Taking in the view on a snowy drive through the mountains of Andorra.

1 British mathematician John Edensor Littlewood considered a “miracle” to be a one-in-a-million event. He also figured that a person encounters one distinct “event” per second while alert and awake. In 35 days, that adds up to one million events. Therefore, the average person encounters a miracle about once a month. 2 My go-to snack …

A beautiful sunset sky in Andorra.

1 Lots of stress and struggle for me in 2022, trying to juggle business, relationships, and moving to a new country. And yet I look back on it all quite fondly. Some things that suck in the moment can become good memories. 2 Maybe productivity is like sleep: the harder you try, the more it …

Momentos – Dec 2022

1 Bought a big new television today. Could barely fit it in the car to take home. We’ll have a really nice home cinema thing going on once it’s all set up. Would be amazing for gaming as well, but I wouldn’t trust myself with a console. 2 Ran 4 kilometers into the woods before …

1 It was hard to get out for a nice walk when we lived in Tbilisi. But here in Andorra every walk is nice. Found a trail up behind the telecabina station today, followed it through the woods to an abandoned shack, spectacular views all around. 2 Been renting a car since we got here. …

1 Was going for a short run but ended up doing 10k. Through the mountains, the views and fresh air kept me going until my feet gave out. Along the way, saw folks relaxing by the lake, men catching trucha, an amateur ninja flying through the woods. 2 In a mall restroom the other day, …

1 Not enough sleep and tons to do today. I’m thinking of it like an obstacle course. And I don’t just want to make it through. I want to rise to the occasion and crush this thing, be at my best. Here we go. 2 We leave tomorrow. Another hectic day today. Across town to …

1 Another day, another shit taxi experience in Tbilisi. Stuck in highway traffic with this guy, an ambulance passes and he tries to quarterback sneak it, gunning through narrow gaps, then acts pissy with other drivers getting back in lane and cutting him off. I yell at him, then get out and walk. 2 At …

1 I’ve done little on the site the last several months but publish thin content, and yet I just got a rankings boost. SEO can be a black box like that, hard to make sense of it. If I’d been super proactive trying to improve my rankings, who knows, maybe I’d be worse off now. …

Momentos – May 2022

1 When I’m tired, I try not to take frustrations too seriously, or dwell on negative thoughts. So easy to get annoyed by the trivial just because your brain is sluggish, viewing things through a dirty lens. Best not make any big decisions or think too deep in that frame of mind. 2 Not in …
