It has been perhaps the 3 busiest months of my life between bidding on homes, closing, and moving. Despite my best efforts and planning, there was a lot more work and logistics than I had anticipated. While we are mostly settled now, there is a lot I wish I knew upfront that would make it go...

I'm on the move again!

After months of searching, we've finally found our dream home. I will have a lot to do between now and the closing date, right after which I need to begin work on the "Drupal 11 Development Cookbook" with Matt.

I wrote about what the new book may contain on the...

Drupal 11 is coming down the pipe this week, are you ready? I've already updated my site to the latest release, even though visually it looks the same to you.

Its been quiet around here lately but I have been efforting a lot of things, including completing a move. Hopefully I will have...

It feels like the post I made for 2023 goals was done only a little while ago - but here we are again at the start of a new year. I'll keep it short this year, things like reading and exercise are table stakes. Those are 'must do' things that are not really goals anymore - I just do it. Instead...

2023 was a white hot, fun, successful and non stop year for me. Perhaps one of the best in my life both personally and professionally. Hoping for (and working toward) that trend to continue into 2024 and beyond.

I accomplished a big milestone / bucket...

In line with the previous post, I have been thinking a lot about my career trajectory and how it is still ever rising. I've been doing what I do now for nearly 25 years.

I started building websites in the mid 1990's (thanks...

This will be a pretty short post - I've quit social media.

I actually quit a majority of them many years ago. Last spring I locked my Twitter and never looked back. That was something I said I was going to do for a while, and then finally did. I've had enough.

I also quit looking...
