Blog
Over the last few years (since early 2019) I've tried to post on this blog regularly to keep my mind alert and to act as a "personal journal" of things I've done, projects i've worked on, or even some little techniques / packages I've discovered.

If you have any ideas or requests for subject matter, you can always reach out to me via my contact page.
