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

A PNW Morning

sunrise climbing clouds
fires of life stretching westward
my dreams still speaking

Created with Adobe Spark.

A Blustery Day

sprinting clouds move past
trees bow, respecting the wind
leaves racing downwards

My Haiku Contribution to the Fandango Word of the Day Challenge

Hope

This poem is my contribution to the Fandango Word of the Day Challenge, “outcome”.

in this time of rage
I seek an outcome of hope
living gracefully

Wednesday Morning

dawn moves through the clouds
hope ripples through the puddles
tea’s steam awakens

A Seattle autumn morning, rainy and cool. Strange senses of home.
