20 Years of Programming

I’m not sure of the exact date, but 20 years ago, around now, I started my first professional programming job. It’s weird to think about having done anything for 20 years. That’s as long as all my schooling put together.

A Day in the Life of an American in London

As an American living in the UK, I often have people ask me how life here differs from in the US, and it’s a hard question to answer. On the one hand, things are pretty much the same whether you’re living in New York or London, but on the other hand, there are hundreds of tiny differences that can be confusing or annoying. So, I decided to pay attention one day and write down all the differences I could notice, no matter how small, over the course of one day (specifically, Monday, March 12, 2018). I’ve presented it in chronological order so you can get an idea of what it’s like to live a day in London as an American.

Finishing a Collection

A long-standing goal of mine since moving to New York has been to see a show in every Broadway theater (there are 40 in total). One of the very first things I put on this site was a page to track the shows I’ve seen and their theaters. When I first put it up, it probably had 10 or 12 shows, and now it has more than 140. As I write this, every theater but one has been visited, and that one will probably be done in the next couple weeks. It’s been an interesting process.

New Year's Resolutions - 2015

When I was younger, I thought New Year’s resolutions were unnecessary at best. After all, one can resolve to improve one’s life at any point in the year, so why create a special time for it?
