Heatwaves, Hemispheres and Happenings
Whatโs a moment when you realized you were officially an adult?
Daily Prompt 2855Well now, I really just do what I like on this blog now donโt I? The past year has been absolutely wild, jam-packed with life, and light on the writing. In the time since I last blogged, so many huge life changes have taken place, and I definitely feel a sense of imposter syndrome (not to mention immense privilege) about much of it. Like, who let little old me get married, move overseas and buy a house (!?) in the span of a year and a half? In my head, Iโm still in my early twenties, but my niggly knee, silver hairs and aging cultural references remind me that I am in fact edging towards my thirties. Still a chicken, but maybe not a spring one. A world away from the Gen Alpha and baby Gen Zers I teach, it feels like. Maybe I am an adult now after all.
Iโm typing from a train between London Marylebone and Birmingham Moor Street. A week ago today, I was at a dinner party in Mount Vic, saying goodbye to lovely friends made over my year and a half stint being back home in Wellington. It has been bittersweet to spend all this special time with friends and whฤnau. We have been anticipating this international adventure for a long time coming, but it still hurts to leave behind these communities we were just starting to feel a sense of belonging in and I donโt think I fully believe it could be years until I see my family in person again. Cliched as it sounds, it is lovely to feel so loved and know you will be missed when you pack up your life and move to the other side of the world for โjust a little whileโ.
The past few days have been a whirlwind: my wife and I landed in an extraordinary London heatwave on Thursday (a high of 38C was recorded at Kew Gardens, which until very recently has been absolutely unheard of in England). In the span of a few days, I have binged The Simpsons between Auckland and Singapore, successfully fallen asleep on a plane (!!), crossed hemispheres, delighted in above average inflight meals, and had my wife mistaken for my sister by the flight attendant when we ordered identical drinks and then I selfishly took mine first even though she was in the window seat. Oops! I blame the jetlagโฆ
Thatโs all from me for now, but I solemnly swear I am committed to documenting these travels with some frequencyโฆ and also that Iโm up to no good.

Right now, itโs TBD when Iโll be back online to do live posting of sports, lot to unpack
(and yes, I did watch the World Cup while staying at hotel while this house was getting ready, it was relaxing to just watch for once)

I thought moving would be easy, itโs not.
Lot of unpacking, lot of trips to Home Depot (my wallet hurts so much right now) and also not to mention, transferring job to new location, since it would be too far of commute.

Hi there.
For those wondering where I was, and why I missed live posting of World Cup and Midsummer Classic, this is why:
Moving. After almost forever in Lake Oswego, thought it was time to move on to new place.

1. Had the bathroom and kitchen professionally cleaned on Monday, including all the ceiling fans. The difference is remarkable.
2. Had the grass mowed this morning by a local fellow. It hadnโt been cut since last September when my brother last took care of it.
3. Coming here for two months to sort through things was absolutely the right decision. While I canโt move the heavy items, Iโve been able to bag, box, and donate many useful things to local charities.
Bonus: The cooler Upper Michigan weather has been a welcome change, though weโre expecting a high of 99ยฐF next Monday. With no air conditioning, those freshly cleaned fans are about to earn their keep!

22 June 2026
Writing a few words to get back in blogging shape. Thereโs been a lot keeping me busy and as soon as I sat down to write, my dog starting puking on the floor. For the last month Iโve been recovering from the acupuncture cure of Alpha Gal and donโt know how long before then I was dealing with the symptoms of meat allergy. For months I was complaining about the quality of ground beef at the grocery store, in reality I was probably having allergic reactions. The first time I got Alpha gal, it hit so hard that my entire life shut down. When it was cured, I acted like it never happened. Mentally I couldnโt acknowledge what happened. At the same time I was struggling with some mystery illnesses for years, now I believe those were allergic reactions from eating meat. Now that the acupuncture is out and Iโm feeling better, I donโt plan to eat beef, pork, or lamb ever again with hopes that will give me new life. These are my first days back and Iโm making plans for my future. In the Fall, for the first time all kids will be in daycare and Iโll get another part of my life back. My show has been going well and Iโm proud of how the interviews came out. My plan is to turn my recording into an AI self that can read my blog writings as a script to create daily videos. One attempt at AI cloning was already made and failed, my thinking was that everything was too complicated, so Iโve been figuring out how to simplify things for take two.

So, here's the plan.......
Due to work again going to 8 PM tonight, I will not have any Stanley Cup live updates and posting like normal.
If game does go into overtime, I will be doing delayed live reaction.
Sorry, but work is priority right now.

