Now

+ 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. +

+ 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. +

+ 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. +

+ The concept of this comes from nownownow.com, 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 now page! +

December 2025

+ Welcome to my first "now" update! +

+ 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. +

+ 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. +

+ 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. +

+ 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. +

+ 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. +

+ Anywho, that's my little update. Shoot me an email if you want to hear from me! +
