Now Update - 2025-09-22

Life has remained busy since I last wrote. Between family vacations, I turned 34 at the beginning of the month and released the MVP of my first app. It’s felt good though, as I’m finally making continued progress on my goals again.

Learning & Projects

After the last update, I released Perspective Pixels to the App Store. Since releasing it, I’ve mostly been working on wrapping up some new features I still want to add. I have a shortlist of items I’m hoping to wrap up soon, so I can start working on another project next month. Outside of the vacations, I’ve become a bit more consistant with coding most days, even if it’s for a short time. Generally, I feel happier and more productive during the rest of the day when I am able to sit down and focus on some code first.

I’ve continued digging into my doom emacs configuration, although luckily the tweaking has slowed down a bit. I have also been playing around with nixOS again, expanding my home-manager flake configuration to additionally manage a few nixOS systems. I must say, the combination of diving back into emacs and nixOS at the same time really has me eyeing up Guix 😅.

Home

For home life, we’ve had a few vacations, added soccer to the list of weekly activities for my 3 year old, and my wife and I attended a few shows/concerts including a blink-182 concert during my birthday week. Lots of fun.

On the gardening front, we’ve mostly been letting it do its thing without much intervention. Most of it is starting to die off, as we’re nearing the end of the season, but it was a great experimental year.

Looking at the family calendar, the rest of the year looks just as busy, but it’s all good. I’m enjoying the activity.

Books

I returned to my reading habit over the last month or so, and finished off several partially-read books. Currently, I’m working my way through the MacStories.net OS reviews before starting my next book.
