Amy Kay During the Fall Semester of 2026, I was crossing a street on my way to one of the college campuses. This particular street is basically a mini highway, during traffic hour it is packed . It was not one of those days, the nearest car was a few blocks away, maybe 100 feet or more. As I'm about a foot or less from the other side I hear this whoosh behind me. I almost died. I think about…
Amy Kay Google really sucks as a company. They're not the only one but I believe the quality of their services and products are most pronounced since the Internet relies so heavily on the company. It didn't start with AI, it started with greed. But AI sure did lure the greedy money lovers like a siren to lost sailors. No other product is as bad as Search... Or maybe it's because of how popular the…
Amy Kay Reflection will be a series of posts by me; reflecting back on my life. I've been reflecting on my life as of late. What led up to today, what actions got me here, and what can I do for a better tomorrow. Until Fall 2025, I've been in a personal hell, sometimes of my own making. Sometimes because I can't admit when I'm wrong, sometimes I make a bad decision and am yet to realize it until…
Amy Kay This is a rant. I used to like Etsy, I bought some queer bracelets off of there a few years back and they lasted me a good while. My money went to a shop in LA, and independent artist making her own bracelets. Those creations still exist on the site, but it's overshadowed by the blatant AI generated slop that has taken over the site. Look up "wall decor" on the site, you'll get images of…
Amy Kay On Tuesday (24/2) I went to a local nursery named Put a Plant On It and it was a trip to get there. While walking to the bus stop near my home I saw the bus pass by, I was probably 30-60 seconds late the stop. I had to quickly journey down the long street to take another line. Then I took another line after that line. Then, I was finally at the nursery, but wait! I need to deposite some…
Amy Kay Hey everyone. I've been having lots of issues recently and decided to go back to doing small things while I can focus more on my education. To kick that off I made a tiny collection of Bash "scripts" to automate mundane processes like updating packages and flatpaks, installing fonts, etc. I wrote these in a few minutes, so don't expect 100 lines of code. Feel free to contribute to the…

Amy Kay The U.S has been leading down this path for decades, but it has accelerated in the past 9~ years since Trump was elected to his first term. Blatant bribes, quick flip-flopping, pardoning and hiring family members and convicted criminals. Crackdowns on protests and movements against the Federal government was rampant, most notably in 2020. This all of course lead up to his lost and the…
Amy Kay Reading about the history of the internet, WWW, and telecommunications excites and helps me understand the technology that I work with. But it also depresses me. These innovative forms of technology has rotten our society. The internet used to be the wild west, and has since become a cesspool. Where we go to scream at each other, spread hate, argue with strangers, and take time out of our…
Amy Kay I'm not sure how many of you know this, but I'm a gamer. I have an array of games from my childhood and adulthood on my overcrowded shelf. I'm also a collector. I've been playing a lot of games recently in my downtime, and I thought I should share them with you. L.A. Noir (Xbox 360) This one is a new favorite of mine. I picked it up at a local game store and I immediately fell in love with…
