Back to work.
2024 will be great. I wrote down some thoughts on how 2023 was - https://adamchandler.me/blog/2023/12/24/life-2023-was-a-good-year/
Breakfast.
My wife, equipped with the Leica Q2 continues to do amazing things.
It's Christmas Eve. WOOT.
It’s my wife and my 10th anniversary today.
Left Charlotte right after my meeting at 6PM. It’s 8AM and we’re in upstate New York. Just in time for my to sign on to work from the truck’s wifi. 3 hours to our house in New Hampshire.
Approaching final day of work for the year. It's almost been 4 years since COVID-19 began for most of the world.
"Last week, Halley’s comet reached its farthest point away from the Sun and has begun its journey back towards the center of our solar sytem. The comet last visited us in 1986 and will come again in 2061.” This just gave me an existential crisis. I was born in 1986 and have lived exactly half …
Phew. Passed my PgMP exam. Two major certs in a year has me pooped.
also, I'd respond to the author, but that requires creating an account on Medium. sigh.
"The one that existed before terms of service. The one that existed before social graphs. The one where being a User meant having a degree of respect, not being treated like a retention/churn statistic.” Me too, including a screenshot from the blog I lifted this quote with a huge banner …
Cute kid.
This arrived.
Sadly, none of my size 38 jeans fit anymore. I guess that's a good thing.
Hit 236 pounds today. Started around 270. Funny enough, i don't feel any different. Maybe that's just because I'm old. I could stand to lose about 30 more pounds and at this rate, that's 30-ish weeks of more treatment.
@kolin they were right. You’re gonna get buried alive at some point and it’s going to be awesome.
@kolin did it snow, yet?
@mjtsai also, Eddie cue when unveiling the modern Appletv OS said the future of TV is apps. He was right but Apple has chosen to put all of their video into one app. This is user hostile. If you dislike soccer, sports, TV+ and just want to watch a TV show you own from iTunes, you have only one place …
if anyone forgot, Make Something Wonderful (the collection of Steve Jobs' texts and photos) has plummeted in value on eBay. You can pickup a copy for around $200 or less.
Winding down on medical care for the year and I asked my insurance company what the damage is. $69,900 is how much care was billed. Insurance only paid out $35,603. My out of pocket was $1464 USD. That's before the $90 per pay period (90*26 = $2340) in co-insurance premium work collects.The only …
Busy week. Spending 40 hours in a classroom studying the details of program management. I took the PgMP practice exam on Saturday and scored a 50/100. 70 is required to pass. After this boot camp and one more week of studying, I think I have this.
But I’m happy to have found Mounjaro because it’s helped me lose 20 pounds in 20 weeks, something that wasn’t happening with diet & exercis alone due to being possibly insulin resistant without having any blood work that backs that up?
Weight loss update. Down 20 pounds in 2023. I didn’t lose any weight until I started taking Mounjaro in September. I didn’t change anything about my calorie intake (1350 a day all of 2023 is my average) or my fitness level (20 minutes of fitness per day) so Mounjaro is definitely my saving grace. …
