Hello, my name is Charity. I live in Canada and work as a nurse. This blog is for sharing snippets of what I'm up to in my life and how I am seeking ...
I've fallen horribly behind on my posting. I had planned on posting more but life is very busy. Right now I'm working on an Obsidian plugin called 'Projects & Progress Bars'. I've hit an impasse with a bunch of my projects and I need a new mechanism to help keep me on track. I'm vibe coding it since I'm not a programmer and I don't know how to code. The vibe coding seems to be coming along nicely…
I have so many projects on the go but I get overwhelmed with them very easily. I am not a programmer or developer and I know very little code. But recently I vibe coded a health management app that lives locally on my computer and it has been working really well for me. It tracks my calories and exercise per day and even has a little coaching button which helps me maintain motivation. I prefer…
One of the things I love to do is type. I guess, because I'm good at it, it enables a flow state for me. But this is another skill that likely won't be around in a hundred years. It doesn't make a whole lot of sense to learn to type when we can use an AI stenographer for everything. But for now I don't want to. When AI first came out I was using it, or trying to learn how to use it, for some…
I still have my substack at the moment. I initially wrote this to post here but I decided to publish it and send it out via email to my current subscribers there instead. Here is a link if you're interested in reading it. Living in Death's Shadow
I'd like to try to post here every day but I know I won't be able to keep up with full essay-like posts every day so I've decided that sometimes I'll just post a quote from a book that I'm reading and share that with you. Sometimes I'll include a few quick thoughts on it. This is from Ernest Becker's The Denial of Death . It's from the preface and I think it's worth sharing. It's incredible that…
Nothing lasts. I skip around the internet from one interesting topic to the other and I see that nothing lasts. As I read my emails, I think to myself "wouldn't this be a cool thing to do a deep dive into?" and then I get distracted and move on to the next thing that catches my eye. For example, this morning I started reading about a new book on AI called 'Beautiful Particulars' and felt I wanted…
I am a nurse by trade but I'm learning more about computers because I want to try to understand the world I live in. Computers completely dominate my world. For most of the day I'm working on them both at home and at work and it occurred to me that I have no idea how they work or where they came from. I've learned that, underneath it all, computers are just a series of switches, albeit billions of…
This is my inaugural post on this blog. I have given up on trying to break into the commercial writing market as I'm not comfortable with what I have to do to be successful there. Instead I have decided to move off the commercial internet and take up residence here on the small internet. I'm starting with this blog today. I don't have a lot of time to make this post shiny and well-crafted as I…
