thought personal tech phone watch health Wanna cut down on phone usage? Try a smartwatch! Nov 25, 2023

Buy an expensive companion for your phone, and that'll lead you to use your phone less? It sounds like an oxymoron. But after over a month of using my Google Pixel Watch, it seems to be true!

For the last few years, there's been low-stakes movements to rediscover the aesthetics and values that composed of the Web 1.0 era internet - that is, from the 90s to the early/mid 2000s.

bookmark 🔗 James Somers: 'More people should write' (2012) Nov 20, 2023

That’s the promise: you will live more curiously if you write. You will become a scientist, if not of the natural world than of whatever world you care about. More of that world will pop alive. You will see more when you look at it.

November is upon us! Did you have a good Halloween? And are you aware that Spooking Out, the 2010 Roblox game by me and a friend, is now a year old (give or take a few days)?

personal thought Cold nights in Florida Oct 12, 2023

I thought to write something about this because someone on Mastodon noted it in a post: the nights in Florida are growing cold. He wrote a thread that I'd like to share, about a change in pace for the place I live.

writing thought Writing without smarts Oct 8, 2023

I'm not (currently) a full-on writer in my eyes, but I still write a lot of blog posts, and essays in school. I've noticed I use writing apps that come without any "smart" features like spell check, auto correct, etc. But is it really a good thing to have?

game thought CLICK TO TEN Oct 4, 2023

Can you do it? Click to Ten is a game I found on my friend's Steam profile - he only had 1 minute of playtime, yet he told me he beat it! How can that be? Is it really that easy to click to ten?

blog personal thought Where are the daily notes? Oct 1, 2023

Short answer: I've been spending my time working on Micrathena!

blog thought personal I need to blog more Sep 28, 2023

I have a lot of ideas for daily notes while my blog is collecting dust. Why? I think it comes down to being too lazy for the detail I want to put into blog posts - which ends up leaving my blog not having any blog posts. I really just need to lower my standards and write.

web art game review thought Thoughts on corru.observer (it's very cool) Sep 25, 2023

corru.observer is a very strange website. It's an interactive story that's part 3D game, part visual novel, part website. Hypertext fiction at its finest.

3dprinting linux server tech Octoprint is very cool!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Sep 22, 2023

Setting up a remote control / web UI for my 3D printer was a game changer, I regret doing this sooner. Give OctoPrint a try!

textarea.site react web frontend tech ⚛️ React: When everything looks like a nail... Sep 12, 2023

I've been working on textarea.site as a way to dive back into the beautiful and the ugly parts of front-end web development. After a few days of work, I decided to rewrite the entire project in Svelte. Surprising? Maybe not. It's about the right tool for the job, and here, React is not it.

personal status-update textarea.site roblox thought September Status Sep 3, 2023

Day 3 of September. Things are going OK for me, I just wanted to write down here what I'm aiming for this month. Right now, I'm focusing on college applications and web development projects, so Roblox stuff will keep taking a back seat.

kindle jailbreak ebook tech Jailbreaking a Kindle Voyage and installing KOReader Aug 18, 2023

I love my 2014 Kindle Voyage, actively been using it for almost 10 years now. But after finding out update support ended a while ago, why not finally jailbreak it and install more open and featureful e-reader software?

ruby linux tech Installing the latest Ruby with rbenv on Debian Aug 16, 2023

I decided to switch from running Ruby natively on Windows to WSL, because Ruby on Windows is pretty bad. Installing the rbenv tool to manage multiple versions of Ruby is simple, but in order to add (by compiling) a Ruby version, there are a few dependencies to install.
