I relate so much to this post by Musings of a Tangled Mind. every single night, without fail, I set 27 alarms on my phone for the next morning — each one five minutes apart — convinced that this time I’ll wake up on the first one. I never do. I don’t even wake up on the last one. Snooze is my friend. You know, that...

I don’t know what I’m doing when it comes to music. I currently have subscriptions to (though admittedly a couple of them are free trials): Apple Music, Spotify, Tidal, YouTube Music, Amazon Prime Music, Plex, Deezer, and I’m sure there is probably one or two I’m forgetting. I’m going through what amounts to a...

For the longest time, I wanted speakers for my desk setup. I used to have this crappy set of Logitech computer speakers, but they burnt out long ago. For years after that happened, I used a good quality set of headphones at my desktop computer. I don’t mind this, really. It gets the job done and I don’t have to...

I am not as confident driving as I once was. I work from home, so I don’t go out as much as I used to. I’ve talked about this a little either in a post here or on the podcast, but I just don’t feel like I’m as good a driver as I once was. One of the things that I’ve really noticed over the last few years is that I...

I’m not a self-reflective type person. I never really have been. I have aspired to be so at times during my life – usually during times where I’m dissatisfied with the direction things are going. But it’s never really been something I’m good at or good at following through with. I have a tendency to say I’m going to...

So, I’ve been doing this blogging thing for a few months now, and now that I have the transition to Hugo done and the theme sorted out, and comments (see below!) sorted out, it’s time to make the process of blogging easier. The first task is to make it easier to actually create a markdown file with all the Hugo...

In my never ending quest to track all things, I’ve been looking into ways of gathering even more data about my day, my habits, and my workflow. I’ve been keeping a to do list for years (using Todoist), but it doesn’t do so much with stats. And really, there are days where I mark things off without actually doing...

I really didn’t expect my transition to Hugo from Ghost to be so difficult. Let me be clear, the moving over wasn’t really that hard. With a some python work, it was easy enough to get my Ghost posts here to Hugo. There were a few bumps, but nothing I didn’t anticipate. I had to forward a few URLS so that my RSS...

A week ago, I made a post talking about my note-taking problem. In that post, I talked about the mess that my note-taking solution has been over the last couple of years. Then I talked about how the solution I came up with was Obsidian and an app called Quillpad. I’ve been using it for about a week now, and I have...

So, you might notice something a bit changed around here. For the last several months, I’ve been using Ghost since April, and I’ve liked it. It is very robust, has lots of features, and is very easy to use and maintain. It is also very easy to write in. But, there has been a bug in my ear almost since the beginning....

Over on my blog for The Linux Cast, I recently wrote about AntennaPod, my new favorite way to listen to podcasts. Not only is it awesome, but it’s open-source. When I was done writing that post, I thought it would be appropriate to talk about my favorite podcasts. I subscribe to about 150 podcasts, most of which...

Many people have been writing about their blogging workflow, so I thought I’d add mine to the mix as well. I’ll be honest, when I saw this trend, I didn’t think much of it. I mean, workflow? For blogging? Do we not all just sit down and write? Turns out other people are much more organized than I am. That shouldn’t...
