I’m Jeremy, a software developer and all around nerd. I write about programming, self hosting, music, games, life in general, and anything else that’s grabbed my attention lately. Mostly this is my place to share neat things I’ve discovered or learned. You may also see me go by moddedBear in some places.

This last weekend I was traveling out of town for a wedding. On Monday before my flight out I had some extra time, and with my old university campus on the way to the airport anyway I decided to visit. It was nice just walking around in...
I’ve been trying something a bit new with my phone since yesterday. What am I looking at? This is a launcher for Android called Olauncher and I’m trying it out to see if it can help me cut down on mindless phone usage. Olauncher replaces...
Looks like I’ve been challenged to another blogging challenge by Joel! When did you first get interested in technology? To tell the truth, I can’t think of a time I wasn’t interested in technology. We always had a family computer growing...
A new hardware project Earlier this week I put together a color e-ink picture frame powered by a Raspberry Pi. It was a pretty easy, fun little project. For the past few days I’ve been having it run a simple script I wrote that chooses a...
There’s a post that’s getting shared around right now, Blogging for traffic not design (archive link). I want to be clear that this isn’t intended as a dig at the author. Different bloggers obviously have different reasons they write....
