Please write more.

Not just on social media, FB, Twitter, whatever. Write on your own sites and blogs. On your tumblrs, wordpresses, whatever. Long-form, rambling, incessant. The world could use more sincere blogging.

Survey: Do you have an active personal blog? Can you provide a link? Not one of those things where you're trying to earn money from the site, just casual blogging about whatever. I'd especially like to see any long-running blogs.

Echoing my pinned post from twitter (https://twitter.com/roytang/status/905431727681572865): If anyone has any questions about Java, Python, Django, Sql, Javascript/node and general software dev stuff, especially for Pinoys, I'm willing to answer where I can. 15 yrs industry experience :)

Watched Kate (2021). Straightforward John Wick-style action film, with a promise that the protag dies. Mary Elizabeth Winstead gives a fantastic performance. There's some great fight and camera work, and some great use of Tokyo as the backdrop for the movie.
