The monitoring relays alerted us that the caravan never arrived at the midway outpost. Michale went missing the same day the caravan left so it was almost certain he left on it. Since I worked in the Operations Center, I was privy to the fact that he wasn’t registered on the journey. I was also […]

My story starts simple enough. I wanted to get out of town, run away. You’d think that would be a straightforward process. However, when I tried to register for the caravan heading to Canton, they told me I was too young. Fair enough, because that’s probably true.

How To Keep Running
Business or Life, it’s all a marathon composed of literally running for your life until you meet your final resting place. “One foot in front of the other” is what they say. I was a runner once, and many people are not. What does it mean, to run a marathon?

Productivity – A Data Based Introspection
The other day, I happened to remember that I track the seconds spent typing into my code editor, and have been since the beginning of 2016. It’s nothing spectacularly special, but I wonder what I would see if I pulled the data?
