I’m sitting in a coffee shop (Machinery) here in Bali with a humidity and espresso induced glaze on my forehead, and feeling pretty good. I’ve been a bit demotivated to blog lately, but I spent the last few days reading which always helps. How do people blog on a daily basis? It’s really hard …
Easter Week in San Juan
Happy Easter everyone! All 10 of you that read this. As it’s Easter and I’m getting a late start on this, I'm going to keep it brief this week. Mostly the past week I kept my head down and did programming related to research for my trading hobby/career. One thing I realized was that …
Happy Holidays
Happy New Year here from Puerto Rico! It’s been a bit rainy, but I’m still in shorts and able to get to the beach once a week. I often lose perspective of the good qualities of wherever I’m living, but it’s easy to be appreciative being able to lay on the beach in January. …
Visiting Las Vegas and Los Angeles
I missed a blog post last week as I was both traveling plus starting my Nanowrimo challenge. I usually feel guilty when I don’t make my weekly post, but since I’ve started the writing challenge it’s been maximum effort for me to get whatever writing I do towards my story. As an aside I …
Getting Motivated for NANO
Lots of things going on for me this week, a fun change from my recent laziness. My friend Ari just moved to Puerto Rico a few days ago, hopefully for an indefinite stay. Friends of my girlfriend are coming from Sweden for a half-day on Wednesday, we go to Vegas for Jeff’s birthday weekend on …
Weekly Recap
Really, really enjoy coffee. I could give up a lot of my other vices, but good coffee at the right time makes life so much more enjoyable. I can’t think of how much work I have been able to push myself through only because of a caffeine buzz. This past week I overindulged on …
New Schedule for Productivity
Great week here in Puerto Rico. My friend Ian, from my olden days of equity options trading in Chicago, visited for half of the week. It’s crazy that I’ve been out of that business for almost a decade now. He was one of my main mentors at Third Millennium Trading, allowing me to use his …
Reality Check
So last week I blogged about how I was happy about being in Stockholm and not needing any more summer travel or plans. Naturally a week later I find myself with a flight to London this coming week, and one to Croatia in two weeks. I even attempted to book a day of flight this …
New Motivation
I just had a phenomenal week. It's funny how small life decisions can make such a big impact on my overall state of happiness. Nothing major happened last week, I didn't make money or do anything that I felt was groundbreaking, but I did make some small changes to my current path which feel correct. …
A Normal Week
I had a good week back in San Juan. I followed through on some of my plans finding a real office to work out of (https://www.cospazio.com/ ), and getting work done. I was really hesitant to spend money to sit at a desk when I can do the same thing at a coffee shop for …
