  • Making an iPad Useful with a Keyboard

    Making an iPad Useful with a Keyboard

    ”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… Read more

  • So I’m Technically Running CachyOS

    So I’m Technically Running CachyOS

    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… Read more

  • I Made an “Analog Game Boy” to Avoid Phone Scrolling

    I Made an “Analog Game Boy” to Avoid Phone Scrolling

    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,… Read more

  • Dealing With How I Stopped Bullet Journaling

    Dealing With How I Stopped Bullet Journaling

    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… Read more

  • I Replaced YNAB with a Free Terminal App

    I Replaced YNAB with a Free Terminal App

    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… Read more

    How to Cancel Your Premium Sudo Science Subscription

    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,… Read more

  • You Can Bullet Journal from the Terminal

    You Can Bullet Journal from the Terminal

    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,… Read more

  • Orion’s Early Beta Has Launched on Linux via Flatpak

    Orion’s Early Beta Has Launched on Linux via Flatpak

    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… Read more

  • We’re In a Keyboard Phone Renaissance

    We’re In a Keyboard Phone Renaissance

    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… Read more

  • chadwm: A Simple, Easy Way to Get Started with dwm

    chadwm: A Simple, Easy Way to Get Started with dwm

    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… Read more
