Just spent almost 2 hours correcting an AI transcript of a 47 minute interview. This is about 1/3 of the time it would have taken me to transcribe it on my own. And yet I’m worn out from it anyway. My current rate of productivity is 1 major research task per day.

Today’s bio update: replaced “Mom & Scholar-Librarian” with “Mom. Learner. Infomancer. Editrix. Webhead.”

Today’s #100DaysOfCode progress: started freeCodeCamp’s Applied Visual Design challenges. Too headachey/tired to reflect much now, but happy with my progress.

Today’s #100DaysOfCode Progress:

I completed all of the Basic CSS challenges at freeCodeCamp.

I’ve started compiling a list of organizations for women in coding, with a special focus on moms who code.

I started listening to Command Line Heroes. Their latest episode is about the Dreamcast, which made it really easy for me to get interested. I like the style of the show. It’s that kind of high quality reported podcast that brings me joy. Like if The Double Shift were about technology.

Having another go at #100DaysofCode, because nobody ever said, “I sure wish my employee didn’t know how to code.”

Took my kid for a drive this morning, just to do something different and because we were cleaning out my car and he asked. There was this one stretch of road we were driving down and I almost felt normal in that moment.

“We want the human relationship with nature to be based on abundance, a relationship that encourages us to participate in the resilience, the restoration, and the reciprocal relationship that we need to have with nature.” - Barton Seaver, quoted in Blue Mind by Wallace J. Nichols

My kid insists that Darkwing Duck’s sidekick is named Lunchpack, and it’s adorable.

Today we went for a family walk and from a distance we saw a neighbor family walking their pig, and it was the best thing that has happened in a while.

Me: Hm, this is a lot of pain from this flare, whatever its origin. I think I’ll just watch Star Trek: The Next Generation until I feel better.
