Books

Jan. 31: Simple & Sinister is the first book I've read on weightlifting of any kind. Bought myself a 16 kg kettlebell and planning on trying it for a bit.

Feb. 21: American Spy was sort of fun, but it took its time getting to the action and then ended without a real resolution.

I've gotten a pretty good handle on self-hosted maps, which I've been thinking about since last year. Presenting that at NICAR in a couple weeks. Counting that as a side project even thought I've made it a work thing (which might make it the best kind of side project).

Presented this at NICAR 2024 and people seemed to like it. Feeling pretty good about this stack now.
