The Personal Website of Jeremy Boles

I have been doing a lot of creative coding and general building lately, and I feel like part of my soul has finally returned to me.

Some nights are just a grilled-cheese-for-dinner nights.

It was violent, and there was even some sadness and regret, but I mowed over the small rose garden that I did not have the time or energy to maintain.

My basement sounds like a data center with all of the fans I have running down there to help things dry out after all of the rain.

Alamo Drafthouse Cinema Springfield

Seeing Pressure with my dad.

I have really enjoyed getting into Elixir again and having the BEAM virtual machine available.

I’ve settled into a “bachelor” meal that I like to make when the kids are at their mother’s house on the weekend: farinata and a cold beer. I got the batter put together for dinner this evening. It only takes a few minutes to do; I just have to remember to do it early so it has enough time to sit all day.

I had a no-judgment realization today that I spend far more time planning to write or building tools to help with writing than I do any actual writing.

Momo Sushi and Grill Springfield

I am having dinner with my parents this evening. I didn’t realize that sushi places had an early bird special.

The unreasonable effectiveness of simple HTML

I try to remember this woman and her PlayStation Portable every time I read about a new whiz-bang browser feature.

Fireflies are one of my favorite things about living here, and I have not yet taken the time this summer to be outside in the late evening just to enjoy them. This changes now.

The house is just about in order this morning… just in time for the chaos to arrive again.

Losing my job last month has certainly upped the stress level around here, especially given that I am still in the middle of going through a divorce. I must say, though, I’m quite content to no longer be working for a billionaire.

I think I’d forgotten how much of a joy it is to wake up early and hack on my website a bit before starting the rest of my day.

I am falling asleep in front of the television before the sun sets, like an old man, these days.

Nobody Gets Promoted for Simplicity

…pay attention to what you celebrate publicly. If every shout-out in your team channel is for the big, complex project, that’s what people will optimize for.
