Happy belated Thanksgiving! Here is what I’ve been up to this month, aside from the day-to-day ‘job’ related stuffs…
Learning stuffs
- Re-learning Git! (Udemy course): I’ve used git, quite regularly too, in my previous technical roles but never quite learned it ‘properly’. This course helped me do that and also ready me to work in collaborative settings like GitHub/GitLab.
- Pixel Arts (Udemy lesson): I continue to progress through this… intentionally slowly to build strong foundation. Here are some of my proud work this month! (yes, this month is all on animation!)
- Investment: still just in learning and reading mode. I’ve allocated more time in December on this, with the goal to fully assess existing asset mix and strategies (in 401k and brokerage accounts) and start making changes.
Creating and hacking stuffs
- I’ve built this website and continue to add more content.
- Started piloting publishing on Medium (particularly enjoy writing the ‘Nostalgic Game Review’ section), Substack, and Twitch (for my drawing, pixel arts process, maybe more later)
Consuming stuffs
- Reading: Realizing I went a bit too much into various newsletters, I plan to pivot back and read more Medium articles and books.
- TV/Movie: Not much…(and I am quiting Netflix) but so far enjoying The Mandalorian season 2 quite a lot 🙂
- Gaming: I’m digging more into ‘Rise of the Tomb Raider‘. Almost 25% into the game.
