100 Days

Nick Momrik3 Comments

My posting streak hits triple digits with this post! It all started on November 10th. I tallied up some rough numbers:

  • 123 Posts
  • 18,660 Words
  • 400 Links
  • 121 Images

You can get the function (not perfect) I wrote to calculate these numbers on GitHub.

I’m not sure if I’m getting burnt out or if I’m just not as excited about recent posts because I haven’t been working on many cool hobby projects to write about. Hopefully I can get motivated to finish up some projects I’ve already started and work on updates to others.

I don’t know how long I’ll continue this daily posting, but I do have a cool announcement coming next week.

MacBook Pro Charger

After years of use, the Magsafe end of the charger for my Early 2013 MacBook Pro became frayed to the point where it would literally spark at times. Not safe. I found this 60W Macbook Pro Charger by Hunda for only $40 and it even has a couple of USB ports. Much cheaper than buying an official Apple replacement charger. […]

Coffitivity

Working from home isn’t always rainbows and cupcakes as you might expect. It can be easy to get distracted, especially with what’s going on in our country right now. One thing that’s worked well for me lately is listening to a single song on repeat. It doesn’t take long for the sound to fade away and I really zone out on my work.

I also have the flexibility to work from anywhere I want, but I rarely ever head out to coffee shops for WiFi, unless my power is out. I’ve read about people working to the sounds of a coffee shop more and more, so when Ingrid told our team Coffitivity was working well for her, I figured I’d give it a shot.

I’m just starting today so don’t have any conclusions yet. I’m wearing my WordPress-customized Sennheiser Momentum Wireless 2.0 Over-ear Wireless headphones for the noise cancellation. It does seem a little weird to wear headphones since I live alone, but in just a short time I’ve realized I’m not being distracted by birds or squirrels outside my window or vehicles driving by.

Solar Power

I saw last week’s Daily Post Photo Challenge was “Shadow”. We don’t get much sun in the winter, so I decided to flip the challenge on it’s head. A shadow is the enemy of solar power, right? A couple of months ago I had bought a bunch of electronics for a solar powered project idea. I don’t […]

Here Comes Duke

It’s been an up-and-down year for the Duke Blue Devils. With Coach K back on the bench, Grayson Allen finding his game again, and a win over rival North Carolina last night they’re starting to look like the team we expected to see this year. These rivalry games with UNC are always the best games […]
