# Second Brain **Currently Playing:** [[Umineko]] | **Reading:** [[The Singularity is Nearer]]³ | **Watching:** [[Dandadan]] | [[Don't Stop Blowing Up]] Hi! I'm Kim Freechack, a software engineer living in Saint Paul, MN with my husband, Nick, and two cats, Miso and Kanna. I am attempting to shed my last bit of shame and shyness. We're finally going to try this "thinking out loud" thing, otherwise known as "learning in public" or ["working with the garage door up"](https://notes.andymatuschak.org/About_these_notes?stackedNotes=z21cgR9K3UcQ5a7yPsj2RUim3oM2TzdBByZu). Not that I've had a motorcycle in my garage to work on since totaling it this summer 🙃 I am sick of losing track of cool things almost as soon as they've entered my brain. This should at the very least be easier to keep up with than a blog I update once a year and rebuild from scratch every other. ##### Socials - [Email](mailto:[email protected]) - ~~Twitter~~ [Bluesky](https://bsky.app/profile/kimicalburn.bsky.social) - [GitHub](https://github.com/kimthompson)¹ - [FFXIV](https://na.finalfantasyxiv.com/lodestone/character/11739910/) ##### Footnotes ² 1. I've switched to husband's more SEO-friendly surname for most purposes, but the fact that I joined GitHub so early I snagged `kimthompson` still fills me with such joy that I can't bear to change it. 2. Footnotes, on a welcome page? Yes, I like them. Without them these drafts would be filled with parentheticals. 3. This one's a hate read, unfortunately
