My NaNoWriMo 2025 Results
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.…

Why I’m Giving Up on a Second Brain
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…

My Third Serious Attempt at NaNoWriMo
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…

An Arch User Learns to Love Snaps
Or “How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love snapd!” I never thought I’d write about this now, but as a longtime Linux user, I got by using packages in my distro’s default repositories, the AUR, Flatpaks, and the occasional AppImage here or there. When anyone so much as mentioned using Canonical’s Snaps, I usually…

Combine Your Second Brain with Zettelkasten
I’m already approaching an entire year of using my current second brain for my personal knowledge management. In case anybody doesn’t remember, I stopped using my old one because it became so bloated with information that didn’t quite matter to me. Instead of scrapping the idea altogether, I decided I just wanted a fresh start…

My NaNoWriMo 2024 Results
That’s another NaNoWriMo in the books. As I stated one month ago, I wanted to try NaNo for another consecutive year in a row. I tried using my 5 AM Club time for it once again, dedicating my 20 minutes of growth time each morning to writing in the novel. While I did attempt to…

Another Serious Attempt at NaNoWriMo!
Costumes are coming off, seasonal candy is on clearance, and el Dia de los Muertos is underway. That can only mean one thing: November is here once again, and that means National Novel Writing Month is back. Longtime readers may be getting deja vu looking at this title. However, it’s no mistake. I will once…

Omnivore: A Read-It-Later App I Actually Want to Use
UPDATE: As much as I liked using Omnivore, this page didn’t age too well. As of November 2024, Omnivore is shutting down, which will prompt me to continue my search for an alternative. Switching jobs sometimes requires moving out of where you live, further than you expected. Moving can also be expensive, expensive enough to…

Install MANY Fonts on Linux with a Few Terminal Commands
Here’s a relatively quick Linux tip. If you want to know right away how to do this in simple steps, feel free to skip down to the section titled “Just Give Me The Steps!” I did stumble across an issue with fonts when trying to sync my Obsidian second brain from Arch Linux at home…

New Year, New Second Brain?
A new year is at hand! As the autumn ended and the winter arrived, I’ve continued using my three biggest productivity tools in tandem with one another: my bullet journal, second brain, and pocket notebook (which I will refer to here as a memo book to distinguish it from a “full-sized” notebook). Still, when I…
