I’m 51 years old and working from my home in Cincinnati, Ohio.
I need a haircut.
I have this slight welt under my eye when I wake up of late.
It usually goes away by the afternoon.
Super annoying.
Last night:
- Installed Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order and got through all the setup and cut scenes and played to the first save point. It feels like an Uncharted game in the Star Wars universe.
- Watched S1 E9 of Poker Face – Escape from Shit Mountain (Peacock) over a dinner of Beyond Burgers. The show scratches a nostalgia itch.
Today:
- Spend most of my time in Adobe Illustrator updating a set of product icons for a fintech company
- Hopped over to Figma to lay out concepts for a home page for a telecom services company
- Collect bits of design work done for WOXY, an awesome streaming radio station that is no more but gearing up for a show over Memorial Day
- Maybe work up some concepts to revisit Tags and add Categories to the journal on the site here

Generally:
Bought a new old house in Cincinnati, Ohio after a lifetime of renting. My boyfriend, cat Edie and I have now seen all the seasons in the abode, upgraded the electrical box, cleaned the gutters, vacuumed the ducts, mowed the grass and got a new roof.
Trying to ween myself off ad-supported social media and enjoying time on Mastodon. I’m excited by the idea of ActivityPub powering a new generation of disparate stuff we can string together. Like RSS, but easier I guess?
Recently had a not-so-great visit with my oncologist. 2023 is kicking off dedicated to personal health. Update from oncologist Feb 2023: My numbers have rebounded to the “good zone” so I can fret less about leukemia on the daily.
Other things swirling around:
- Reading: Mr. Penumbra’s 24-Hour Bookstore by Robin Sloan
- Just finished watching: Cunk on Earth (Netflix), The Last of Us (HBO)
- Playing: Metroid Prime Remasterd (Switch) after hitting a difficulty wall with Tunic
- Listening: Something different every day
- Planning: A trip to Brooklyn, Toronto, and Cleveland
