A new year means a new logo. Earlier this year, I discussed PrimmLife and how to improve it for 2019. My friend Meghan offered to make a new logo for me, and you can see it below.

2018 Year End Review
2018 stared poorly, and it ended poorly. I posted a long detailed report about 2018, which detailed the challenges that I faced during the year. I'm proud of that post, but before it could be backed up, the database for my website got deleted or corrupted or whatever. My website went down for an hour … Continue reading 2018 Year End Review
Checking in December 2018
It's been an odd week. Between work and being sick, I've been very busy. Jiu Jitsu has been a lot of fun this week.

Life Update

GDPR CYA Post
GDPR, short for General Data Protection Regulation, is now in effect. The EU law concerns privacy, and though this website isn’t a business, I do get visitors from the European Union. Hello, Germany! WordPress has updated to be compliant with GDPR, and Monster Insights, which is what I use to interface with Google Analytics, is … Continue reading GDPR CYA Post
Goodbye Facebook
Last month, I decided to take a break from Facebook. I engaged in too many political debates that, while fun, were taking up too much of my ability to focus. With work increasing and turning 40, I decided its time to get rid of the Facebook distraction. Was getting off Facebook worth it? Should you … Continue reading Goodbye Facebook
Change to Review Process
When I set out to build this blog, I knew that I had a lot to learn and that only through continuous improvement would it succeed. I love reviewing books and hope to continue to be able to do so. This means improving my reviews of Advanced Review Copies (ARCs) and how I promote those … Continue reading Change to Review Process
