Year 50 Day 22

by

Me standing on a back deck, with several windchimes hanging from the deck roof, and lots of green trees in the background.

Day 22: The trees were one of the reasons we bought this place. We’re in the city and close to the things we want to do, but can also enjoy sitting on our back deck and watching squirrels, crows, hummingbirds, and the sun through the leaves.

📚 The Weight of Worlds by Greg Cox

28/2023 – ⭐️⭐️⭐️

Kirk and Spock travel to another universe as the Enterprise crew try to counter an invasion by aliens on a religious crusade. The alien’s religion didn’t really make sense to me, their gravity-controlling weapons seemed to work mostly as required by the plot, and Cox’s referential style is as present as ever. (I feel like I harp on this, mentioning it in every review of one of his books, but it really stands out every time. He’s not a bad writer at all, he just has this stylistic quirk that likely doesn’t stick out nearly as much to some people as much as it does to me.) Not a bad adventure, but not top-tier, either.

Year 50 Day 20

by

Me kicked back on a dark grey couch with light grey and orange pillows behind me. On my lap is an Apple Macbook Air with a number of stickers on the lid.

Day 20: How you’d usually find me on weeknight evenings (if you broke into my house, which would be creepy and unappreciated): kicked back on the couch as we watch TV after dinner, sometimes paying attention to what we’re watching, sometimes puttering with one project or another on my computer.

Year 50 Day 19

by

Me standing in front of a wooden fence, next to a metal birdbath and several freshly updated planters and flowerpots.

Day 19: A nice morning working in the backyard (which for me, primarily consists of following my wife’s instructions), refreshing the planters and flowerpots, cleaning off the outdoor furniture, and generally getting it prepped for summer.

Year 50 Day 16

by

Me standing outside wearing a grey cap and black short-sleeve button-up shirt with a floral pattern on the right half. Behind me is the college campus.

Day 16: Gave two presentations today for Global Accessibility Awareness Day. The first was on basic document accessibility concepts and techniques; the second was on how to caption videos using the college’s tools. Both went well, and I have some good ideas and tips on how to improve them for future presentations.

Year 50 Day 15

by

Me, visible from the shoulders up, not wearing a shirt, leaning against a pillow in bed, with a bemused expression on my face.

Day 15: Realized after getting into bed that I hadn’t done my daily photo yet (it’s likely this may not be the last time this happens over the course of the coming year). My wife is now mocking me for posting nudie pictures online.
