What I Did I’ve been in a very, very crazy period of my life. It’s an emotional rollercoaster, but it’s slowly coming to an end. In spite of that, I’ve been working ceaselessly at many, many things: I’ve fallen out of practice updating, so I’m sure there’s more, but those are all the public-facing things, […]

What I Did Like my forays into adequately living well and the philosophical truths of reality, I created a folder convention to sort through the many facets of computers technologies. I’m porting the entire experience out to TechSplained. The first part was simple enough. I went back into the stuff I started on in November […]

What I Did What I Learned #1 If we parse out existence, we can group the flow of ideas into reality as follows: Technology work, compared to just about everything else, has a massive rearrangement of constraints: What I Learned #2 While productivity is a good thing in its place, it needs self-awareness to prevent […]
2021-02-24 New Format
After much pondering, stress, thinking, and deliberation, I’ve now created a new format. Enjoy! What I Did I made a guide for how to effectively sort through information. If you know my methods, this is certainly one of the few things I don’t have to consult a few hundred articles to learn about! I’ve made […]

I’m proud to say that I’ve been building hardcore these past few weeks. […]
2021-02-09 Update, I Guess?
I hate the concept of “updates”. I mean, it’s obvious that you, the not-around-me reader, need to know what’s going on, but I make so many trend-resistant things that I don’t feel like it’s fair to share an update about the fact that I’ve added a few lines to my GainedInSite culture and power pages, […]
2021-01-26 Distrusting FAANGMT
I’m happy to say that my predictions about what will happen with Big Tech’s censorship has been largely overstated. The evidence of this, to me, is what newly-minted President Biden has done lately. My attitude is a defiance of what I already knew to be true, but I had lost my nerve for a few […]
2021-01-02 Satisfied New Year!
I once heard an anecdote from a Jewish man, then promptly forgot it. What I memetically remembered, in effect, was “if you attack the Jews, they’ll make a new holiday”. What happens to us isn’t as important as what we do with it. For Christmas, my family makes a tradition of ramen noodles to remind […]
2020-11-18 Mandatory Update
As much as I’m a fan of the /now movement, adding updates always feels a bit strange because I’m rewriting. As a principle, I feel like restating things is a waste of time, but having children almost guarantees the need for repetition, so I guess I’m fighting a losing battle. I’m not going to lie, […]
2020-10-29 Transitions
One month ago, I was working at Scientific Games servicing lottery machines. It involved traveling to the 2500-odd locations in Iowa where you could get a Powerball. Daytime hours, revolving workweek, Steady Eddie. Today, I’m waiting for marching orders at my new job as a data center technician for a company that services Microsoft. It’s […]
