1/N Story 2. This is long overdue.

In addition to the class work my daughter does in school, she is also a content creator on the side. From an early age, she has created and sold many different forms of art: [ bracelets, cards, cup/pot holders, knitwear, YouTube videos, etc ].

Very soon my life journey will take me far away from here, and the place I rest my head and call home will be my home no more. Such is the way of things. This is my city no more. #onward

Last night was one of the best nights for me in a long time. I met up with old friend from back home. Though it has been many years since we last saw each other (10+) it was like no time had passed at all. Dylan, you are 1 of a kind and an amazing friend. @PearlJam

Finally, 1 of my biggest inspirations for writing has come from @david_perell. I have taken his advice and words of wisdom to heart and also shared his lessons with my daughter.

Influence is viral, and you can find inspiration everywhere.

It is our greatest teacher.

She is using the money she earns from her work for college and to help inspire others to find their inner voice as well, helping to raise awareness on mental health.

Please pass this along and stay tuned for more content.

Thank you!

Students used Adobe Photoshop to apply different techniques they learned to create the art.

I am so proud of her!!! Congratulations EAB. Well done!

1/N I have 2 stories to share today. First:

My daughter, a sophomore in HS, is taking a Graphic Design class. Her last assignment was to create an album cover for a song she liked. She picked a song I really love, "Blurry", from the "Come Clean" album, written by Puddle of Mudd.

3/N

Her teacher had students across all of his Graphic Design and Print making classes choose 5 different pieces of art created by those students in his classes, and then from the 5, choose 1. Of all the pieces, my daughter's album cover was selected as the overall winner!

The answer today is NO.

Interesting talk on Netflix's current use of Java. https://t.co/wDuNwdw75M. "Since about a year or so we have completely standardized on Spring Boot." "It is quite amazing...that that framework has been so stable and so well-evolved."
