Jalapeños!
Kav’s raised beds are going crazy and I am unreasonably excited about the jalapeño peppers that are on the way.

Running in Istanbul
Travel running might be my favorite thing about traveling. Seeing a place waking up at 6:30am while weaving through unknown areas is not for everyone, I guess (my wife especially would not be keen), but I love it.

The Sun Never Sets on A8C Relay X
Today we had our semi-annual relay at my all-remote workplace (Automattic).

What you are aware of
“What you are aware of, you are in control of, what your are not aware of is in control of you.” Awareness by Anthony De Mello. This is a line from Awareness (one of the very few books I reread annually and have posted about before) that I’ve been coming back to again and again…
