I'm going to read more about Transcendental Meditation. I keep meaning to start meditating, but never have the time (or rather don't prioritize it highly enough to make the time).

Waiting too long to quit a particular job and start contracting. I was in a job I didn't enjoy, working for people I didn't click with. I work in game development and took this unrelated job on after the first games company I work

I've been on a low carb - keto diet for over a year. I didn't do it to lose weight, since I'm already underweight if you care about BMI. I did it for general health reasons. It's been pretty great. I feel that I can eat

Probably not as interesting as the others here but I have a blog where I write about my snail simulation (and in the past other hobby projects). Not all posts contain code but many do, especially in the 'dev' category: http:&#x2F
