Thomas Magnum of "Magnum P.I." fame (I am dating myself here) used to have a little voice that talked to him. I'd like to think that in some way we all have that voice. Here is a little secret - UI has never been my strong point. Don't get me wrong - I can go...
This is more in my series in setting up a project. I am knee-deep in setting up this project and I am trying to set up my base template at the same time. I've done this a few times - it feels great to be setting up a project from scratch. The beauty in this...
I thought that I would take the time to document this for myself as both times I did this previously I used different methods. As Tony Horton likes to say in the P90x videos... How do you know what to do if you don't know what you did? The following assumes that the project is...

So I have a problem at my house: the float on the sump pump no longer works. This means that as soon as the pump emptied the sump and the float went to its natural state (down) that the pump would not shut off and would eventually burn out. It's a fairly common problem and...
Probably the biggest lesson that I've learned over the years when it comes to my day job (as well as other areas of life) is the idea to measure twice and cut once. There are a couple of apps that I want to build but it seemed to make sense to learn the newer ways...
I wanted to piggyback off some of the benefits that I got from the last course that I finished. In that class we focused on modern React in a full-stack environment. Also, in my day job and many of the courses that I've taken we primarily use google's cloud functions. I want a refresher on...
