Life has a funny way of happening sometimes. You have the highs and the lows, and you never know what is coming next.

I felt pretty high on the first week of the year, a stark contrast to how Jan 2025 felt. Then the world went to shit, and it effected me more than usual.

From the nationwide protest in Iran, to the ICE-ical gestapo in the US, and just constant dread for the world. Someone I care about is in Iran, and then when the internet blackout happened it caused us to be disconnected for two weeks. I didn't know if they were alive or not.

Thus my strong first week of content production, and activating my goals. They fell more towards the wayside, as I maneuvered how I was feeling and my emotions.

What am I doing... NOW? February 2026

I still think that Q1 of this year is solely focused around two things, and they go hand in hand really:

  1. The Content Blitz
  2. The PIOS Vault product

The content planning is done, that took a week longer than expected, but I have the whole year (and a bit of 2027) planned. Additionally, I have a line of sprints for me to do, and once I get those done I'll have half of the year schedule. I just hope it doesn't take me half a year to do them again.

The vault is almost complete, the main structure already is, and most of the notes. I just have a mini course built in it that I need to finish, and get the ecommerce portion set up.

I went back to a bit of a stock look for simplicity's sake.

In a bigger view MACRO, What's Coming up

The whole of Q1 I have set for those two goals/projects, but ideally I'd get done quicker. I.e. probably by the end of Feb for the Blitz for example. Probably end of the week for the PIOS vault.

After that I need to re-evaluate what goals am I working towards THIS YEAR.

Each quarter being it's own "12 week year", and changing my mindset to accommodate that. When you break it down like that, then it allows for more time restrictive (in a good way) planning. Thus you don't over-allocate time to tasks that don't need that much to begin with.

I'm planning on two events this year: NABshow, and Vidsummit.

Ideally, maybe one more trip perhaps to Europe or SE Asia.

I don't have more for you for now, but I got a lot I can accomplish this year. I think the next quarter will focus on the exercise book. Try to finally get that finished, and then another big project afterwards.

As I get further and further down the AI rabbit hole again. I found myself pulling up a ton of tabs, and I wanted to share with you all what I am watching. Let me know what you think!

Literally made this post today because of what I am learning.

I've also been digging into Raspberry Pi clusters for some reason.
