Hello, fellow tinkerer π - Happy Friday. It's the tail-end of a holiday week here in the U.S. I took the week off from client work and did some traveling with my fam. Taking part of next week off also. No matter if you work for an employer or work for yourself, I highly recommend giving yourself at least one "recovery day" to get caught up on life stuff before resuming work. This week, I have something a bit different for the newsletter. I started writing down a bunch of tips for travel / summer and couldn't narrow it down into my regular newsletter format! So rather than save the ideas for future issues, I'm giving you the whole list. Enjoy!
β That's it for this issue of Tinkering! See you again in two weeks.

It's a ghastly system. 1) Reflection: Have you heard of vibe coding at all? Vibe coding uses AI and lets people build apps β...
βItβs income tax time again, Americans: time to gather up those receipts, get out those tax forms, sharpen up that pencil, and stab yourself in the aorta.β - Dave Barry Hello, fellow tinkerers! π End of Q1. Tax deadlines looming in the U.S. What a time, huh? 1) Reflection: Last year, I started thinking about goals differently. Instead of tracking anything on an annual basis, I started setting quarterly goals. Like "What do I want to get done this quarter?" (and tracked my progress in Notion)....
Hello, fellow tinkerer π Happy Wednesday. I'm writing this while in a coffee shop. My oldest, who is in high school, has a "student support day" at school, which includes only an hour of class and then no school for the rest of the day.
