I started off July with a very different project in mind for the month, but COVID-19 had other plans for me! I got the project to the 80% mark with time set aside to finish it off - then spent a week barely leaving bed with COVID-19. So here we are with something a bit different this month - playing with DALL-E 2 to create featured images for my blog!

📚 In the Shadow of Lightning by Brian McClellan - Loved his Powder Mage series but he takes his writing to the next level with his new book. Couldn’t put it down the entire time I read it. Can’t wait for the sequel. A+

I consume tons of content: books, articles, podcasts, films, TV, and YouTube videos. I like to keep everything film and TV related in an application called Plex. It’s a fantastic piece of software that lets you keep all your content in one place and track what you’ve watched (and haven’t watched). I pay for most of the streaming services available in Canada, but I still download all my TV and Movies to Plex. It lets me keep track of what I watch in one cohesive place.

Anyone who knows me well knows that I love films. So I have a soft spot in my heart for going to film festivals. I’ve enjoyed multiple years of both the Vancouver International Film Festival and the Toronto International Film Festival.

I drank far too much Coca-Cola from my teenage years and into my early 20s. A disgusting amount that makes me cringe when I think back to it. It was a habit that was hard to kick; I believe, on some level, I had tied my developer/nerd identity with my Coca-Cola habit.
