Last Friday, I took Dani to the urgent care vet. They were close to closing, but were kind enough to see him. Dani was relatively cooperative and, in the end, it didn’t end up being anything serious. I was really appreciative that they saw him. It was a long weekend of him not feeling 100% … Continue reading “Thanks For Being Nice?”

I don’t believe God has ever written a bill or passed a law in the United States. Until he does, I think deferring responsibility to him is shameful and makes one unfit to serve in government.

It’s not really done but I made a little download time calculator. If you punch in your download size in GB and then your download speed in MB, it’ll tell you roughly how long it’ll take to download. I used MB for download as I think that’s a pretty common standard for home internet. I … Continue reading “I Made a Little Download Time Calculator”

Hey reader. It’s been a bit. I’m sorry about that. It’s been a little busy. My last post was on January 16th. Lightfall came out on February 28th. Probably pretty obvious why I was away from the blog for a bit. If you saw the Destiny 2 Year in Review or the Subclass Moments, I’m … Continue reading “I’m Here”

Since Musk took over Twitter, I’ve had a couple of blog posts explaining that Twitter just…feels different now and not in a good way. It’s not the only website that I sense has grown far beyond what it should be. I’ve blogged in the past how different Facebook feels now compared to when it first … Continue reading “Hey so I’m over on Mastodon now”

I’m 30 today. I suppose that’s a milestone birthday. Doesn’t feel any different than 29. Why would it? 29 was yesterday. I do recognized that Father Time is undefeated and I need to develop some better habits to assist in my longevity. Thankfully, I’m not starting from 0 so that’s a good thing.

I’m trying to build a website for my dog. The plan is not very complicated. I’d like to just have a masonry layout of photos of him, and when you click one, a lightbox opens. I’d like to set it up so I can store the photos somewhere so I can hook into a REST … Continue reading “Photos API”

We are about a month into the Elon-ification of Twitter and I’m coming to the conclusion that Twitter seems less fun now. Now, I’d argue since around 2016, Twitter has had a completely different vibe altogether and it hasn’t always been pleasant. Since Elon took over, I’ve noticed my feed is doing 3 things: Twitter … Continue reading “Twitter Sure Does Seem Less Fun Now”

Happy Thanksgiving if that’s your thing! I have some code to write and some video games to play. Not too excited for any of the NFL games this year but that’s alright. We have some (hopefully) great college football to watch and a World Cup match against England! Anyway, happy Thanksgiving.

After almost 3 years of dodging this mess, I finally caught COVID-19. Not really sure how as I work from home and don’t go very many places, but still caught it. Had an appointment for the updated booster next week too. When folks say “it’s like a bad cold” I understand where they come from … Continue reading “I finally caught COVID”
