I’m teaching myself how to use block storage and virtual machines. Why?
- I want to become as self-reliant as possible technologically. 
- It’s an old passion of mine from when I was in high school. Do I still have a knack for it? 
- It pushes me to use my brain in ways that aren’t “artistic.” 
What I’ve learned so far:
- Damn. 
- No, I don’t have it. I am humbled at how much I get to learn. 
- It’s far more artistic than I originally thought. 
Life continues to surprise.
