2032: Jared Blenking commits self-immolation while carrying the Olympic torch to protest the Olympic checkerboard board is green and white. #writing #olympics

Never argue with anyone looking for an argument. The trick is knowing when an argument is about to happen. #life

One major benefit of the Olympics, that no one talks about, is that people get to travel outside their own country and see the world outside their preconceptions. #travel #life #olympics

Anyone looking forward to Monday?

“Toe-Fu”: n. - Martial art of using only the toes where the smelliest ones win.

What you allow into your life is what you like and enjoy. It’s a filter that ignores what is ,in favor of what you want. It’s easy because it doesn’t challenge or expand. You become what you believe, not what you could be. #life #failure

Using a Iibrary/package that someone else wrote does not mean you are writing clean code. A book I’m reading says you should use libraries to write clean code… Simple ~= != clean #programming #cleancode

Think of 10 things you are grateful for. Now, stop complaining. #life

Gamification is highly underrated and underutilized. It’s not enough to “be the best” or “do the most”. Not everyone is in it for the goal. #gamification #failure #productivity

I’ll still use NaNoWriMo in November, but I won’t actively support them. #writing #nanowrimo #failure

There should be an an alternative to the NaNoWriMo site. It shouldn’t be hard to set up and maintain as long as you don’t intend to make money off of it. #nanowrimo #writing #failure

NaNoWriMo site got rid of the usual things such as getting a user’s page through the URL. Everything seems locked behind the login screen now. The API (such as it was) is long gone. The forums are a mess. Sad. It seems the NaNoWriMo team isn’t interested in promoting writers. #nanowrimo #failure

I think I need a burger today.

Good morning. I’m back home. Time for the ceremonial coffee.

Take your time this week. Savor living. #life

The greatest power we can wield is acceptance through forgiveness. #life #success

More editing done. It’s time for a break.
