Something I think about a lot is how the ~vibes~ of the internet have changed. Sure, I’ve gotten older which certainly changes my perspective over time but we are blessed with the tools to see how these things change. They’re recorded. I visit the Wayback Machine on the Internet Archive, a couple of times a … Continue reading “The Changed Vibes Through Visuals”

I’ve written before that I’m a big fan of autumn. It’s my favorite season. Now that we are firmly into autumn territory…and close enough to the technical definition of autumn, I thought I’d blog about it a little. People tend to think of spring, or perhaps New Year’s, as a time of renewal. For me, … Continue reading “Autumn”

What color hardware do you enjoy? I’ve always liked the look of white hardware. I’m sure it’s in part due to my love of the Xbox 360. My current iPhone is white. I like that my Xbox Series S and PS5 are white. I will say that I will opt for white first, generally. However … Continue reading “White Hardware”

I think I’m going to mess around and use light mode this week. I’m 50/50 on where I use it vs. where I use dark mode. Light mode Dark Mode I think the biggest adjustment will be in VS Code. Oh well it’ll be fun. Remember when tech was fun?

It’s been a long couple of weeks so I’m taking tomorrow off. I’m fortunate to work somewhere, where I can do that. I’ve actually been very fortunate in that regard, throughout my career. I enjoy the game of “when was the last time I set my out of office”. I always end up surprising myself … Continue reading “Out of Office”

He states “It’s the … Continue reading “A Response To David Pierce’s “So Where Are We All Supposed to go Now”.”

Hi everyone. I missed last week. I don’t know…just didn’t have the motivation. Cool things happened, I just couldn’t sit down and write about them. As such, I’ll try to include some items from the past 2 weeks as a catch-up. Ranked Slayer in Halo Infinite. Ranked Slayer was my bread and butter growing up. … Continue reading “Things I Thought Were Cool This Week – 7/2/2023 Edition”

I’m going to try a new thing. I want to start sharing cool things I find throughout the week, and I’ll drop them in a blog post on Sundays. Since I came up with this idea today, the first edition here might be a little weak but over time I hope to come up with … Continue reading “Things I Thought Were Cool This Week – 6/11/2023 Edition”

This Pride month, a trend has developed that is driving me insane. There is a response to almost any LBTQ+ topic that goes something like “Just leave kids alone”. I’ve seen it too much. It’s silly, it’s harmful, it’s (usually) just a smokescreen. Take this report from NBC News, and you’ll see the trend I’m … Continue reading “Actually Protecting Kids”

I was inspired by this post from Chris Coyer, What Works From You. There was a line that was remarkable simple but it really struck a chord with me. “That fella’s very honest approach of we do what works for us is a nice sentiment. While perhaps easier said than done, I like how it … Continue reading “What Works For You – Personal Edition”
