Mechanical Keyboard

A few days ago I had to work from home, and this made me realize and appreciate how much I love my mechanical keyboard. At work I use a CM Storm Quick Fire Cherry MX Blue, while at home (desk only, since normally I’m just using a laptop) I use an old A1048 Apple Keyboard. It […]

Blocking Facebook and YouTube

Although I didn’t mentioned it as being one of my New Year’s Resolution. This year I’m opting to limit myself wasting time in social media sites, in particular YouTube and Facebook. It’s incredible how much time I waste in these social media sites, instead of using this precious time in something more productive and practical. […]

Bye 2017

2017 has been a the year that I went full blown Tolkien. Although I must admit, this year has been one of my poorest reading years in terms of quantity, but of quality, that’s a different story. Another cool thing that happened this year was my purchase of an awesome Sauron statue. In terms of […]

Lord of the Rings TV Series

Amazon Prime heads to Middle Earth. https://t.co/QowUmf8t3S pic.twitter.com/YVciEX3u2t — Jeff Bezos (@JeffBezos) November 13, 2017 When I first heard the news that Amazon was going to making a TV serious based on The Lord of the Rings, I honestly didn’t really paid much attention to it. Since my impression was of; oh look, another major […]

Replacing the Battery on my MacBook Air

Its finally come time to replace the original battery on 2012 MacBook Air 11 in. With over a thousand cycle counts, the battery was tagged as a “Replace Soon” condition by MacOS. The battery would still charge perfectly fine, however with some light usage; it only lasted about an hour before it fully drained completely. […]

Happy 10 years!

So this blog is officially ten years old! Well, not quite. Technically, I began experimenting with WordPress 1.5 back in early 2005. Back then I was a still in college, on the now extinct ITT-Tech. At that time I wanted to learn the LAMP stack more in depth (I’m still learning since this is a […]

A Beautiful Irony

They’re very few things that can captivate me emotionally. This fan made video is one of those few. I’ve started reading The Silmarillion over the weekend, and the very first story in the book is called Ainulindalë. This story describes how the world in which Middle-earth resides in, was originally created. The beautiful irony of […]

Bye 2016

What can I say? 2016 has been the year Leicester City won the Premier League title, and the year were the greatest football club in the world turned 100 years old. The year were politically speaking conservatism died and turned into an authoritarian shitfest. However not all was bad in 2016. Financially, it was my best year […]

ITT-Technical Institute Shuts Down

        It’s been a couple of weeks that the college I graduated from is officially no more, and  I’m happy to see its gone for good. If anything, it should be a big warning towards other private for-profit schools that operate in a similar fashion. Shortly after I enrolled in the ITT-Tech […]

Bye 2015

What crazy year 2015 turned out to be. A year where I turned 29. A year where terrorism hit very close to home. A year where first world feminists gave a speech in front of the United Nations, advocating for internet censorship, simply because people call them out on their bullshit. A year where a […]
