I have 15 million ideas brewing but haven’t acted on most of them and am wondering how long they’ll be around. maybe something about having a dog with cancer, the summer heat, the political environment, the misinformation, the competition of who is best at AI in the workplace, all the bad AI content, or the numerous other things in the world has me really wanting to hold onto something tangible and make something enjoyable. for myself. mostly offline (or at least off social media). in my house. and honestly, I’m thankful for feeling something/anything in this year that’s not just anxiety and dread. creativity! where ya been!
2026 creative pursuits

honorable mention(s)
-built web apps using VS Code to learn AI design/dev evolution first-hand // it’s actually been nice to feel like I’m (kind of :eye roll emoji:) coding again. at least having an idea & then troubleshooting and refining in code. (and yo I’ve never claimed to be a dev anyway, but I could build a mad HTML website back in my day, and was really skilled at livejournal CSS, and definitely used some SQL & HTML in my marketing automation yrs/)
-daydreaming about NM:BCC (veg burrito & coffee cart that will always be my fallback plan)
