less foggy, more forward-y

tonight was a decent little victory lap. i finished the rest of freeCodeCamp’s User Interface Design Fundamentals, and tomorrow i’m stepping into the first stretch of User-Centered Design. the brain is clocking out, but the momentum is still doing laps around the block like it pays rent. Empty Apartment Satellite-Parking Lot on a Cold, Brisk Night i also got a bunch of real-life nonsense handled, which is always suspiciously satisfying. room cleaning and rearranging got knocked down a […]

pause unpaused. postcard is live. pause again. then, back to it!

glad i took another break after shipping the blog postcard. it’s live now! which still feels good every time i say it out loud. i posted the screenshot, linked it back to the postcard, and let the whole thing close the loop properly and all. right now, i’m just stepping away for a minute. gonna go on a walk, bounce my racquetball around, and keep my hand coordination alive while the rest of me cools off. little things like that matter more than they look like they should. they keep me […]

the postcard is still alive (but not live yet), the lessons were easier than expected, and i’m still moving [and alive]

today is turning into one of those days where the work is moving slower than the thoughts, but that’s not the same thing as falling behind. i’ve already pushed through the first chunk of fCC theory and quizzes, and honestly the first three lessons were easier than i expected; that felt good! not in some dramatic, life-changing way, just in that quiet little “oh, i’m actually getting this” kind of way that makes the rest of the day feel a little more possible. right now, i’m on […]

the view got wider, and so did the build lately

something has shifted in the way i’m moving through my own mind.for a while, i thought i was getting more focused. more disciplined. more locked in. but i’m starting to realize that what i called focus was sometimes just tunnel vision wearing a serious face. it looked productive from the inside because i was staring hard at one thing. but staring hard is not the same as seeing clearly. now the view feels broader; it palatial. i’m noticing more — the edges, the peripheries, the stuff […]

week 3 day 6→7: i did the lab and i’m pausing

tonight i: finished the freeCodeCamp styling lists & links lectures built the fCC stylized to-do list lab took long walks at a leisurely paces as my PomoGuerzo breaks did some “room cleaning” as a separate activity than “breaks”, because i believe that having them as a combined activity previously was really draining me, and honestly, doing it this way seems a lot better stopped before i got cooked. Being more hyperware of my state of being and my state of energy level plus state […]

I’m learning Web Dev. Here ‘s How I’m Doing It.

So. I'm doing this. I've been circling the idea of learning web development for longer than I'd like to admit. I had a whole Geocities phase back in the day — custom layouts, blinking text, the works — and somewhere between then and now I lost the thread. This is me picking it back up. Starting May 7, 2026, I committed to a self-administered 16-week web development bootcamp. No institution, no tuition, no cohort. Just me, a structured curriculum I built myself, a MacBook Air M4, and a […]
