Organize365 is one of my favorite podcasts. It’s helped me improve day to day operations and has helped me plan ahead a little more in some areas of my life. I’m still working on some things, but Organize365 has helped a lot in the way that I think about my home, my roles, and my…

Invisible Struggles and Kindness
I want to encourage others to be kind to one another. There shouldn’t have to be a reason to show kindness, to give the benefit of the doubt, or to extend grace to others. Just treat others kindly. I used to think the best way to express that sentiment was that one should treat people…
To Blogroll or Not To Blogroll?
…that is the question. After finding the IndieWeb community, I started thinking back to what blogging was years ago, old school blogging. Back then, blogrolls were a great way to find interesting blogs, and it was a great way to showcase the blogs you enjoyed reading. Before I ever wrote a blog post myself, I…
The Mindset of Incremental Change
Before a shift in my mindset, I wouldn’t have went to the gym this morning. My back and hip flexors were so tight and I didn’t think I’d be able to do anything. It would have been easy not to go. In the past few weeks, I’ve worked hard to improve my life in several…
Finished Coding My First Static HTML Page
I finished coding my first static HTML webpage, my Now Page. (happy dance! happy dance!) Over on the post “Dear Diary, Blah Blah Blah…”, I posted about discovering Now Pages when Pat shared her Now Page. Well, I’ve been working on mine a little at the time. Coding, checking code, writing, coding, checking, figuring out…
Bullet Journaling on Index Cards
I’ve loved bullet journaling since the moment I heard about it, but I’ve never been able to stick with it. It’s a wonderfully flexible way to manage your life if your brain is wired in that way. However, parts of the bullet journal system don’t work for me. I love how simple and effective rapid…
When Enjoyment Becomes Obligation
This morning, I read an excellent blog post about how the Author goes through periods of reading and periods of not reading, and his feelings about it. His experience mirrors my own, but not just with reading. I experience this with most kinds of media. There’s an ebb and flow to my personal media consumption,…
Dear Diary, Blah Blah Blah…
Dear Diary (and whoever else just happens to stumble across this blog post), Today was a good day. It didn’t go completely as planned, but that doesn’t change the fact that it was a good day. It was my day and I get to say if it was good or not right? It started out…
More Than a Mug
“The feel of a perfectly shaped coffee mug as it’s cupped in both hands. Warm. Cozy. Comfort.”, a quote from my about page, in the section about things that bring me joy. It’s a simple thing, but sometimes I think there’s more joy to be squeezed from those little moments that could go unnoticed, except…
A life Well Lived Starts with Letting Go
When people decide they want to change their lives, the first thing most do is start adding good habits. They might start by taking a walk a few times a day or by tracking their water intake. Some people might set a goal to read more often. The specific goal doesn’t really matter, it’s that…
Hygge: The Danish Art of a Life Well Lived
How is Hygge Pronounced? Like most pages that mention hygge, I’m going to start by explaining how to say it, because I think understanding the pronunciation will also help you understand the meaning of the word. When I was learning about hygge, I wanted to be able to pronounce it like a native Danish speaker.…
Why I Deleted My Instagram Account
Last night I deleted my Instagram account, not just disabled, but deleted. Technically, it won’t be completely gone until after the waiting period, but there’s no going back for me. Why did I delete my account, you ask? Well, let’s rewind a little. On October 20, 2025, just 17 days ago, I landed on boffosocko.com…
Where the Tide Speaks
This post is part of the November IndieWeb Carnival, hosted by Alex Cirac, and the topic is Cycles and fluctuations. Seasons mark the end and the beginning. It doesn’t matter if you’re talking about seasons in nature, life, or even seasons of your favorite TV show. The fact that there is a beginning and an…
Rest Little Drummer Boy
[Poetry] A Haiku in remembrance of my dad.
A Blooming Digital Garden
Recently, I discovered a concept that fascinates me: the digital garden, while reading this post about them. Digital Gardens are living websites (or, in my case, a blog post) that grow organically over time by linking notes and ideas together. A regular blog post is written, published, and more often than not, forgotten about. A…
Cadence
[Poetry] A Haiku about nature and time.
Hackers(1995) and Other Movies About Misfits
This blog post is an entry for the October 2025 IndieWeb Movie Club, and the movie for this month is Hackers(1995), hosted by Benji. The first time I watched the movie Hackers was when it came out on VHS, or shortly after. I was around 14 or 15, and I loved the movie. At the…
100 Day Blogging Challenge: Shipping My Words (Because Apparently You’re Not a Mindreader…Yet)
Recently, I’ve been page-surfing on the Indieweb.org wiki, and a couple of days ago, I discovered the 100 Days Project page (100 day challenges). I immediately wanted to do one where I blog daily for 100 days to get me into a regular habit of posting. I struggle a lot with putting my work out…
