p>
+ Right now, I'm slowing down for the winter in terms of my endurance training.
+ While the weather is gloomy,
+ I'd like to spend more time focusing on projects at home that I've had on the backburner during the summer season.
+ Those projects include distancing from social media, writing some programs for fun, reading more books and blogs, quitting doomscrolling,
+ and doing more fulfilling things with friends and family.
+ </p>
+ <p>
+ Since March, I've been super into cycling and running. This past season of endurance training I completed three 5K races, one triathlon, and one gravel cycling race.
+ My most recent 5K race was the turkey trot. This year, I set the goal of completing it in
+ less than 20 minutes, and I'm happy to say I did it in 19 minutes and 15 seconds. My pace was 6:12/mi. The next goal
+ is to complete a 5K with a sub-6 minute mile pace.
+ </p>
+ <p>
+ I am currently still employed at O'Reilly Auto Parts writing software for them. Still working on the point-of-sale,
+ currently working on a project to improve performance and reliability when we save a customer's invoice data.
+ I've learned a lot about multi-threading this year, and I feel very fortunate to have the opportunity to
+ be able to apply what I've learned into making things better.
+ </p>
+ <p>
+ Life is good - cold, but good. Some things could be better, but they could always be.
+ I miss riding my bike outdoors, and riding indoor on the stationary one isn't nearly as fun.
+ I realize though that this season of life is temporary, short, and will be complete before I even realize it.
+ I'd really like to make the most out of it though so I can be my best self for this next year. I may slow down on running and
+ cycling in this upcoming year. Mainly so I can enjoy a wider net of things in life, which I'm currently experimenting with.
+ </p>
+ <p>
+ Hopefully moving into a house this spring so I don't have to walk up stairs to be home. I've enjoyed the apartment life,
+ but it's starting to weigh on me. Fortunately my landlord hasn't been incredibly difficult, but I'd like to live somewhere
+ that feels more accomodative, especially to my cycling habits.
+ </p>
+ <p>
+ Anywho, that's my little update. Shoot me an email if you want to hear from me!
