An Ongoing List of Statistics I’d Like to See When I Die
This is an ongoing discussion between my partner and I. Assuming there’s an afterlife of some sort (which I don’t personally believe, but for the sake of this thought experiment let’s just pretend there is), there’s the cliché of the events of one’s life being reviewed and judged. If that’s the case, and everything has…

Custom Browser Search Queries
I’m lazy efficient and therefore don’t want to do more work than necessary, especially with any sort of repetitive tasks. I do a lot of searches from the address bar in Firefox, so I make good use out of Firefox’s built-in search tools. Most modern browsers offer a simple search bar, however additional, more powerful…

Sync Obsidian Across Devices via Synology NAS
I wish I wasn’t as particular as I am, but not much to be done about that. If I want a thing, it will be thoroughly researched and I will obtain the perfect thing that suits my needs. And I don’t mean to say the perfect thing is necessarily expensive or literally the best available…

My Media Setup As Of August 2024
Here is my current media setup. I fully realize that this is lot to take in at once. I’ve personally been screwing around with these sort of setups for like 10-12 years now, starting with unfathomable amounts of jank running on crappy under-powered hardware, so on my end this is a lot of accumulated knowledge.…

My Favourite Rap Term: Swayze
“Swayze,” as in Roadhouse actor Patrick Swayze, is one of the weirdest terms in hip-hop. Hip-hop is a genre very well known for slang: known and popular or otherwise. Like half of the English language’s slang terms come from African-American Vernacular English (AAVE), which is obviously very strongly tied with rap, then dig one step…

The Worst Live Show I’ve Ever Been To: Rock The Bells, Toronto, 2006
Every now and then I’ll stumble across a Reddit thread along the lines of “What was the worst concert you’ve ever been to?” which will spark a memory of the travesty of a show that was the Rock The Bells Tour’s stop in Toronto in 2006. It was such a shitshow it’s not even listed…

Get Free Game Alerts via Reddit & IFTTT
I like free stuff. Free stuff is pretty sweet. Taking advantage of free and super cheap games is one of the main reasons I decided to finally build myself a PC. I’ve totally saved money by buying more less expensive games than I otherwise would have… That’s a lie – I’ve definitely blown more money…

Preamble: This is an effort for me to catalogue some writing from when I was an intern writing blogs and doing PR for a music studio after I graduated way back in 2010. I’ve managed to recover some old blog posts via the Wayback Machine. I’ve done some light formatting and editing because the typos…
