I finished reading Ready Player One yesterday, continuing my summer where I actually read books. It was a truly fantastic, easy, and entertaining book. I strongly recommend it. 

I’ve really enjoyed taking time out of my day to just read. Usually I’ll go to my roof with a paperback and read up there, cigar in hand. There are no screens to distract me; just the sounds of the city, the sunset, and a book.

It’s a very peaceful experience and a nice way for me to log off for a couple of hours. I think I will keep it up.

    I’ve been pondering getting an actual business line since many services don’t accept Google Voice, and then T-Mobile emailed me that I was gifted a free line. So I picked up the 2024 Motorola razr for less than $400. I haven’t used Android since switching to iPhone 10 years ago.

I picked it up because while I’m generally good at developing themes, I know there were some things I was missing- types of code, optimizations, plugin best practices, etc. I wanted to improve my WordPress…
