I am one week into using a bullet journal and things are moving along. i am trying to do all my tasks via the journal. i was trying to also do OmniFocus but i found that using both seemed cumbersome.

As part of my day job, I am the Director of the APSU GIS Center. For the past couple of months we have been working in collaboration with Google to develop the InnovaTN Games.

My New Bike As I try to get more heathy, I have to increase my physical activity. My first attempt at an increase, was walking. I really enjoy walking the dog, but plantar fasciitis has been a hinderance.

I have recently returned to keeping a blog. It has always been easy for me to start a blog but hard for me to keep it going. I have tried various CMS, including Wordpress, Drupal, Jekell, Octopress, and Hugo.
