Porchlight Haiku

The light has faded
I see my breath by porch light
The song of raindrops

A cool, drearily rainy end to the day. Chilled into discomfort, but not pain, only the mildest of inconveniences. But December approaches quickly, even though we still have trees with leaves on them.

Adept: A Haiku

My response to today’s Fandango’s Word Of The Day Challenge. Today’s word: adept.

words flow from keystrokes
there are times I feel adept
rain cools my ego

A Little Joyful Noise For Your Saturday

This baby’s joyful laughter delighted greatly. I hope it brings you delight as well.

Saturday Morning Poem

Beginnings
Filled with potential
Sunny morning dreams

A Friday Haiku

amongst fallen leaves
mushrooms sneak their way skyward
finches hunt for food

Friday Evening

The sun descending
Western mountains afire
Reaching for my dreams

It’s been a frenetic week, but productively so.

Windows Programmer Calculator

Windows Programmer Calculator

It may be because I’m still pretty new at this whole programming/coding thing, but I was pretty stoked to discover this feature within the built-in calculator that comes with Windows 10 (it might be part of older versions of Windows. I just don’t know). I’ve built Excel sheets for these conversions to check my work. This is actually easier and less clunky. Sure, I can do these manually, and I’m getting better at doing so in my head, but it’s good to have the ability to check my work easily.

Along with this, a friend of mine let me know about HiPer Calculator for Android phones.  I look forward to trying it out. I downloaded the free version, but there is a “Pro” version for $3.49. I’ll see how the free one works. Trying to be frugal and all that.

Do you have any tools that you love and recommend to an up-and-coming developer? I’d really love to hear about them. Leave a comment!

 

Autumn

A autumn haiku

autumn progresses
but the trees are not yet bare
this briskly cold morn

I took this photo while out on my walk yesterday. My fondness for autumn soothes me in these angry times.

An Evening Haiku

Moving through the night

The silence surrounding me

And leaves under foot

Ensnaring The Light

a moment in time
amazing autumn moment
ensnared by the light
