+
+I changed up the format last week. In a way, it's a little more freeing because I don't have to group everything with like things, necessarily. Plus, it gives me a chance to play around with looser organization.
+
+With everything we have to move, most of my time and efforts at home at spent on that and not on the blog. Which makes sense - life sometimes has other priorities.

+### Conferences IRL
+
+Local Ghost - [You should go to conferences](https://localghost.dev/blog/you-should-go-to-conferences/?utm_source=changelog-news)
+
+My general rule is to go to one in-person conference a year, if possible. I've certainly met my quota this year with !!Con. There are some I think I want to go to next year if possible, but of course, travel is a lot of work too.

+1. [Endurance: Shackleton's Incredible Voyage](https://www.amazon.com/Endurance-Shackletons-Incredible-Alfred-Lansing/dp/0465062881/ref=asc_df_0465062881/?tag=hyprod-20&linkCode=df0&hvadid=693033695460&hvpos=&hvnetw=g&hvrand=9437998437457666889&hvpone=&hvptwo=&hvqmt=&hvdev=m&hvdvcmdl=&hvlocint=&hvlocphy=9061321&hvtargid=pla-433973059586&psc=1&mcid=035635b5f8bf35f48d7ed4ab3addee30) by Alfred Lansing and Nathaniel Philbrick
+   - This came up because there's this YouTube channel I started exploring about going to speed running every BART station stop. The current time to beat is 5 hrs 10 mins. I created my own wiki page to see how crazy this is and where people have attempted these riding challenges. Turns out, there are so many. Also, this book is a reminder in creating challenges for ourselves.
+2. [Never Play It Safe: A Practical Guide to Freedom, Creativity, and a Life You Love](https://www.amazon.com/Never-Play-Safe-Practical-Creativity/dp/0062879995) by Chase Jarvis
+   - I've read at least one of Chase's book
+
+And one newsletter
