“Short-Term” Plans
New to the crypto/NFT hype that has been going on for a while. The collapse of Luna was not something I expected could happen just one week after I joined Cabital. It was a surprise indeed. The impact made short-term plans even shorter. But we can make the best out of whatever comes to us. Now I have this unexpected but greatly appreciated spare time. I decided to take a break and start getting my hands on some things I always wanted to do but always got away with the “I don’t have enough time” excuse.
Enjoy Life, Don’t Rush
Blog - I purchased this domain on GoDaddy back in 2018 when the idea of writing a blog came up. After that, I did try out Wix and WordPress briefly but never completed the website and just bailed out. Now I have a website that I am quite satisfied with while enjoying every bit of the process.
Drum - It felt great! After 14 years of graduating from high school, I finally picked up my drum sticks again. Hard to believe that the price to rent a drum studio for an hour has almost tripled. But hitting the snare and feeling the beats was worth every dollar.
SQL and Python - When I first pivoted my career into data, I started with Google Analytics and AB testing. As the tasks became more complex and responsibilities grew, I did learn SQL and Python on the job but not systematically. Now was the perfect time to recap my growth and explore the skillsets to improve.
To celebrate the beginning of the blog.
Cheers,
Michael
