When You Start Pulling The String
I recently posted on migrating my site from Wordpress to Jekyll. Things are still going full steam ahead. I still need to do some polishing, but that s the least of the issues I m dealing with.

Breaking With Wordpress Is Hard To Do
I did it. I broke free. I am free of Wordpress. It s been a long divorce, but I think the end has finally occurred.
Hip-Hop and Me
I was reading an article about Ice-T doing the Grammy show and how far rap has come over the last 50 years. I agree and it made me consider my own memories.
How Did We End Up Here?
A few months ago my website ran into an issue. WordPress crashed, and while I could take time to fix it I opted not to. At first, it was "I ll get around to it". Then it became "do I need it"? For quite a while I wanted to take my site to a static deployment removing the backend needs. This really was the opportunity to start on that. The problem was old data. I wanted that back.
The More We Stay The Same, The More We Change.
I was looking through my draft posts, trying to clear off the cobwebs of antiquity and readdress the things I started and never finished. I came across one post which was personal, but I just don t think I can get into the mindset this particular post needed to continue as it is. This is not a normal thing for me though. I can normally capture the mindset and voice I had at different eras of my…
Retrometrics — Final Fantasy X and X-2 Remastered
The image above looks so great taking on the Final Fantasy classic style. Now if it had felt like the classic style, I may have enjoyed both of these games more. I ve owned both these games on multiple platforms (original PS2, PS3, PS4, Switch) I ve owned the original since back when the PS2 was the dominant system. However, I never played them until now. Though I had the choice between two modern…
Lamenting the Loss of Everlasting Gobstoppers
I know looking at the title you are thinking to yourself, but I just saw Gobstoppers in the candy aisle at the local big box store just the other day. That these are the Gobstoppers that you remember and have loved your whole life. But that life is a lie. I don t mean the crazy-shaped Gobstoppers from the movie that have weird ends coming out of them. Those were never made and sold to the general…
Yahoo Answers Shutting Down — Not All Data Exportable
This week it was announced that Yahoo Answers was shutting down. In that fact, I kind of go maybe it s time, Reddit has replaced it. The current ownership of Yahoo is not putting in money or updating properties. Likely it s time. Though Ars Technica had an article that the far right is saying this is to silence their speech, this far more falls into a straight business decision to turn off the…
Playing With Wordgrinder
I have an overall goal of trying to move one laptop over to a terminal-based only laptop one day. However, I can t do that until I can survive more than a day or two in the shell. It s not a goal of "only" having a system that is GUI-free. I have multiple systems. I just want one singular system that is terminal only and mobile (because I do have multiple headless Raspberry Pis in my environment.
Sometimes The Right Text Editor is Right In Front of You
I had an issue with my daily journal script. If I collected all the data from sources, generated my daily post, and then made notes I was leaving out too many details. If I kept a separate file with notes and then pasted it in, that didn t help me either. Especially if I m away from my computer, I wanted something that I can use from my phone. It was important that it could sync through Dropbox…
