I was on a Signal video chat with my siblings today, and when I mentioned something about RC flight as an analogy for a person's health (being "three mistakes high"), my brother looked confused and then amused when I explained what I was talking about.
Oh, quick explainer, I'm not …

I keep finding more of these blog challenge questions, and I totally love them.
This one comes courtesy of Andreas' blog.
Like Andreas, I'm not a big TV watcher. I think I formally quit watching TV in 2003. I did watch a few things on Netflix and Amazon Prime over …

Because it's cool! But first, a brief history of writing in the digital age!
The very first computer I had at home was an Apple ][+ that my mom rented for a computer class in university. The …

I saw this update to the "Blog Questions Challenge" format on jnv's blog, and without reading* it first (in order to not taint my own answers — I will definitely go back and read his), I thought I'd write down some of my own thoughts, for fun.

I was reading Clayton's blog post about his habit of buying larger and larger USB thumb drives back in the day (when they were getting rapidly larger every few months), and it reminded me of a wish I had in the 2000s that got only partially fulfilled.
As anyone who …

I mean, that's certainly one way of looking at it.
On the other hand, I know how much people were pooh-poohing the specs of the original Switch, and saying if Nintendo had just invested $50 more into it, it would've been such a better platform.

About a week ago, I had the pleasure of answering some interview-style questions from Hyde that got posted to his blog series, Over/Under.

I had only intended to post this as a reply to my own "toot" on the Fediverse, but it actually went over my instance's post limit of 5,000 characters, so here we go! 😆

I was an 80s kid. I grew up in a booming and optimistic time. The future held so much promise: all kinds of cures for disease, technology and automation would free humanity from the drudgery of labor (heh), and the Information Age would bring an acceleration to learning and innovation …

The Linux Cast is one of my favorite Linux youtubers, as he usually posts very interesting videos and isn't afraid to share his off-the-cuff opinions of things in the Linux world, yet is usually not toxic, unlike some of that space's more infamous members.
