i am ski

I follow many YouTube channels from creative types, mostly in the electronic music space.

Yup.

Yeah, it's been awhile.

Happy New Year everyone!

I'm going to ignore the state of the world here at the end of 2021 (or maybe it's just 2020, Part 2), and instead focus on my own personal wrap up of the year, akin to what Spotify does with their 2021 Wrapped.

In my last post I mentioned the need to send my 2015 MacBook Pro back to Apple to have the battery replaced.

I was mentioning to the wife last week that our old pine dining room table could use a sanding, as it seemed the spot I had the MacBook Pro was a little uneven.

I've been wanting to write, to play music, to create, to do something that I can look at and go "Wow, I made that.

It’s Memorial Day weekend here in the States, and though it may have been one of the coldest, dreariest Memorial Day weekends ever, it was significant in that it was the first time in forever since we’d hosted people for a BBQ and game night at our house,…

A year ago today, I started working remotely full time.

John Hopkins reports that the US has passed 400,000 deaths as of this third week of January.

I have an odd fascination with how people get the job done.

I’m going to set myself a goal for this month: to actually finish something.

It’s 7:53am on a Saturday morning.

The last several posts have all referenced my struggles to get i-am.ski up and running in a manner that I was striving for; namely, to be able to update this site using just my iPad Pro in the simplest manner possible.

After ignoring the site (once again) for awhile, I took another stab at getting my personal domain hooked up with the Custom Domain feature that’s available in Github Pages.

It's finally starting to come back together.

Once again, testing to see if I can figure out an ipad solution.

After a failed update and a couple of months of apathy, I'm finally back to having my site looking how I want.

I think the end goal that I have in mind for this website — aside from the obviousness of blogging — is to be able to update from wherever I am.

I'm not having as much luck as I'd hope getting an iPad-only solution to posting entries here.

In one of my previous entries, I mentioned that I have a hard time getting better than proficient at something: one of my bigger shortcomings -- at least in my eyes ( and if you think there are other, bigger ones, please keep it to yourself, thank you very

It's gotten busy at work.

I'm not a fan of the "Open Office" concept.

There's a plethora of JavaScript books available for those who learn best by reading.

In a previous post , I mentioned that I had installed Ghost "just because".

No, not the old sitcom.

I've been poking at the site recently, updating the templates and sprucing them up a bit, as it were.

Now that it appears the website issues are back under control, I can move on with more Javascript practice.

Here I was, all excited about getting a new blog underway, with a new CMS to practice with, and of course, I blow it up within a day.

I'm between projects at work, and there's only so much reddit I can peruse.

I'm not sure I could tell you how many blogs I've started over the years.

Editor’s Note: This was originally posted on facebook, but to try and have this blog be the “source of truth”, I’m tracking down the important posts and posting them here on the corresponding date they were originally published.

I’ve talked before about lack of motivation and how actually trying to finish a project seems to defeat me every time.

Updating here has come pretty much to a standstill, but I’m hoping to remedy that soon.

I think my desire to post here waxes and wanes... but more waning lately than waxing.

I hate car shopping.

For a change it felt like I had a somewhat productive weekend.

It’s entirely too nice to be sitting inside, in my drab corporate cube, staring at this screen.

As I alluded to in the previous post, Sarah had her All-Star soccer tournament this weekend.

Since my last post describing how I was getting into Drupal, I’ve worked on it a total of once.

I’ve been working on a new site, and I decided to build it using Drupal.

It will be during the dog days of summer that I’ll recall mornings like today’s with fondness.

Along with iTunes 5 and the new iPod Nano, Apple has also recently released (Actually, I don't know when this came out, I just found it today) a limited edition Harry Potter iPod.

It's been awhile..seems if my personal site is down, I can't write here.

My brother has a mac at his desk at work, and has been getting acclimated to it, slowly but surely.

If any of my neighbors looked out their windows around supper time last night, they might have seen my wife leaving my house...in the back of a cop car.

A simple "hello world" in html shouldn't be a big deal.

So Pepsi and Apple are doing the iTunes music giveaway again.
