I was recently asked why ew use the classical model for homeschooling our son - this is what I meant to say.
Having been a cigar smoker for well over a decade now, I see that it really is the solution for all of life's woes. Well maybe I wouldn't go quite that far but I always feel positive and energised after a good cigar, and maybe not for the reason you think.

I am currently in the throws of creating a new history curriculum, from scratch, for my homeschooler. In this post I talk about the reasons why I have decided to do such athing and the problems that I have already hit even though I haven't even started yet.

After deciding to start updating my website a little more regularly I, instead of actually doing it, procrastinated for a week or so, productively I assure you!

After installing DWM, I am undecided as to whether to stick with it or not. I though i'd use this blog post as a way to think through the decision.

I'm a list maker! Almost every decision I make requires me to make a list. Here I make a list on what I don't like about i3, my current window manager and what I want out of a new one, hopefully I'll choose one after this!
