Cloudyish, cool Thursday. Just sitting down to write at a little after noon here. I think I'll give a little list of the things I'm up to lately. Lots of cool stuff swirling around in this here brain!
TOP OF MIND:
On the cusp of launching a cool podcast and community for creative coding ladies (more info to come, yeeee!)
Preparing my CodeLand talk - taking place on July 23 (and you're invited!
Nursing my strained neck back to health with yoga and nice walks instead of HIIT workouts
Wrapping up some hourly client work and invoicing, etc.
General life admin
THINGS I'M PONDERING:
Deciding whether or not to share more behind-the-scenes stuff on Instagram
A new project adapted from my Wellbean project that helps keep track of when a certain household chore was last done
Transferring my So You Think You Can France website from being hosted on Squarespace to being built up again with React and hosted on GitHub pages
Continuing on with my JavaScript course, APIs, and all that fun stuff
Cool! Thanks for coming to my spur-of-the-moment brain inventory Now let's be friends over on Twitter >>
P.S. I'd love to know what you're up to these days re: creative coding projects or just life admin in general! What's on your proverbial plate?

Nice, a podcast sounds exciting!
I've picked up the #100DaysOfCode challenge in an attempt to work on a side project, but I'm also trying to blog weekly so I'm finding that tends to take up most of my time. I haven't been making as much progress on my side project as I would have liked.
I've also been trying to take a bit of a step back from programming in my free time so I don't burn myself out - I've told myself I'm not allowed to do any programming after 12pm on the weekends so I can give myself plenty of time to enjoy non-programming hobbies 😅
Hi Emma! 👋
I should get back to #100DaysOfCode - I started a while ago but then kind of stopped documenting it. I may just have to start again - it was a great way to make new connections on Twitter and to stay accountable for coding projects!
And yes! I'm excited to launch my latest project and podcast! I'm starting a little community of women who code and who want to carve out a bit more time for their creative coding pursuits each week.
What you just described - wanting to make more progress on your side project while also making sure not to burn out - is exactly what I'm hoping to facilitate with these types of small cohorts later on.
I'll definitely keep you updated if you're interested :D
Yes please!
