The Quest To Remember a Song

Yesterday afternoon I recalled a song that I heard a week or two prior; it's a song I heard before, and hadn't heard it in a long time. I remember that I really enjoyed the song, but since hearing it, yesterday was the first time I thought of it since. And a tiny bit of …

Just Start

Yesterday out of the blue I decided to look through my saved posts on Reddit. I think I saved something recently and I wanted to re-read it, but I ended up scrolling through the list. A lot of it was saved wallpapers, tips and tricks for various bits of tech, and various other junk. I …

I Unsubscribed from a Podcast

I have been listening to podcasts for a very long time. I remember as far back as 2005 at least - it could be longer, I can't really say for sure. But over that time I've gone through a series of different listening phases: Just Getting Started: Subscribed to a just a few podcastsCan't Get …

Web Design

As I mentioned in my previous post about professional development, I'm learning about web design - HTML, CSS, and how to put it all together.

A Few Good Games

Lately something the feeling of playing a quick handheld video game has struck me now and then. I used to have a small handful of games on my phone, but deleted them a long time ago. I wasn't playing them, and they didn't hold my interest. I don't have any fancy new platforms like the …

What Happens When Something You Enjoy is Taken Away?

A thought popped into my head as I poured a new non-alcoholic IPA (Athletic Brewing Company's Run Wild IPA) into an old Innis & Gunn beer glass: I used to be "known" as a beer lover. If you weren't sure what to buy for me, the easiest choice would be to find some craft beer …
