Unlike most people, buying a new car did not trigger any excitement (or any form of emotion) in my mind, and the decision was based on technology and economics (no emission, available supply, high benefit-to-cost ratio, no middleman).

Cemetery
I like to walk in a cemetery; it feels serene, solemn, and prompts me to ponder life from a different perspective.

December blooms
I am not sure if this is the normal season for flower blooming but here they are.

Featured on the Fresco gallery
Today I received a notification about my fifth and my first motion graphics featured on the Fresco gallery (the top left one at this moment). I am not sure how they picked these and that is not my favorite one but I guess that is how things work in the world (like paper reviews don’t tend to match my predictions).
Later, I asked Oscar the head curator who referred me to this medium post and this Behance blog about their curation process.

GitHub server maintenance
While chasing down a mysterious bug on a Sunday morning I realized that our “GitHub Enterprise administrators are performing scheduled maintenance”, so I went out later in the day feeling better work-life balance.
Thank you Todd! 🙂

Sinkhole tasks
Certain activities tend to drag me in and hard to get out, such as debugging and prototyping. To avoid crowding out other tasks, I try to schedule these sinkholes later in the day and start with these that I might skip over.
This is an orthogonal dimension with respect to the importance x urgency matrix.
