Right now as I'm writing this, humans are travelling to the moon for the first time within my lifetime. I'm not the biggest space nerd, but spaceflight and especially the Apollo moon program have always kind of fascinated me. And so I'm...

I enjoy installing and playing around with old operating systems. Granted, I don't do much with them once I got them installed, but I like having a look around, checking out the integrated software and just seeing what it feels like to...
Made it to number 100! It's crazy to see that I've written 100 of these posts almost every week (I skipped one week in October 2024 and one in December, same year) for nearly two years. I've done some work on the site recently and you...
