Top Five Books From 2016
In the past I've wanted to be a reader and yet never picked up a book. But that changed when I said yes to Bookworm. Since then I've read 16 books for Bookworm and four more on my own. And I'm on pace to read three more by year's end.

New on the blog: Time Tracker With Running Status http://joebuhlig.com/time-tracker-with-running-status/
Time Tracker With Running Status
I've been tracking where I spend my time for a while now. In the majority of cases it has been purely for personal use and decision-making, but since I have now taken a part time IT position, I need to know exactly how many hours I spend on the job and calculate whether or not I've met my expected quota for the week.
Did @IFTTT really pull the ability to share/embed a recipe/applet? That seems like a huge miss on user experience.
Sometimes I get excited when I see this list. Makes me want to block off the day and just read. https://twitter.com/bookwormfm/status/806476667317264385
This was an enlightening listener recommendation. I didn't fully realize my interest in the brain until this book. https://twitter.com/bookwormfm/status/806474258364895233

Since I'm obsessed with page load speeds lately, I set up a Cloudfront CDN for @jekyllrb but without an S3 bucket. http://joebuhlig.com/using-a-cloudfront-cdn-for-jekyll-without-s3/
Using a Cloudfront CDN for Jekyll Without S3
On occasion I find myself with a sliver of free time. And it seems inevitable that I use it to tinker with this site. Given my latest obsession with page load speeds, this time I directed my attention towards the implementation of a CDN.
I have a baby coming soon, which means it's time for a checklist. http://joebuhlig.com/a-baby-time-checklist/
A Baby Time Checklist
As I write this, my wife and I are expecting our third baby girl to join us within the next week. I wish I could say there is nothing but pure excitement in our house, but as anyone who has kids knows, there are a number of things to do once you know it is "time." Depending on your situation, which you can't predetermine, you may not have much time to accomplish everything and get out the door, so most of us put together a checklist to help us remember.
