Books:

Jan. 9: How We Learn to Move is changing my entire thinking on athletic training. I picked it up because people I follow in jiujitsu were talking about it, and it's fascinating, approachable and immediately applicable. Has me going down a rabbit hole on ecological dynamics.

Feb. 28: The Art of Learning is a good memoir. I'm not sure it's a replicable model, but it has some interesting ideas.

May 28: I took a long time to meander through News of the World, but I enjoyed every word of it. The book and the movie are just different enough to both be worth the time.

June 26: Tomorrow and Tomorrow and Tomorrow is likely to be the book I'm telling everyone to read for the next year, in the way The Lincoln Highway has been (and still is). Beautiful writing and great characters.

June 30: I think I've read enough of The Rust Book to mark that one done. I need to find some projects to do in Rust now.

Dec. 28: Finished Children of Dune. I think I need to complete the series now. Things are going to get weird.

January 1: Beans for New Years!

April 18: Made a version of this Portuguese stew from Rancho Gordo. Pretty solid.

May 21: Smoked/grilled the hot and fast chicken from Virtual Weber Bullet. Turned out great. Maybe could've used less charcoal.

May 29: Smoked spare ribs, doing roughly 3-2-1.

June 25: Got a wok for my birthday and made eggs in it, which is more a test of seasoning than a recipe. Also made broccoli pasta. Very excited to cook more in this thing.

July 6: Made the Thai chicken with basil from The Wok. Probably could do it better, but came out plenty good.

Built a little podcast utility in about an hour on the 4th of July: https://github.com/eyeseast/podcasts. Will see if it's useful to anyone tomorrow.
