i've lived in a few different places, but nothing compares to the food scene here. it's not just about the bbq (though the bbq is insane), it's about the variety. one day i'm eating vegan donuts and the next i'm at a food truck that only sells different types of mac and cheese. the community is so supportive too—everyone wants to see the local spots succeed. as a student, it's the perfect way to explore the city outside of the campus bubble. i'm just trying to eat my way through every zip code b

sometimes i just want to eat my burger without taking 50 photos of it first. the pressure to make everything look 'perfect' for the video is so real. i've had so many cold meals because i was trying to find the right angle for the cheese pull. it's a weird hobby, but i love sharing these spots with everyone. it feels like i'm helping people find their new favorite place. but tbh, sometimes the best meals are the ones you don't post about. the ones where you're just laughing with friends and the

everyone says college students live on ramen, but in austin, we live on tacos. i've spent the last two years mapping out every single happy hour and 'free food' event on campus. the secret is finding the spots that the locals go to, not the tourists. there's this one place that gives you a free taco if you show up in a costume on tuesdays—guess who has a permanent pirate outfit in their car? honestly, it's all about the hunt. you can find some of the best food in the world in the back of a gas s

i get so many questions about what tools i use for my bujo. the truth is, you don't need a hundred markers to start. you just need a notebook and a pen you actually like writing with. but if you want to level up the aesthetic, here are my top three essentials. first, a high-quality dotted notebook. the dots are lowkey the most important part because they give you a grid without being distracting. second, a set of mild highlighters. the colors are so much softer than regular ones and they don't s

college can be so overwhelming, fr. between classes, part-time jobs, and trying to have a social life, i was lowkey drowning in sticky notes and missed deadlines. then i discovered bullet journaling. it’s not just about the pretty drawings (though that helps the vibe), it’s about having one single place for everything. my brain feels so much lighter when i can just flip to a page and see exactly what needs to happen. i started with a super simple layout because i didn't want to feel pressured to

We had a great morning at the local library's story time. It's one of the highlights of our week. The kids love the songs and the stories, and it's a good way for them to interact with other children. I enjoy seeing them get so excited about books. It's a small thing, but it feels like we're building a good foundation for their future.

There's a bit of a learning curve when it comes to managing a household. I've had to improve my cooking skills and figure out a cleaning routine that actually works. It's not always perfect; there are days when the house is a mess and we have cereal for dinner. But as long as the kids are happy and healthy, I consider it a win. I'm also grateful for the other parents I've met at the park who offer advice and a bit of adult conversation.

I've also realized the importance of taking a little time

Switching to being a stay-at-home dad was a big adjustment for our family, but it's been one of the most rewarding experiences of my life. I used to spend my days in an office with meetings and spreadsheets, and now my days are filled with finger painting and playground trips. It's a different kind of busy, and it's definitely more physically demanding, but I wouldn't trade these moments with my kids for anything.

I've learned that patience is a skill you have to practice every single day. Todd

2026-04-21T14:22:53+02:00

VO2 max is a measure of your body's ability to utilize oxygen, and it's a key indicator of cardiovascular fitness. I track my VO2 max in the app to see how my training is affecting my overall fitness. I've also started paying more attention to my recovery scores to ensure I'm not overdoing it.

I've learned that rest is just as important as training. If my recovery score is low, I'll take a rest day or do a very light recovery ride. This helps me avoid injury and burnout. My tracker gives me the

Building an aerobic base is like building the foundation of a house. Without a strong base, you won't be able to reach your full potential in terms of speed and power. I spend a lot of my training time in Zone 2 to build my endurance and efficiency. I use my tracker to monitor my heart rate and my power output simultaneously.

I've noticed a significant improvement in my ability to sustain long rides and to recover from intense efforts. It’s a long-term process, but the results are worth it. I'm

2026-04-21T13:12:48+02:00

As a cyclist, I'm always looking for ways to improve my performance and endurance. I've started using heart rate zone training to help me train more effectively. Zone 2 training, which is about 60-70% of your maximum heart rate, is crucial for building a strong aerobic base. I use an app to monitor my heart rate in real-time and to ensure I'm staying in the right zone.

I've found that by spending more time in Zone 2, I can improve my VO2 max and my overall cardiovascular health. It's not always

Frameworks are great until they become dogmatic. In my current role as a Product Manager, I've started experimenting with a 'minimalist' approach to project management. We've stripped back our Figma workflows to the bare essentials. Instead of complex tagging systems, we use simple status columns. Instead of daily stand-ups that last 45 minutes, we do a quick check-in on Figma. The results? Higher d

After a decade in the industry, you'd think I'd have it all figured out. But the truth is, the landscape of User research, roadmaps, backlog grooming changes so fast that you're always a student.

In the last few years, the way we approach User research, roadmaps, backlog grooming has fundamentally shifted. As a Product Manager, I've seen first-hand how the transition to hybrid work has forced us to rethink our entire stack.
