A blog about tech, productivity, tutorials, and more!
Full disclosure here: This is one of the hardest posts I’ve ever had to write for my site, period. 11 months ago, I decided to try Fabric.so sometime after someone from their site reached out to me and asked if I was interested in it. I was then compensated with a free one-year pro subscription […]
”What’s a computer?” – Some snot-nosed brat, circa 2017. I’m sure everybody can already recall the infamous ad campaign without seeing a link. In case you don’t realize (That’s a rock worth living under!), Apple had an ad campaign back in the day featuring a little girl with a keyboard on her iPad. She ends […]
Now here’s a short one if I ever saw it. I know I’ve been a little on the busy side again as of late, though it has largely come down to a few things in both my personal and work life. I’ve become preoccupied with life and projects here and there, including getting much more […]
I’ve been a stationery junkie for years now. I really like analog writing tools in general, especially pocket notebooks. While gel pens have been my jam, I did start trying to use other tools like fountain pens and, of course, pencils a few years back. Despite how I have quite a few of them, however, […]
I never thought it could happen to me, but here we are. Years and years ago, when I first started to bullet journal, when I first made it a regular part of my practice, I recalled seeing several YouTube videos about it. However, there were also a few videos out there that largely seemed like […]
You may not know it about me, but I was a longtime YNAB user. I really liked how good the app was at letting me track spending, finances, and how much was being spent in one category or another. In fact, using YNAB several years ago is the reason I no longer have an auto […]
My readers, it’s time I come clean. I have to finally apologize for a long-overdue justice. No amount of interpretive dance, playing the ukulele, or saying “I’m sorry you feel that way,” will fix any of this. This time, I’ve gone too far, much too far. I have been inundated with constant emails, text messages, […]
I’ve used a bullet journal for several years now. I mean, it’s the very first thing I wrote about on this site. Additionally, I’ve been running Linux as a daily driver even longer than that, running only a few distros like Arch and openSUSE without distro hopping. As a result of running Linux so often, […]
I’ll admit that I tried the original Orion Browser a very long time ago when I read about it somewhere (I forget where exactly) on macOS back when it was still called OS X. In short, Orion Browser is supposed to be a WebKit-based browser from Kagi, a search engine, that has a lot of […]
I’m already using a Clicks keyboard on my current Pixel 9, and I am mostly satisfied with how my Pixel 9 has performed so far. Despite that, however, I was excited to see the upcoming announcements from Clicks: the Power Keyboard and the Communicator. That said, the Power Keyboard looks much less interesting to me […]
I already wrote about it recently and in passing, but my openSUSE laptop became a new project for me to tinker over the past week. I loved getting Hyprland to run on the system just as it would run on my Arch desktop. Everything was looking great. But unfortunately, Hyprland only looked great on this […]
This won’t be too long of a post, but it does somewhat connect with my most recent post about Dank Material Shell. After installing it, I enjoyed the rest of my setup as normal. This felt like the end-all addition to my Hyprland setup. However, I had a different, long-dormant issue that reared its ugly […]
I’ll be frank about something. In general, I’ve had less ideas lately about what to write regarding Linux use in general. I mean, sure, I could always discuss how Microsoft misread the room (understatement of the year, and it’s only January) and started driving Linux Mint adoption, but I’m surely not the first person to […]
Disclaimer: Just like last time, this is still not a paid promotion. I originally paid for the Clicks keyboard in this review out of my own pocket. Same with the other things I mention throughout like the Speck case I was using or the Popsocket accessory I brought up. Thus, I can be completely honest about any […]
It’s surely been a while, as 2026 is now approaching. Quite a bit of time has passed since I stopped using the whole BASB “Second Brain” system as conceived by Tiago Forte, almost two months to be more specific. However, that doesn’t exactly mean I stopped using Obsidian altogether. When it comes to meaningful note-taking […]
December is here again! That can only mean my latest NaNoWriMo attempt is over. Now, before I go on, I’m fully aware that the official NaNoWriMo site is gone and everything, but I still follow the tradition in general regardless. I never really saw the NaNoWriMo event itself being tied so tightly to that organization. […]
I never thought I’d type this, but here we are. It’s been a fun ride for the past few years, but I saw the writing on the wall a good while back when I felt compelled to restart my second brain in the first place. I really didn’t want to think it was over, and […]
November has arrived once more, and it’s that time of year all over again. Just as I did last year and the year before, I am once again throwing my hat into the ring and working on NaNoWriMo. As usual, if I’m going to do this again, there are going to besome ground rules. A […]
Here’s a hypothetical. Let’s say I developed an Android app for you to use. You can download it for free, and I give you two options on how you would rather have the app work: Great, now I’ll give you some time to sit back and decide if you would rather have option 1 or […]
Despite my history using Linux over the past few years, and despite how I have to use a Mac at work, I typically default to not only Arch Linux, but Hyprland with my setup. In short, I had a taste of tiling windows a few years ago starting with Awesome WM. After a few years […]
