Last month, I went to Pakistan for about a week. The trip was for my dad’s 1 year death anniversary, there were some religious things that were expected to be done and I also went to support my mom and family. During this trip, I came to a realization that we are surrounded by technology…

A new projects page, for tracking all projects in one place
I’ve been focusing my spare time on what projects I’m working on and organizing them to see just how much time I’m spending on them. Some projects are pet projects, like Bookends.
