Weekly Wrap-Up (08.06.2023 to 08.12.2023)

Weekly Wrap-Up (07.30.2023 to 08.05.2023) Another week, another weekly wrap-up. This is technically the trickiest post I'm doing right now, since it's the only thing I can't really pre-write up. If I were not trying to do 31 days of posts for Blaugust it wouldn't matter, I'd just, skip it sometimes probably. Not a lot new or exciting anyway. I had some craziness at work but I don't blog about work. Probably the most exciting thing this week was Guardians of the Galaxy 3 coming to Disney+, so I finally got to watch that. It's not exactly glowing praise, but…
Blaugust 2023 – Introduction Week

Blaugust 2023 – Introduction Week

There isn't a hard schedule or any real requirements for Blaugust, it's literally just an excuse that people can use to write blog posts. The timing feels really great though considering social media seems to be starting to collapse on itself and maybe people are more primed for "personal blogging". Week two is "introduction week". Since the month started last week on Tuesday and my post then pretty much met the "Welcome to Blaugust" theme, I figure today I could go ahead and keep up with that with an introduction post. I've written plenty of introductions in the past, and…

My Computing Journey – Part 1 – Commodore 64

I often offhand mention the idea of "I've used computers my whole life" but I am not sure I've ever really gone into a lot of detail on what exactly that means. (I probably have but my memory is pretty shit these days). I've decided it might be fun to do a sort of, reminiscing series on the various "key computer points" in my life. Maybe that's not quite the right way to put it, but basically, the eras' surrounding specific computers in my life and what I remember about my time using them. I'm considering doing something similar for…

Weekly Wrap Up (07.30.2023 to 08.05.2023)

Who knows how long this one will last, but I've decided to try something different for Saturdays. Basically, just a sort of, rambly, weekly wrap up of... life. No structured requirements, maybe nothing happened and it ends up being short. Basically just sort of, straight regular journaling. What I've been doing, what I've gotten new, any major events, that sort of thing. I won't discuss work really, except in vague terms, for a variety of reasons. Something little I've been wanting to do, I added some outside speakers to my music set up, so I can listen to music outside…

Welcome to Blaugust 2023

Welcome to Blaugust 2023, I guess, I'm not real sure what that means aside from, maybe, MAYBE, a bit more of an "intense posting schedule". I dunno, I subscribe to Tales of the Arrgonaut blog in my RSS reader, it's apparently something they psudo run each year and have done so for a while, and it seemed like an excuse to motivate more writing. Details on Blaugust are on his blog here. After signing up it seems it isn't required, but it's also sort of originally for MMO/game bloggers. I actually do of course have a games blog, but I…

What I’ve Been Playing – Better Late than Never Edition

So I meant to be way more regular on these things but I've kind of failed at that. Two reasons mostly, I suppose. One, often I decide I want to do a full write up on something instead of a brief write up in one of these posts. Two, mostly I have just been playing Fortnite. I actually want to go on a bit of a tangent regarding Fortnite and Sky, Children of the Light, and paid seasonal passes. I posted a series of posts on Sky: CotL recently. I'd been meaning to write them all out for a while,…

Various Activities of Late

It's been a bit since I really just wrote out a regular blog post so I thought it would be prudent to do so, mostly just touching on some of the stuff I've been doing or thinking about recently. I'll just break things up a bit into some sections, for easy skimming/ignoring. Old Writing Every so often, I get this weird bug to just delete all of my old posts and start fresh and the old content all sucks and blah blah blah. Then that never really works out as hoped and I kind of miss having all the old…
