My son and I had the “120 pepperoni” XL pizza at Burattino Brick Oven Pizza in Carson, CA. Not sure if there was 120 pepperoni pieces on this pie, but it was plenty. Good crust too.

Revised Obsidian Dataview Substring Queries in Monthly Notes

A couple of weeks ago, I posted about using Obsidian dataview queries to populate sections of my monthly notes. As I found out today, my queries were wrong.


I am grateful that my local library provided access to LinkedIn Learning long enough for me to get my Project Management Professional (PMP) professional development units (PDUs) done. A bit of a march towards the end given I lost access to Linkedin Learning after September 30, but it all worked out and saved me some cash.

It appears that my access to LinkedIn Learning via my local library will disappear after September 30 due to the grant supplying that access ending. I am grateful that I have had six or so months of access to LinkedIn Learning using this grant to work on completing my PMP PDUs before my October deadline. Looks like I have three days to finish 8.75 PDUs, so my weekend is set :)
