I love hiking, backpacking, and most things related to the outdoors. I also design and build random things on the web. You can learn more about me at https://drempd.com.
Honestly, my pessimistic outlook on the future is probably mostly permanent. I think many of us on the left learned something about 40%-50% of the country that we didn't understand before Trump. Now that I've confronted that reality, I don't think the future is very bright. #democrats #midterms

A little wet on the run today, which was actually kind of nice. Some new buildings going up, a hidden courtyard, and a nice mural I've always liked. #sandiego #urbanism #urbanrunning

I love living in a nice, walkable neighborhood, but honestly it's probably too easy for me to get a latte some days. #urbanism #cityproblems #toomuchcoffee

I had a dream last night that I had a real job. I woke up quite relieved. #freelance

Started tagging things in my schedule as "fun". Today, I went for a nice run, and then we walked to get some coffee and browse music at the local record shop. This stuff gets lost at times, so perhaps this is a way to be more appreciative. #productivity #freelance

I think the greatest thing about living in a climate that's warm year-round, is always having the birds out singing in the mornings, even in the middle of winter. #sandiego #socal #cali #birds #thelittlethings

Your music probably isn't turned up loud enough.

I've found that it often times pays off to procrastinate.

Such a beautiful day. Have the window open, listening to the birds sing, and letting some of the warm air into the house. There's something about this time of year, sound carries differently, or the light is different. Not sure what it is, just pleasant. #sandiego

The weekend was spent slamming through a project for a client. Things are mostly there, and now I'm in the phase where I'm making small fixes and adjustments. This is my favorite phase. The tasks are small but impactful, and I can cross off quite a few in the span of an afternoon. #freelance

Sometimes there is some miraculous productivity hack to solve the problem of having too much to do. Sometimes there's just actually too much work.
