I stand in the night
Breathing against all my fears
Tranquility sought
Tonight I’m seeking to calm my fears. My meditations upon tranquility are focusing on actually completing things.

Spring Is bursting with life
Plants calling the bees forward
Seeding the future
This flower is in my garden. Its one of many.
QUOTE OF THE DAY #33
Something I’ve long known: “What you focus on expands”. Another example.
A Monday Motivational Haiku
Now I am awake
Listening to the birds sing
Preparing to DO!
Time to move, to grow, act and move. Go and DO something you can brag about.
Check out this new construction in Snohomish, built by my team
This project is one the first I’ve seen from concept to build. It’s of particular importance to me. I was at the site anyways, and thought it would be fun to share it with you. Check it the video below.
Yeah, I realize I shot all the clips in portrait. Ugh!
Anyway, this house is for sale. Have your agent put an offer on this one! Don’t have one? I can fix that for you.
We’re looking forward to getting someone in there. That’s the best part of this job.
How many tabs do you have open?
Yeah, I’m a chronic tab opener. It’s one of my ways of managing work. For example, I’ll open an email in a new tab to ensure I don’t forget to response today. Or, right now, I’m checking on the status of several projects I have in permitting at the County. As I’m crafting one report, having all of them open at one time is helpful.
I know that having gobs of windows open in Chrome can impact performance. That is countered by efficiency, in my opinion.
But, well, I’m a certain kind of geek.
Productivity’s Great Challenge
The biggest challenge
Most of us will ever face
Is to simply start
A Productive Day
A productive day
Maintaining my focus helps
Fewer distractions
Oh Dear God, More Autoplay Video Annoyances
Ok, gobs of us non-silicon types have vented on the internet about auto-play videos. But instead of listening to us, webdevs are now playing “here, hold my beer” in a case of outdoing each other in obnoxiousness. Just loaded a site that flooded my office with a cacophony of raucousness reminiscent of the Tower of Babble. About 1 second in, I no longer cared, much less remembered, what I opened the page to read. Closed it and moved on, as is my policy.
So, again my webdevy chums, I know you folks need to capitalize on your work. I get it. But don’t render your site useless in either blinding greed or desperation.
Another dose of outrage
Another evening
I’ve had my fill of outrage
Time to go to bed
