My personal website and blog where I post stuff about my work on the Wait Wait Stats Project as well as posts about using Linux, working on my home lab, and video games. I try to post monthly, but it mostly depends on spare time outside of work and events.

A whole lot of things have been happening in the past month, between Wait Wait-related and personal updates. Instead of spreading it out into multiple blog posts, I decided to kind of do a Lightning round/omnibus blog post briefly...
Over the years, I have built up a small collection of laptops, mostly ones that I've kept around after being replaced by a new laptop. They have been useful when I need to have a fallback laptop or to try out different software or...

It's been almost three months since the last major Wait Wait Stats Updates post from July 2025 and there have been a couple of updates to the project.
Due to their donations and support for both Hyprland and Omarchy, along with their poor response of wanting to "create a big tent" when members of the community voiced their concerns, I cannot recommend Framework for laptops and computers.
I will be working on updating and aligning the segment names in show descriptions that I have entered in for each Wait Wait… Don't Tell Me! show to match the naming convention used by NPR and the show.
As I get a new laptop, I usually keep the old one around for a while and try to find a new use for them instead of selling or donating them. That is how I have two different MacBook Pro laptops that have been sitting around and...
About a week ago, I published my thoughts on four of the Anbernic "RGXX" handhelds that I have in the post titled "A Tale of Four Anbernic H700-based Handhelds". Right before I finished the post, KNULLI announced a new version of the...
Over the past couple of years, I have been building up a decent collection of handheld consoles that target software emulation of video games (and two that are FPGA-based that are built to virtually replicate/emulate original hardware)....
