# Purpose

Inspired by [Bryan Braun's](https://www.bryanbraun.com/books/) book review list,

My Book Reviews


# Purpose

Details some things for me to think about when (for my current employer, I mean
"if") I need to make a job change. These things can easily be forgotten, and
took me some time to gather when I made my first job shift, so I want to
document them here to remind myself.

# Purpose

Quick summary for me on how I should best utilize an HSA and why. Other's have
already written about what an HSA is and the benefits of an HSA way better than
I can (see the [references](#references)), and I'd rather not regurgitate what

The HSA


# Purpose

Details my life goals/bucket list, committed to git so I can't back outta them
like a wuss in my later years (that's right future Alan, I know you're thinking
about wussing out, DON'T do it). As far as I know I only have this one life, and

My Awesome Personal Site


# Purpose

Document why you should care about sleep, and what helps you sleep well to live
a long and happy life.

# Why do I care

[NUMEROUS][sleep-search] [sites][sleep-site], [videos][sleep-videos], and
experts preach the overwhelming benefits of sleep, and yet, so few people
actually value it with common sayings as "you can sleep when you're dead". But
what if you die sooner without sleep?

# Purpose

Details the creation of my [One Dollar Site](/), tech used, and lessons learned.

I wanted to work on my webapp skills, and figured one of the easiest things I
could make was a one dollar site, and I was kinda right!
