#theGalley been cooking my own breakfast more lately. Two eggs, a roll, gochujang, ketchup.

It is proven! I am icco on Keybase: https://keybase.io/icco/sigchain#ba1fb549e114e0eeffa6432df09f361a578947fea12b1f80a888119479c42dfe0f

I've been working from home, NYC is mostly closed now. I did some volunteer work on projectbaseline.com over the weekend, which helped me channel my anxiety.

Three projects that I'm working on this week to stay positive:
- walls.natwelch.com : building a tool to keep this synced across my workstations now that I've moved off of Dropbox.
- etu.natwelch.com : Restart my work on my time tracker
- Running a D&D campaign on Discord for my friends.

@thomasorus I used to use https://github.com/ImageOptim/ImageOptim. These days I pay for an imgix subscription to do it all automatically post upload. I actually run a free image upload service https://photos.natwelch.com which lets you upload photos and get free imgix urls. I use the API for it to post images with my blog posts.

Currently in Costa Rica. Came here for a vacation, but depression is keeping me from being able to stay happy or motivated.

That being said, my brain is working and more creative than it has been in a while. It just seems near impossible to put anything to paper.

@neauoire cool idea!

@cblgh one of the greatest essential mixes of all time.

I've been churning through the Expanse book series lately. On book 7 now, and I love the twists and different styles this series keeps dropping in. Impressive the authors have kept it at this quality for so long.

@aadil woofta, that's a bit steep for a single user.

@grainloom totally. I have something similar built in JavaScript and Go. I'm more interested to see more products built this way, see how it changes how folks store information.

https://www.nateliason.com/blog/roam this seems quite heavy weight, but an interesting tool to look at for all of those folks building their own journaling systems.

I like this a lot. Whenever I get rejected by smaller companies, I wish I had the oportunity to show them more of who I am before they reject me based off of a PDF.

I have trouble keeping habits up, but my theory is that if I track them better, I'll keep them more consistently. Does that match with your experiences?

@tomasteck What kind of art class are you taking? I've been thinking of taking a drawing class and am kind of afraid of this exact feeling.

#theWorkshop got my blog sitemap and rss feed back.
