Documentation as a Discipline
A while ago, I read a post from Tom McFarlin about keeping a change log. I had actually just started a massive project and was scrambling to remember what I did the previous month and why. Also, we had promised to deliver technical documentation and user manuals. I figured that I would get through the project (which…

How I Think About Cooking Food
One summer in elementary school I stumbled on the 80s/90s classic show, Great Chefs, Great Cities. I can still hear the theme song in my head! The show captured my attention.

An Honest Review on my January Plan
“Uhh ohh…” I looked at my watch. I couldn’t believe it was already Sunday. Not just anytime on Sunday, but evening. That meant that the weekend was over and it was time to get back to the weekly projects at hand tomorrow (that is, today!). This isn’t a post about “a case of the Mondays”, and it’s…

Recipe: Korean Dalkgalbi
