Gearing up for my next full-stack project, I decided to put my #RaspberryPi to the task. I’ve been wanting to make use of it for a while now and decided it would be fun to build a server and self-host my apps! The cooling fan is now installed, and I’m about to pick a Linux distro! #PiServer #Linux

I got the chance to chat with Kelsey Hightower last week! He's one of the most insightful individuals I've had the pleasure to speak with and was kind enough to set aside time to discuss topics related to life and being a software engineer. One of the highlights of my week! #100devs #RenderATL

@renderatl.com was an absolute blast, and I added a few new members to the Rubber Duck Conclave at home on my desk!

I think they're secretly plotting to take over…

A wiser and smarter human than myself recently said, we should strive to start each day with no less than 3 affirmations. #100devs
An image of a quote regarding daily affirmations that reads: Recognition of Self - Understanding that you have intrinsic value and worth, both to yourself and to others. Belief in Self - Wholeheartedly accepting the above facts about yourself favorably, and with kindness. Efficacy of Self - Choosing to face each day with intent, and the belief that as long you put forth the effort, as long as you continue to show up, you can never truly fail.

If you see this, post a mountain picture...

Sunset. Lake Wakatipu, New Zealand, 2010.
Sunset behind the mountains overlooking Lake Wakatipu, New Zealand. Long white clouds stretch out in front of the peaks, and the sky is filled with a golden-orange color, vibrantly illuminated by the light of the setting sun.
