April 2024
- If you are seeing this, I finally launched v37!
- Full travel benefits kicked in for work, so all the planes
News
April seemed to fly by! It started off with finally getting my full flight benefits which allowed me to spend even more time at the airport. I headed down to San Diego for brunch, farmers markets, boats, and cake for a day. Also, it was time for the annual family trip to the Long Beach Grand Prix. Outside of travel, it was a month full of spring cleaning and starting new work projects.

With the launch of v37, I finally took the time to transition my site away from a bulky Laravel instance and took the time to learn something new. This new site is built on Astro, a Typescript framework that has allowed me to simplify the site. No more databases, very little server-side code, and an easy way to update my journal with markdown files. The first update just brings over everything from the old site, but look for more changes soon!
March 2024
- Launched the new Breeze/Barclays credit card with surprisingly few hiccups
- Restarted bullet journaling after stopping when I sold OpenSnow
- So about Asketchyfish v37… I'll work on it soon!
News
March started off with flying back from Switzerland after a very relaxing week long adventure to Zurich and Zermatt. Another trip to Sonoma county with some stops at both old and new places punctuated the middle of the month. And the end of the month was a week long workfest that invovled some 2am Denny's after launching the airline's new credit card. Overall, it was a busy month full of lots of adventures!
February 2024
- Realized that I have yet to start working on the new version of Asketchyfish for v37, hopefully will get that worked on and out in March/April
- Lots of work for Breeze getting ready for the Barclays credit card release
News
February arrived and it finally decided to start snowing in the mountains! I enjoyed the cold and snow with our usual trip up to Snowbird and family visiting. The month conclued in the middle of a trip to Switzerland for even more mountain time. Other than snow, I mostly spent the month stuck in lots of long meetings for work as we are nearing the final few weeks before we launch Breeze's new credit card! Still so wild being at an airline, while it also being just a four year old startup too.
January 2024
- Removed the subscribe link to the newsletter since TinyLetter is shutting down. Not sure if I will roll out a replacement at some point or just wait for you all to come here
- Started to sketch out ideas for the next round of updates to Wanderlust Weather including airports
News
A new year and another month full of travels and adventures! With my first set of flight benefits kicking in, I checked out flying JSX with my father down to a car auction, and then tried out the dreaded Spirit for a quick night away in Vegas. Finally I ended the month with an amazing trip to LA to see my friend preform at the Magic Castle. Overall a very busy month to kick off the new year!
