Last Two Weeks After the last Homebrew Website Club Baltimore meetup I said that I was going to make sure to get back on track for documenting my learning every few days. The last two weeks I've been working more on doing projects and less on documenting learning. I realize that each approach has its strengths, but…
Learning Log: Sunday February 18 and Monday February 19, 2018 As mentioned in the previous post, I wanted to return to my writing workflow of taking daily notes on active learning pursuits in my live notebook and then refining into somewhat longer articles. This practice of daily writing about what I'm learning is useful as…
Learning Log: Weekly Update My daily updates fell off a bit this week. I did a great job with documentation up until last weekend but then I got a bit distracted this week and didn't do as much. These logs are having an unexpected and interesting side benefit: I'm able to track the ebbs and…
Learning radar and learning log updates for Tuesday February 6, 2018 - Thursday February 8, 2018. Radar and log summaries are both contained in this post so that the progress made is visible! Somewhat less refined than previous entries as this pulls more from my notes format.
Learning Log: Tracking Daily Progress I've done a fairly good job keeping up with my commitment to documenting my daily learning! The workflow I'm using (write Markdown notes in Hugo notebook -> refine and post on main site) has been working well. I missed an entry for Monday, February 5 but I also found that…
Learning Log: Tracking Daily Progress I think that my workflow for publishing my daily learning log is such: Use my notebook to jot down 'live' notes as I read/watch/interact with things and then refine this into articles published on my main blog. This is pretty fast so far, but as I find that I write…
Overview and Inspiration The last few days I've been thinking about a simpler way to document all the various forms of learning that I do. I firmly believe in the importance and power of lifelong learning, and constantly seek new knowledge so that I may share it with others. I've also struggled to come up…
Formalizing My Commitments During the last Homebrew Website Club I started informally documenting my 2018-01-01 Commitments, but they were just tagged onto the end of other content. I now want to actually dedicate a post to them! For those unfamiliar, these are a list of website goals and tasks that you aim to accomplish before…
MozFest 2017: Wrangling Space This year I had the privilege of working as a Space Wrangler for the Web Literacy Track at MozFest 2017. Our team met in person in London and worked together from October 26 - 30 to create an awesome experience for festival attendees. By the time we arrived in London to prepare…
Week of 5/1/17 During this week I set the goal to dive deeper into some of the programming languages that I already know. One way that I decided to do this was to dive in to some programming podcasts for JavaScript. This is where I came across the above suggestion about keeping a programming diary/log.…
