I watched “Kedi” a few years ago. Now, my 2 and 3 year olds remind me weekly they need to see what the kitties are up to. This is also why we have 9 cats. Go figure. I’m glad my kids respect the cats and let them all integrate into outlives

TBH, I value Brain.fm as a productive part of my work day. Some days it helps focus on the endless housework and kid needs. Other days it helps focus while coding. As a polyphasic sleeper less than 2 mins of quiet relaxing music puts me to

I worked on the original eBird team back in the early 2000's. Seeing this post brought back so many memories of working very closely together on a small person team. At the time eBird was only a handful of people. The Lab of Ornitholo

QuantInsti offers a course that is really in-depth. It’s like 4 months. All video based with live instructors, practice and tests. It’s worth the money IMHO. Ernest Chan has written several books. He also offers live courses. He is one cool

I sleep about 2 hours (say 2:30am - 4:30am) and I want a 1 hour nap when my kids go down for a nap. It's not a standard pattern that you might read about, IIRC.

I have a 1yr old and a 2yr old. I definitely struggle to find a balance some days because the kids are super needy and I always want to go heads down at my job. Perhaps if I worked out of the house I may be writing something different now.
