I am newly in love with the idea of a postroll here in the first few days of 2026. I’ve sung their praises in the past, and I’ve got one of my own on this site (which I intend to make more quickly accessible in future layout updates). I...

Watch out: a new website appears! Yesterday I published the ninenteeth official version of this website and this time round it’s inspired by the work I’ve done on developer tools these last few years. It’s my own personal IDE: you can...

A man in my community was recently convicted on animal cruelty charges after strangling a cat to death. This was an awful thing for someone to do, and I hate what happened to the kitty. I commented on a local news story, about the...
Well... after 2+ weeks headache/migraine free, here I am again trying to tame one. Which leaves me with one culprit which I am going to test as of tomorrow... maybe I cannot have milk after all. Thank you for following my feed! ♥ Leave a...
Today I am six months nicotine-free. I never thought I'd make it this far, honestly. Every day it gets easier, but there are still many triggers. It's crazy how much I notice smoking in media I watch. Every time I see someone smoking a...
The last time I wrote a year in review was in 2019. I ended it with “have a healthy 2020” and we all know how that went. Since it does feel like we’ve been living in hell since 2020 I somehow stopped writing yearly reviews. But I have...

My crafting time usually coincides with less work on online these days, so in my relative absence I’ve been doing a lot of sewing, and a little bit of crocheting. These are all wearables for me (and one is a gift), some out of necessity,...
A few days ago I got a set of Tarkir and Bloomburrow commander precons in. I broke them all down and listed the singles this weekend so I had over 60 orders to pull and fill today. Took 3 hours to sort and pack them. That's only about...

My first paid streaming service was MOG. I joined in October 2010, paying $4.99 a month (!) and really liked it. The interface was a little odd and the way the queue operated took some getting used to, but it was a quirky service with...
毀滅之花 陽台可以是在台灣,也可以是在巴黎。橘色的金屬桌與綠色的金屬椅,在陽台上被拖動時會發出刺耳的刮擦聲。被揉爛的 Gauloises 與 Gitanes 香菸盒。一半的起司三明治,中間被咬了一口。香菸屁股散落在一個 Maddox of California 的菸灰缸裡,那是一片沙漠般的荒原。枯萎的雛菊正在度假,度假地點是那種永恆而淨化的光澤——你會在《電影筆記》(Cahiers du Cinéma)五月號封面,還有一本黑市流通的《Cactus...
We waste an enormous amount of energy trying to distinguish between things we must accept and things we should change. Traditional philosophy calls this the “dichotomy of control,” but it rarely tells you how to tell the difference...
Those who have been following along may know that I started this blog as a way to escape social media and bring back an old form of online connections through blogs and RSS. In my opinion it has been super successful and I've thoroughly...
Read on the website: There are narrow screen CSS problems I often email people because of. These three fixes should be enough for most.
Windbringer's internal clock tells me that, as I write this the calendar date is 27 December 2025. To be honest, I kind of lost track of the date just before Christmas of this year. Everything started blurring together around that time,...

It's been a while since I put out a series-wide book trailer for my contemporary/urban fantasy series the Mia Graves Saga, so it seemed about time I do an updated one. As you may have noticed, I say book 5, The Perfect Host, should be...
Some days, the weather doesn’t invite adventure — just cold, wind, and low clouds. Last Tuesday was one of those days, and I nearly stayed in. But I opted for a quick "training mountain" hike. The closed summit trail forced an early...
