I have an odd situationship when it comes to audiobooks. I used to swear by them. I still enjoyed actually reading the words, but when I worked out in the public, I would almost always have an audiobook playing in the background. But now...
You may have noticed a lack of content from me lately. My Internet has been super unreliable for ages, and these last two weeks it has been even worse. And it’s not like it has been down. Instead we’ve been having these periods (almost...
Got myself in an odd thought spiral tonight while listening to some oldies. What would the world be like if Buddy Holly had lived? What would the world be like if Hank Williams Sr. had lived? There are so many artists out there that died...
Discord has ruined itself for me. I actually liked Discord a lot, which feels like a minority opinion most days. I liked it because I have cultivated an awesome community on there with almost 2500 wonderful souls. The TLC Discord server...
I too wonder why this is so. FFS, would a few more inches really cost so much? And the first person who says “that’s what she said” gets banned. lol Link: https://forkingmad.blog/cables-are-never-long-enough/
I have a long history of adoring long books. When I first started reading, I quickly moved away from kids books to what I charmingly called “chapter books, mama”. I read my first Tom Clancy book in fourth grade. Why did I choose it?...
A few days late just means there is more to cover, right? Programming and Scripting This week I worked on my homepage quite a bit. I added a ListenBrainz widget and fixed quite a few bugs that have been bugging me for a while. I also...

I wrote somewhere (probably in a Newsletter), about how sick I am of Winter. I think that was December. It is now March and WINTER IS STILL FUCKING HERE. I’m soooooooo sick of cold weather and snow. I’m not an outdoors type guy, but I’m...
I use my phone more than Aleem does. Way more. There is a part of me that feels the same, that I use it too much and that I should try to slow it down. The other part of me knows exactly what I’m doing and is okay with it. I use my phone...
I spent the last day or so completely redesigning the Music page here on the blog. I took inspiration from the week view on Last FM. It’s not as colorful, and I still have some work to do (the background of the div containers are not...
I wrote a little while ago, that I planned to stop blogging every day. I stated in that post that it had started to feel like an obligation, and that it had stopped being fun because I was forcing it. Since then, I’ve had a problem in...
My sleeping habits are all over the place. This getting up early thing is going to take awhile to set in. Some days I do well, and I’m up and at ’em early. Other days, I still sleep until late morning and it feels like the day is over...
I’ve had a few days where I’ve been super productive. I’ve gotten up earlier, gone to bed earlier, and accomplished a lot of stuff. I even finally cleaned my desk and computer, something I’ve been meaning to do for ages. But today, I...
This has been a very odd week. I’ve long been a night owl. I go to sleep sometime in the 3-4AM range, and then sleep until around 11AM. I’ve been working this last week to be a little more normal. To sleep before 2AM and then up around...
