For the last six months or so, I have been using Hugo as my blogging platform of choice, switching over from a heavy NextJS site to one that is far more lightweight and focused on static files. What I did not know is that Hugo plays very...
2024 was a solid year for me and my family, and I look to build upon the progress and education I acquired in the year as we move into the new year. The theme of 2025 is outreach, execution, and output. I generally make goals based on...

“All that is gold does not glitter, Not all those who wander are lost; The old that is strong does not wither, Deep roots are not reached by the frost.From the ashes a fire shall be woken, A light from the shadows shall spring; Renewed...
I think I made a mistake, team! In my previous video and post I spoke about leaving emacs for the pastures of Neovim and a CLI/TUI-centric workflow. I made the jump earlier this year, creating a zen system that I thought would allow me...
I know that I am going to generate hate for this one, but I have left my Hyprland tiling window manager for the pastures of Gnome. I’ll give you a few moments for everyone to post their hate comments below. Alright, now that that is done...
Switching between the mouse and keyboard is a fool’s game - one that takes 100% productivity and slowly erodes it away, percentage point by percentage point until we are taking valuable brain power and energy to swap between the two....
