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…

A Brief Tribute to the Apple A1048 Keyboard

I am still a Linux user first and foremost, but I have most definitely ventured further and further down the rabbit hole of tinkering with vintage Apple computers.

The Usefulness (and Restrictions) of ChatGPT

While I have joked about it frequently in previous posts, I do casually use AI like many people from time to time. On more than one occasion, I’ll open up ChatGPT and type something in, especially if I feel like it’s a little too specific to search for a search engine alone. I know it’s…

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…

I’m Going to Use AI for EVERYTHING

It’s another short post from yours truly. I’ve been writing a little less as of late, as my life and priorities have been tougher on me recently. However, I hatched an ingenious idea of what to do to increase the amount of content on this blog just a few days ago. It struck me while…
