Ninety-four Photos of January in SF
The dry weather has also been warm and without fog, and I’ve tried to enjoy it by going on long walks and short bike rides.
I’ve mostly been inside the apartment in a room I call Skunkworks HQ. Doubling down on my personal and hopefully career-switching projects hasn’t paid off yet, but I hope that it will soon. That’s the closest I will get to a 2014 resolution.
Working from home has its ups and downs. There is no commute, but also no human contact. There is plenty of time to do whatever, and much of it ends up getting squandered.
I’m enjoying the results of my effort. It feels good to care about making something again.

February will likely be more of the same, but an exiting trip begins at the end.
The travel bug has laid eggs under my skin, and they are starting to itch. Only an international trip will provide a strong enough scratch. But as soon as I start scratching, it just itches more.
My mind just did a visual wildfire jig
