This post kind of pissed me off. It’s written to make people who can own physical media feel guilt for doing so. It has no point other than that. Because what should we feel about it? Should we stop trying to own physical media because there are people out there who can’t? Should we give all of our possessions away...

This guy continually does things to his website that make me envious of his talent at development. It’s not just the music scrobbling or the slash pages (most of which I’ve blatantly copied here on my blog), it’s the ecosystem he’s built, and the control it has given him over his data. It’s truly awe inspiring....

As I get more into the analogue life with my field journal, I’m beginning to understand the appeal of moving away from a pure digital lifestyle. I like the balance that doing some things outside of the computer/smartphone brings my life. I want to add more of that. But some people take this too far. Now, people can...

Maybe it’s because I edit for a living, but I hate editing my own blog posts. I write them, why should I also have to edit them? 😢 But I do it. Maybe I don’t do it as well as I do it for my job, but I do it. I think mostly it’s shame that drives it. I don’t want to put something out there, even if its for free on my...

I pre-ordered the original Steamdeck right when it was announced. I cancelled that, but ended up pre-ordering it again. My biggest draw to this handheld gaming machine was that it is a gaming machine meant for the masses that runs Linux. I’m a Linux guy. I also figured I could make some content about the Steamdeck...

I have too many keyboards. But the real travesty of it all is that I have too many keycaps. And none of them are stored properly. I have a tote full of keycaps, none of them collected by set, just mixed together. What kind of monster does that? Apparently, that’s me. The thing is, I don’t know what to do about it....

During a break today, I watched a YouTube video about how to promote yourself, and the creator talked about newsletters. Now, maybe I’m out of touch, but I thought newsletters were a thing of the past. I know anything like that on my end goes right to spam. I also don’t sign up for newsletters, so maybe that’s why I...

When the whole fidget spinner was was going around a few years ago, I laughed at it just like everyone else did. After all, this thing was a toy, and usually an expensive one. Those going on about the benefits were probably easily distracted. Like cats. But I got to tell you, I have a thing for fidget spinners. I...

Right now, my bookmarks are a mess. Most of my content that I save for reading later comes from FreshRSS, so I have about 500 “bookmarks” or starred files there. I also have my browser bookmarks that aren’t nearly as bad as I’ve kept them very organized. I also use linkding for a read-it-later service. So, my...

I’ve been doing so well. I’ve been blogging every day now for over a month. But today, it has been a long day, and my brain is empty. I have a list of posts I want to do, but no ambition to actually write them. Instead, you get this. Me blogging about blogging, again. At a certain point, the daily bloggers out there...

I’m one page away from filling up my first little field notes notebook. I wrote about a month ago about my attempt at using field notes as an supplementary note taking method. I’ve talked since then in a video about how this has become a little bit of an obsession and how it has kind of changed the way I do things....

Not a long post today. Just me crying about my football team being horrible. We won the Super Bowl last year. We shouldn’t be so bad the year after that when we have so much talent. But they’re losing to the lowly NY Giants who are playing a rookie QB and don’t have their best WR. It’s sad. Six weeks into the season...
