初めて香港に行きます。今はANAラウンジに飛行機に乗るのを待ってます。ANAラウンジは僕がよく時間を過ぎたUnitedのラウンジよりかなり優れている。朝ごはんを食べ過ぎた。

キンドルが入ったVocabulary Builderというのは読書者が調べた言葉を表で保存する機能です。私はよく本を読むときにわからない言葉を調べたかと思うとすぐ忘れっちょうからそこで復習できます。練習方法を決めって定着させればいいと思います。

私がやりたいことが多くて気が遠くなるよね。日本語の勉強や自分のビジネスの構築や作りたいアップリなど。むかしからそういう状態で何も始められないと感じられる。一方ずつ迎えへしています。

今日もずっとアップをやってました。全然進まない感じですが。

Finally got around to renewing my cert, changing my domain name and fixing some other DNS related stuff. I am bored with this blog; it's time to move it to drupal 8 or flask or wp or wix. I might be kidding about some of those. I really do have things to say, it's a shame I also enjoy monkeying with the site just as much.

It's never a dull day.

I am obsessed with the Byzantine Empire. I want to go to Ravenna to see the mosaics of Justinian. To see the Hagia Sophia. To visit the palace of Diocletian in Croatia. Even more, knowing and understanding the daily life and drama of the Eastern Roman Empire is even more interesting. They fought wars with Persia, Arabs, Barbarians, destroyed the Vandals, ruined the Goths. While the dark ages reverted Western Europe to the barter system, the Byzantines flourished. I'm not sure why, but I feel a kinship with them. When I have a rough day, I think of the trials of Belisarius, and feel better. What?!?

My refrigerator is full of mustard greens, cabbage, lettuce, salad turnips. I'm becoming a true San Franciscan. Now my goal is to eat this stuff as fast as possible, lest it go bad. I had to throw out a few things, but I will say, I cooked more vegetables than I ever have last box.

It's the first meetup of the year; I am going big (think dance party) and the crowd looks to be large. If the typical rate of 50% rsvps actually attending shows up, it will be the biggest yet. I have organized this year fairly well, and have some great companies to host. I need to keep the speaker train rolling, and it looks to be a good year. Running a meetup. Me. Bizarro.

I am going to my first regular vinyasa class tonight, after sticking to the more basic classes. Well, to be honest, I ended up in the wrong classes a few times and got my ass handed to me. I am no longer the worst in my gender group, and sometimes no longer the worst in the coed category (neither really exist, except in my head). It's fun, hard, and I feel good afterwards.

Timeboxing sometimes seems the enemy of Getting Shit Done, especially when unknowns and risk is high. Somethings take as long as they take. Another compounding problem is that highly exploratory tasks expend much more mental energy. Put both together and you have what I have currently with this website. A desire to take a meager week-long stab at updating it, that got derailed when I broke the shit out of it changing the domain name. I have a goal (update daily with a thoughtful but short blog entry) that was replace by digging around for a solution, being frustrated by my inability to resolve it, generating these wondrous fireworks of feelings of inadequacy, anger, and pressure to manage all of my tasks, goals, and obligations. I forgot what I intended to write about, instead we have this play-by-play of my morning chaos. To make things really interesting, let's also start thinking of my week's workload on this holiday that I am spending "resting and recovering."
