Finished reading: Crossroads of Twilight by Robert Jordan 📚



As I look forward to 2026, I’m planning to reengage in my practice of documenting and sharing my practices, processes, and tools. It’s fun for me, helps me reflect on my what/why/how and it’s a conversation anchor that I miss.


Split Fiction is a great co-op game

Jess and I just finished playing Split Fiction–a solid split-screen co-op game about two authors caught in their own fictional worlds, trying to save their ideas from a machine that’s attempting to steal those very stories.

Auto-generated description: A dynamic scene features two characters, one in a neon-lit futuristic city and the other in a vibrant, lush fantasy landscape, with the words Split Fiction at the top.

There was a great balance of puzzle and action, with both players getting a distinctive play style and unique mechanics that are both needed to conquer the machine (and its creator).

I liked some of the interesting ways they combined the two worlds, especially toward the end of the game. I’d buy some extra DLC if they expanded that in the future to explore more worlds and also have more of a chance to see the worlds come together.

Highly recommend! 3/3 ⭐ Exceeds expectations

Split Fiction
This split-screen adventure is tailored for two. Experience co-op gameplay where you’ll have to coordinate your actions and timing as well as work together to overcome challenges.

Shorter cycles, better work


Satisfied with my ChatGPT year in review fortune (timeless) and the three themes for 2025 seem on point.


Amazed by how quickly my annual personal website work was completed this year. Credit to some key tools that helped jump me to lightspeed: ChatGPT for honing my ideas, then GitHub Copilot to execute on the concept. This deserves a longer form blog post.
