Mood: Ready to parry. Snap-hiss. It is arguably the most recognized sound effect in cinema history. Ben Burtt, the genius sound designer for Star Wars, created it by recording the idle motor of an old movie projector and mixing it with the electromagnetic hum of a television picture tube. To most people, that sound...

Mood: Aggressively dorky and entirely unbothered. There is a singular word I would love to ban from everywhere. It has transformed from a nice and descriptive literary word into shorthand internet speak. There is always a certain attitude that follows this word. Everyone that uses the phrase, "that's cringe," hates...

The call comes in completely unexpectedly, as, I'm sure, all great things do. It’s Ray. He knows I wanted to come over to his house today, but he asks me if I want to have him come over here to my apartment complex, today. Usually, I don't like for people to come here because my apartment isn't exactly the best...

GitHub, and by extension, other git based websites are very popular because they all have version control. I've decided to make this small guide on how to download things from GitHub just in case someone might need a resource somewhere for screen reader users.

Throwback note. I am fully blind now, so I listen to a lot of audio described Let's Plays so I can still enjoy the stories Begin old piece. One of the first things that people notice when they flip on their consoles are the catchy intro sequences; the flashy animations of the screen. Videogames have a quantified...

Mood: Ferociously hopeful, buzzing like a perfectly tuned bass string. Come. Sit. Take a walk with me as I imagine the world I wish to live in. The rhythmic, oscillating thrum of rotors shears through the humid air. The scent of hot yeast and melted cheese arrives from the sky. I position myself on the porch. I...

This has been updated with better links, better commands, and some extra optional advanced configuration tutorials. Notes about writing manuscripts in Markdown are after the conversion tutorials. You can also find other Shun Manuscript templates on this website Introduction. I love Markdown. I love it so much that...

Mood: Tired. Just tired of it all. The air always tastes of exhausted ozone and venture capital these days. It's a cloying stench that's polluting the beautiful bedrock of society. Tech Bros are currently engineering the loudest, most abrasive reality possible. They are building a surveillance state so privacy will...

This won't be a lengthy post. It will consist of a small update and a brief explanation regarding why I am no longer publishing Sightless Scribbles to YouTube. For those that do follow my YouTube channel, you might have noticed that I began streaming again. I won't stream every day. My one hobby is reading and...

Throwback notes. This was previously published on the Libro FM blog. I've edited one word, and have chosen not to link to the audiobook I am mentioning because of what surfaced about this author in 2026. I’ll be the first to tell you that I have a list of audiobooks for almost any reading taste. Comic books are a...