music & miles & maintenance
didnโt get any freeCodeCamp (fCC) done this afternoon, but honestly the day still got used up pretty well, so iโm not exactly filing a complaint with the universe. iโve been cleaning my room, rearranging a bunch of stuff, and doing that weird domestic shuffle where everything looks slightly worse before it looks better, but it's finally feigning more towards that latter half. the kind of progress that makes you question your own decisions for a minute and then, somehow, still feels [โฆ] -
humble chaos
medical transporter this morning was amazing. looks like a Vinny Raffa Jr though lol. he had dope music blasting when he picked me up โ Smoking Popes, โDays Just Wave Goodbyeโ โ which is already a pretty strong way to start the day before TMS.iโm on my way to my TMS session now, then iโve got freeCodeCamp(fCC)โs Absolute and Relative Units Quiz, and then onto Pseudo Classes and Elements next. probably going to take a pause after the Design A Greeting Card Workshop, because [โฆ] -
My June 2026 Goals
Photo by Marina Endzhirgli on Pexels.com So it has been a plethora of fiascos the last few months but life is starting to stabilize again. This is a good thing cause I have about 8 blog posts in drafts and I need to finish them and get them published. Sadly our boy, my cat Da Storm passed away on March 10th. We had him almost 13 yrs and he was just under 15 yrs old. I miss him daily and will always miss him. He was my first real pet and love him very much. He saved me a ton over the years [โฆ] -
design quiz complete, ramen loading, [fake] flyer pending
blew through the rest of freeCodeCamp (fCC)โs Design Fundamentals, took the Quiz, and aced it, then finished out the rest of Design like it was just another thing on the checklist (which it was) and not just a small victory disguised as a daily task (which it was not). thereโs something weirdly satisfying about getting through a whole chunk of theory and then realizing you actually kept your brain in the room the entire time. that feels like a win. a real one. not the fake โi opened the [โฆ]https://blogguerz.wordpress.com/2026/06/02/design-quiz-complete-ramen-loading-fake-flyer-pending/

less foggy, more forward-y
tonight was a decent little victory lap. i finished the rest of freeCodeCampโs User Interface Design Fundamentals, and tomorrow iโm stepping into the first stretch of User-Centered Design. the brain is clocking out, but the momentum is still doing laps around the block like it pays rent. Empty Apartment Satellite-Parking Lot on a Cold, Brisk Night i also got a bunch of real-life nonsense handled, which is always suspiciously satisfying. room cleaning and rearranging got knocked down a [โฆ]https://blogguerz.wordpress.com/2026/06/01/less-foggy-more-forward-y/

pause unpaused. postcard is live. pause again. then, back to it!
glad i took another break after shipping the blog postcard. itโs live now! which still feels good every time i say it out loud. i posted the screenshot, linked it back to the postcard, and let the whole thing close the loop properly and all. right now, iโm just stepping away for a minute. gonna go on a walk, bounce my racquetball around, and keep my hand coordination alive while the rest of me cools off. little things like that matter more than they look like they should. they keep me [โฆ] -
the postcard is still alive (but not live yet), the lessons were easier than expected, and iโm still moving [and alive]
today is turning into one of those days where the work is moving slower than the thoughts, but thatโs not the same thing as falling behind. iโve already pushed through the first chunk of fCC theory and quizzes, and honestly the first three lessons were easier than i expected; that felt good! not in some dramatic, life-changing way, just in that quiet little โoh, iโm actually getting thisโ kind of way that makes the rest of the day feel a little more possible. right now, iโm on [โฆ] -
BEC SPK 4 NY
i was just about to hit "Start Streaming" in OBS to go live on Twitch, but then i got an e-mail notification that New York!

the view got wider, and so did the build lately
something has shifted in the way iโm moving through my own mind.for a while, i thought i was getting more focused. more disciplined. more locked in. but iโm starting to realize that what i called focus was sometimes just tunnel vision wearing a serious face. it looked productive from the inside because i was staring hard at one thing. but staring hard is not the same as seeing clearly. now the view feels broader; it palatial. iโm noticing more โ the edges, the peripheries, the stuff [โฆ]https://blogguerz.wordpress.com/2026/05/31/the-view-got-wider-and-so-did-the-build-lately/

week 3 day 6โ7: i did the lab and iโm pausing
tonight i: finished the freeCodeCamp styling lists & links lectures built the fCC stylized to-do list lab took long walks at a leisurely paces as my PomoGuerzo breaks did some โroom cleaningโ as a separate activity than โbreaksโ, because i believe that having them as a combined activity previously was really draining me, and honestly, doing it this way seems a lot better stopped before i got cooked. Being more hyperware of my state of being and my state of energy level plus state [โฆ]https://blogguerz.wordpress.com/2026/05/31/week-3-day-6%e2%86%927-i-did-the-lab-and-im-pausing/

So apologies for very delayed gap, and game is over, but I have no idea who won.
Weโre selling the place, we had a showing that was late already, (which lead to late posting), and another late showing that was supposed to happen at 7:15, didnโt happen till 7:40.

Just a small life update.
After losing my good phone in the robbery, I currently have to rely on my old device again, and itโs struggling badly. The battery barely lasts anymore, so I need to reduce power usage and keep things as lightweight and minimal as possible. Because of that, Iโm stepping away from some platforms and rethinking which communication networks I truly want to depend on in the future.
What I will continue using and keeping are open and decentralized networks like XMPP, Matrix, SimpleX, Nostr, and the Fediverse. Those spaces feel far more independent, resilient, and aligned with the kind of digital future I want to support.
Step by step Iโm rebuilding my setup, simplifying things, and focusing more on privacy-friendly and decentralized technology again. Sometimes losing a device really changes the way you think about communication, ownership, and dependence on centralized platforms.
