<p>I did agency work for a while. One of our clients around 2010 was the US Holocaust museum here in DC. They had stumbled on a trove of pictures of orphaned children and needed help identifying them. We built a site to display them and integrated a handful of carefully selected social networks including Polish network Nasza Klasa. The idea was that people could share these photos and through the network effect, the museum would be able to find, tell, and archive the stories of these children. I was skeptical that anything would come of it but almost immediately, the site started getting results like "that's my father" or even "that's me". It still amazes me.<p>Looks like the site is miraculously still up though the Cufon is looking a little rough these days: <a href="https://rememberme.ushmm.org/" rel="nofollow">https://rememberme.ushmm.org/</a></p>

<p>My gig has been doing 4-day x 8hour work weeks since long before I started. We have Wednesdays off which is a bit unusual but means I never work more than two days in a row (unless I want to swap a Wednesday for a Friday). It's pretty great.</p>

<p>I got a white noise machine recently and it has been an absolute game-changer. I live in a pretty dense city and with warmer weather, neighbors have been spending more time hanging out outside. Their noise into the wee hours was keeping me up and preventing me from sleeping or enjoying open windows. I put the white noise machine next to my bed, set the thing on full blast, and have been sleeping through the night peacefully. Probably one of the better $50 spends I've made recently.<p>I'm not sure if your problem is noise or what but I'd wager that a machine like this could be helpful in a plethora of situations. It's just pretty calming.<p><a href="https://yogasleep.com/products/dohmclassic" rel="nofollow">https://yogasleep.com/products/dohmclassic</a></p>

<p>We've been doing this (4day x 8hr) at Monograph (monograph.com) for much longer than I've been at the company. I like to think we're a bit of an outlier since we take Wednesdays off. While this seems strange, it means that I never work more than two days at a time, I have time in the middle of the week to recharge, and I don't totally lose context on problems I'm working on. We could argue that this means it's not a true "off" day which may be true but I'm completely happy with this setup.<p>Tuesdays are the new Fridays, y'all.</p>

<p>This is cool. I'm looking to level up my Obsidian usage and I really like the author's thoughtfulness and optimism in their daily notes.<p>My favorite thing so far has been using Daily Notes to track a morning score and an evening score in the markdown's frontmatter. The score is just a "how I'm feeling" and can encompass really any aspect of my wellbeing. I'm working on a project to parse the data out of my daily notes so I can try to visualize trends. Eventually I want to mash in more data (listening history, Strava activity level, steps from Garmin, etc.) to see what kinds of things have, or seem to have, effects on my well-being.<p>screenshot of last april: <a href="https://share.getcloudapp.com/8Lupb7LX" rel="nofollow">https://share.getcloudapp.com/8Lupb7LX</a></p>

<p>My new gig does a 4days x 8hr work week. It was a major reason for joining the company and has proven to really help reshape how I work and how I think about work. Interestingly, we take Wednesdays off with the ability to trade that day on an as-needed basis. This gives us 2x 2-day work sprints per week. I find that I roll into Thursdays having had a day to reset a little bit, tackle personal projects, cook a huge meal, or go for a long bike ride. Friday comes and I haven't once felt the "Thank god it's Friday" feeling, but rather "Oh, it's Friday already?" in the same way that I used to feel it after a 3-day weekend.<p>Here's a bit more on our operating philosophy from our CEO: <a href="https://www.fastcompany.com/90501241/my-companys-always-had-4-day-workweeks-heres-why-theyre-more-important-than-ever" rel="nofollow">https://www.fastcompany.com/90501241/my-companys-always-had-...</a></p>

<p>I've been trying to figure out how to build JS projects with the evolving tools (grunt => gulp => webpack => parcel => back to webpack) for years. I stumbled on esbuild and thought why not. Within about 15 minutes, I had solved pretty much all our build issues. Admittedly, our use case was simple-- we needed to transpile React-flavored TS to a npm package. In about 6 lines of code, I had a working bundle. There were no .esbuildrc or esbuild.config.js files, no babel dependencies, and no order of build operations to consider. The tool just worked and it was screaming fast. My first impression was that it _didn't_ work because the process closed in my terminal so quickly.<p>After my first experiment with it, I rewrote our hundreds of lines Cloud Functions deploy script in about 15 lines (most of which is configuration options on the `build()` method).<p>I'm curious to explore the tool more. Kudos and thanks to the author for an unbelievably useful contribution.</p>

<p>I think there's something to be said for the general lack of movement that comes with WFH. It could be pure coincidence but the years I was in best shape running were the years when I had a 30 minute walk to/from work.<p>I now work from home and try to get out some mornings for a walk around the neighborhood but more often than not, I go straight from bed to a chair. My body gradually loosens up during the day but mostly in a seated position.</p>

<p>After 10+ years in the area, I just discovered a few weeks ago that this place exists while looking at a map to plan a bike ride. I couldn't believe that some of what's there is from the same world class artists that I saw at the Guggenheim in Spain (Jeff Koons, Richard Serra). I thought for sure Google Maps was playing a trick on me since no friends have ever mentioned it and I certainly haven't been. It's now on my shortlist of places to check out when the weather cools off a bit.</p>

<p>When visiting Berlin a few summers ago, I happened to be staying in Neukölln and decided it'd be fun to do one of my daily runs around the airfield. There's a funny thing about airports that I quickly realized: they have no trees and thusly no shade. They're also really big.<p>I won't say I particularly enjoyed the run but it was cool to be able to do it and experience a very unique and historic outdoor space in a big city.</p>

<p>To be honest, I'm not working with my favorite PT. The benefits, in my mind, come from:
1. something is better than nothing
2. the sense of mindfulness. it seems that a lot of PT is getting the right exercises to do for whatever ails you. as a runner, I generally know what I need to work on but my PT has helped refine my list of things. By getting a shorter, focused list, I can think of my PT almost like a coach rather than trying to come up with my own workout plans.<p>In terms of insurance, I have a pretty standard high-deductible health plan and an HSA. I pay out of my HSA (and more recently out of pocket, since depleting the HSA) up to my deductible.<p>I want to run my marathon in the fall and I think of it so far like paying $X to be able to make it to that start line. I've told myself that I'm willing to do what it takes in terms of finances, training, and general suffering to make sure I can toe the start line.</p>

<p>- a mid-level road bike, Trek Emonda SL6. I'm lucky to live in a city that's really fun to bike in (Washington DC) and has a great community of athletes. I get out for multiple rides per week and am finding myself obsessed with cycling<p>- regular physical therapy. I've started marathon training again and while that in itself beats my body up, I feel like years of sitting at the computer building sites and playing games has really put my legs at a disadvantage. My PT provides manual adjustments, needling, and gives me expert feedback on my regular exercises. Going on a regular basis also helps me be mindful of how I'm treating my body and helps keep foam rolling, stretching, and yoga at the forefront of my mind since I'm regularly paying money for a specialist.</p>
