Good morning from SeaTac airport

I got up even earlier than I had planned because I was within an hour of my alarm and at that point my body won't let me go back to sleep. So here I am, mildly caffeinated, and sitting at a power outlet for a few hours before my flight.
On Psychology & a Rewrite
Last night, as I was tweaking Glowbug code, I began thinking I might just need to start new on the backend. The current system is five years old at this point and while it is still quite serviceable, there are also quality of life things I need to work on which I keep putting off because I just don't want to wade into the code.
The irony, of course, being that a complete rewrite would be magnitudes more work.
Brains are funny that way.
Flight Entertainment
As mentioned, I am at the airport with a day of travel ahead of me. I've loaded up on entertainment so expect some reviews once I land:
Movies & TV
- MAX's Chernobyl - I didn't watch it when it came out, but I've finally relented and have it downloaded
- Dropout's recent episodes - I watch most Dropout shows and I'm behind from this past week
Podcast
- Worlds Beyond Number - I listen to this amazing podcast on and off, mostly off. But I've got ten episodes downloaded in case I decide to binge it while I fly.
Books
Too many. I'll list some, but I checked last night and I carry nearly 3 gigs of ebooks on my reader.
- The Shortest History of Economics by Andrew Leigh [currently reading and enjoying]
- How to Clone a Mammoth by Beth Shapiro
- Reality is Not What it Seems by Carlo Rovelli
- The Rise and Fall of the Dinosaurs by Steve Brusatte
- This Strange Eventful History by Claire Messud
- Contagious: Why Things Catch On by Jonah Berger
- A Beautifully Foolish Endeavor by Hank Green
- The Light Ages: The Surprising Story of Medieval Science by Seb Falk
- Bear: Myth, Animal, Icon by Wolf Storl
Really, the list goes on. I am an eclectic reader and I have an addiction to acquiring ebooks for my virtual library.
And now I must go in search of more caffeine.
