Yes, well

  • NaWriMo or Write for a Month

    I’m going be writing for the month of November. Writing has been on my To Do List for … a while now. There have been different things I would have written about, different reasons why I would have written. There have been different Projects why I would have (occasionally have) written. But the Task of…

  • Onramp to Personal Knowledge Management

    I found myself deep down some interesting, winding roads in the world of PKM or “Personal Knowledge Management” this last week. If I’ve heard the term used much before I don’t remember it. But interestingly enough it is something I have been fascinated (and working) with for years. A “fun” series of events led me…

  • When I grow up I hope I can play bass like Mike Herrera

    View this post on Instagram A post shared by Nick Jenkins (@nickjenkins) “25 years. I still remember standing at the merch table in the back of Crush Warehouse buying my copy of Teenage Politics. Still remember singing Every New Day the last time I saw Five Iron. There are days I do miss the music.”…

  • Almost a year later

    I had plans. There were thoughts I was thinking and there were posts to write. And for me like you and everyone else, 2020 happened. All around it really was a good Winter into Sprint. I had new roles in areas of my life. They were exciting, they were humbling, they were answers to prayers.…

  • 6 years.

    At the time of this writing it has been six years since I wrote anything here. While that is true I have far from lacked wanting to say things here or even having things to say. A lot of things have prevented that. Life, health, outlook. I won’t be surprised if what those are and…

  • “Coach: Lessons on the Game of Life” by Michael Lewis

    Finished on Saturday, March 30, 2019. Why this book? It was a recommendation on a Sports Edition of The Happy Rant Podcast. I have been intrigued by a lot of their recommendations and I enjoyed the other projects by Michael Lewis I have engaged with. Rating: strong 4/5 I learned… the world has changed for…

  • “Finish: Give Yourself the Gift of Done” by Jon Acuff

    Finished on Feb 25, 2019 11:45 am Why this book? The answer to this is more than a little ironic. But I know how to start things – including books – but I struggle to feel like I finish things. There are plenty of things in my life that I can mark complete, but I…

  • Week 1 down, 40 more to go

    And I’m not nearly as concerned about the remaining 40 as I would have been this time last year. Win! My wonderful bride is an educator. She, in my humble opinion, is an angel here on earth for what she does week in and week out. Don’t get me wrong. I love my children deeply.…

  • My next thirty years

    I turned 30. Apparently it is time to settle down… Apparently it is time to start a family… Buy a minivan… Start a career… Oops, I was ahead of the game until that last one. In all seriousness, though, not a thing feels different. My birthday was Tuesday and I have to say, it was…

  • [YouTube] Pachelbel Bedtime

    I’ve been meaning to post this sooner, but this is a great video from singer-songwriter John Crawford about the adventures of bedtime with children. I first heard this song on the TWiT netcast Jumping Monkeys and couldn’t stop laughing hearing it. Watching the video just adds to that, but will also find a special place…
