As my New Year’s Resolution last year, I promised myself that in 2024 that I’d learn Python. As resolutions go, I did pretty good. I took several classes and coded some of my own little python scripts. Was I proficient enough to get paid for it, no. But I thought I did a pretty good job of sticking with it until...
So, I read a lot. But I’m also pretty set on the things I read. I read history, fantasy, a bit of science fiction, and lately, some HaremLit for some odd reason. So, I’ve been looking for ways of broadening my horizons a bit. I also want to be a little more social. Therefore, I went on the hunt for an online book...
Surprisingly, Ghost has started working better in the last few weeks. I had talked about how it was freezing, and I was thinking about finding a different platform, but now that it’s working, I think I’ll stick around for a bit. With that being the case, I needed a new way of letting people comment on my posts. I...
I know many people swear by their calendar. Keeping what you’re doing listed out in a timely fashion makes sense for plenty of people. For me, I want to be that type of person. Some would say, I aspire to be a calendar professional. I’ve tried for many years to be the type of person who could keep a calendar filled...
I’ve made plenty of jokes about people who overcompensate with RGB. But there is something to this trend of lighting up your room and accessories. I’ve added some to my room, and while I’ve not gone overboard, it has added to the ambiance of the room and made it feel a bit less like an office and more like a place I...
30 days of blogging in a row is hard. I almost failed today. Instead, here I am with a short, unedited post. Today, I browsed around on lunch break for some new RSS blog feeds to follow. I found some. I will probably put them in the roundup for May. I really enjoy reading blog posts by other people. Not only are...
Other people have it worse, so it often feels inappropriate to complain, but the last few days have been not great days for me. Between nonsense at work and my computer being a pain in the ass along with some family stuff, it has just been a rough few days. Everyone has those, I’m not special. But we are all the...
I was challenged by Joel to answer 10 pointless questions. I probably won’t challenge anyone else. I’ve always been uncomfortable with that. Do You Floss Your Teeth? Not as often as I should, but likely more than most people. Tea, Coffee, or Water? Water, hate the other two. I am a big milk drinker, though. Footwear...
I didn’t know what to write about today, so I asked ChatGPT for ideas based on the articles I’ve written on this blog so far. I was hopeful that even if the ideas were crap, I’d be able to take some inspiration to find something to write about. I guess in a way, I did. Though probably not what was intended. The...
A few months ago, I broke my iPhone. Like a dumbass. When that happened, what I should have done was just buy a used phone on eBay, but what I did instead (with the idea to make the device last for many years) was buy a Galaxy S25 Ultra. It was gloriously and ridiculously expensive. I, at the time, decided that I...
Twitter was once so damn cool. And I’m not going to say anything about Elon. If we’re being honest, Twitter was broken long before Space Karen took over. What Elon’s takeover of Twitter/X did do, however, was make many people look at how they allowed social media into their lives. I know, since I’m one of them. Back...
Harry Potter captured the attention of an entire generation of young men and women, and remains one of the most popular franchises ever. Even kids today, 20+ years after the first book came out, know who Harry, Hermione, and Ron are. I was in my teens when the first book came out and I, like most people my age, was...
