A couple of hours ago electricity went off in my building. Since no electricity = no computers, I decided to go to the gym. My true genius was revealed when I walked with my bike to the elevator only to realize that no electricity = no elevator. Not one to be deterred by such mundane revelation, I decide to go through the stairs with my bike. Four floors. I painstakingly make it, after hitting myself in the knees on multiple occasions with the pedals, dangerously dropping the bike on one of the sets of stairs, etc. Finally I am at ground floor! And then the elevator comes down with my next door kids who look at me puzzled and ask why I am sweaty and carrying my bike.
So, upon realizing that the electricity is back, what do I do? Why lock my bike to a pillar downstairs and go back home, of course. I guess carrying all that weight through four floors counts as my daily strength training.
For the past decade and a half I have been making all my content available for free (and never behind a paywall) as an ongoing practice of ephemeral publishing. This site is no exception. If you wish to help offset my labor costs, you can donate on Paypal or you can subscribe to Patreon where I will not be putting my posts behind a lock but you'd be helping me continue making this work available for everyone. Thank you. Follow me on Twitter for new post updates.
