Forgetting the nuance of what I am thinking
I have put in my server setup description how I created this site and my workflow for uploading documents. The shorthand is that I use VSCode as a “FTPSSH” where I can text edit and automatically upload, then run a command to build the website. In order to keep track of what I want to…

Tom Petty is really great (and other core memories)
I think it is really interesting how a single moment in your life can make such a profound impact, even when, at the time, it really didn’t seem very significant. I had just broken up with a long term girlfriend and found my rebound in a really nice girl that lived like 50mi from my…

What makes work stressful (and why my job is more stressful than my father’s, despite being far easier)
The other day I got to thinking: why are jobs difficult, and, more importantly, what makes jobs stressful? Stress means different things for different people, with some being stressed about social interaction, some stressed about the moral or societal implications of their job, others with the amount of effort and time they need to spend,…

A Timber Tom-n’t Christmas

This is the second Christmas that I spent without my dad, and it was A LOT harder than the first. The first Christmas I was more “in shock” so to speak, like the whole concept of my dad not being there was so foreign that I literally half expected him to show up and say…

Linux, the Steam Deck, consoles, and other tech gripes
I really love the idea of Linux taking off. It would not only be the beginning of lightweight operating systems in modern day as a gaming system, but also would start a “we don’t like megacorporations” movement that may save the free and open internet. It would mean that people would hypothetically start developing and/or…

I damaged my truck and now I can’t stop thinking about object impermanence
This post was a voice recording transcribed by my Pixel 8 Pro, then cleaned up, proofread, and formatted by ChatGPT. It has been carefully scrutinized to make sure that it still accurately conveys my original message, and is less than 2% different outside of grammatical changes I was driving home today and I started thinking…

Kicking the can down the road
Dear readers, I ask you a question: do you know who controls you? Most will say the government, some of the funny ones will say a wife/girlfriend, others might say something like an addiction or money (an object or goal), but as far as the tech world is concerned, it really comes down to conglomerate…

I don’t really understand journaling
Before and during taking care of my dad while he had cancer, I started to journal. I am not 100% sure why, though, and that fact has been bugging me lately. It didn’t really feel good or relieve any stress, I didn’t share it with anyone (not like that would have helped anyway), and I…

This site isn’t as good as it’s inspiration
I made this site after I saw my dad’s old site because I already had the domain and thought it would be cool to try and recreate something that my dad did in my own way, as sort of an homage to him. However, I just had the realization that I didn’t really make any…

Google is probably evil (and I don’t really care)
Has any of you readers ever tried to use Bing? What about Apple maps? Aren’t they just fucking awful? What about iCloud for windows? :face_vomiting: I use Google not because I think they are moralistic and wholesome but because there isn’t another choice without significantly gimping myself. There two backup services for windows are one…
