May 2025

Man, what a busy month! We’re having fun over here, but dang, that was a lot.

I went to a ton of events this month, including…

  • seeing one of my heroes, Jon Stewart, do a live standup set,
  • a Richmond Ivy match,
  • the Crimebabies show opening,
  • the RABID robot fight,
  • a wedding-shaped party,
  • and a really amazing birthday-shaped party.

So yeah: an amazing time with friends!

I also filled another journal; I now have another book that serves as a daily log of every single day from June 25th, 2023 to May 11th, 2025.

Outside of work, I spent some time automating the ingest of events for RVA Tech Calendar and Philly Tech Calendar, making it easier for me to lightly edit and curate them.

This month’s “new music” playlist turned out really good.
