When I was in the Peace Corps in North Macedonia, I experienced culture shock and felt a sense of alienation. I wasn’t feeling very creative at all. I mentioned this to a friend in a nearby town. She said the most important eleven words to me.

If there's a banana that's duct-taped to a wall, would you eat it? What if it was considered a piece of art?

"I will learn something incredible in the next 24 hours."
The anticipation of learning something incredible will keep your mind curious throughout the day.

I came back from speaking at @renderatl.com energized and full of ideas. The byproduct of a few months development in my free time and some writing, I learned how to create an Astro.js blog, host it with Github pages, and point it at a custom domain. Start your journey.

I was asked how I prep my homegrown potatoes. The answer is: simply. 1. Cut into small nickel sized chunks. 2. Coat in tiny amount of olive oil. 3. Season medium heavily (I like Trader Joe’s Everyday Seasoning). 4. Air fry for 25-30 minutes until fork ready. 5. Eat

Not only did I have the opportunity to speak at #renderatl but I was able to point at pictures of myself in the Intuit sponsored spaces. It was surreal to walk into pictures of myself, to say the least.
