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,…

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…

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,…

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,…

I’m Done with Vim/Nvim Distros
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 Replaced My Second Brain (and PARA) With My Own Digital System
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…

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…

How Homelabbing is Saving Me Hundreds of Dollars a Year
I’ve been a rather busy bee this past month and a half. I already alluded to the fact a while back, but I recently got Jellyfin running on an otherwise neglected Mac mini. I was able to set up a domain to redirect to it and everything, allowing me to replace both TIDAL and just…
