Welcome

After no real rain for weeks, the monsoon rain finally arrived. For 20 minutes the heavy bands of rain blanketed the mountainside. Waterfalls coerced down from high places. Sheets finally banded across the trees. Large droplets turned pools to lakes. The drop in temperature, led to sensations and new smells. Flashes surprised, thunder rumbled.

Its evening and its warm and I am learning Big O Expential Time under Aspen leaves looking up on the mountain at a chairlift and watitching the white cloud move in front of a and blue sky background. It is so warm here that I can feel it get cooler with the sun setting behind the cloud. I am looking forward to running up the mountain, hopefully in a couple of days....

I am still working on BootDev, almost done with Python. Then I go to C memory management, then Go then SQL then a couple other things… then im done! But on the flip coin, I am needing to learn Godot and art skills for video game development. I am starting to think I need to spend less time with BootDev and more time on Godot, as my Godot goals are to increasing to help code CRG, Sauna, River and Coorie games....

Listening to Shonan Beach FM and jazz while doing boot.dev is great. Its fun to hear Japanese and jazz music that I would normally never hear. Easy listening for learning hard code. Its also nice to use Shortwave radio player to easily listen to it. Sometimes I also pull up their webcam: https://www.beachfm.co.jp/radio/ Overall, its cool.

For video game development, it feels like your building plane while flying. Like flying a plane, checklists are key. Some of the goals that I want to check for any of the games I might make: Is Game loop fun? Have a educational/historical component? Highlight advocacy for sustainability (like trains, or environment or construction) Play the video game twice a week, write down bugs, features, thoughts or hopes. Create Youtube video or social media post or reach out to game reviewers....
