I’m going to start posting here more often. My goal is once a week.

This might result in some low quality spammy posts while I learn how to write weekly better, but I think will help me out in the long run. It’s not like anyone reads whatever I post here anyways.

Today I went to the farmers market and bought some plant starters. I’ve always wanted to learn how to garden but have never put in the time. I think that growing things I want to eat will be a good motivator, so I bought some peppers.

I put them in the ground right after getting home, it was a lot less work than I thought it would be and very satisfying to do. I think it’s important for computer people especially to do things with their hands, it’s one of the reasons I like 3d printing. Holding something in the real world that I made gives me a feeling of accomplishment that code can’t.

I am excited to water, weed, and eventually eat my tasty peppers. I planted them an hour ago and already think of them as my kids.

See you next week, go plant something!
