Weekly review: Week ending April 3, 2015

Posted: - Modified: | review, weekly

This was a good week for improving and applying skills, collecting ideas, and reflecting. I finally sewed the box cushion covers that have been on my to-do list since 2009 or so. Mwahaha! I also learned how to use the laser cutter at Hacklab, so I've been plotting ways to use that to make life better (following up on the ideas we heard from Bruce Sterling's talk at SXSW on open source luxury and tech in the home). I've been thinking about what I might want to do for my fifth year of this experiment with semi-retirement, so I'm collecting ideas, skills, and people. So, lots of reflection this week, which is good.

I also experimented with a private yoga session. It was a lot more expensive than a group class, but I picked up useful feedback and personalized exercises to work on. I'll see if I can build a habit of doing those things at home over the next month. So far, so good.

I slept a lot this week, which was rather odd. Oh well, that's life. Still got a lot done, though!

Next week, I'm looking forward to:

  • more yoga
  • recording another Emacs video with John Wiegley
  • more reflections
  • more time with friends
  • and more awesomeness!
