These were specific books I had in mind to read on certain themes, mostly software design. I&#8217;ve gotten more organized about my reading, so I&#8217;m pretty sure I&#8217;ll actually get through them.<\/p>\n<p>Right now I&#8217;m on <em>Domain-Driven Design<\/em> by Eric Evans. Although it&#8217;s about software development, it applies to several other areas I care about. I&#8217;m considering it the first in my series of books on analysis.<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;m also reading <em>Learning UML 2.0<\/em> by Kim Hamilton and Russ Miles, because I&#8217;m tired of not understanding everyone&#8217;s diagrams.<\/p>\n<h2>Worship team<\/h2>\n<p>\ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;ll be in town for our church&#8217;s Advent Orchestra performance, so I signed up to play.

I&#8217;m glad it&#8217;s all coming to light. I can only imagine the horrible situations the victims faced, and I hope it leads to widespread cultural changes. This is obviously a very big problem.<\/p>\n<p>But I also feel for innocent people who may get swept up in the tide of accusations. It&#8217;s the kind of possibility that pushes my buttons, because I value being a safe person for others, but I&#8217;m also not perfect at social interactions, and I worry about being negatively misunderstood. It doesn&#8217;t help seeing some people <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/EmilyLindin\/status\/933073784822579200\">dismiss<\/a> these kinds of concerns.<\/p>\n<p>I had a couple of low days last week thinking about all this, but a good talk with Jeremy at dinner helped me back up.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Project generator \ud83d\ude42 I actually worked on this a bit.
