    From Cory on social media. Find your space and don’t feel obligated to participate in any of it. This goes with some ideas I had recently on only posting on your own site to avoid angertainment. You’ll read so much about making your personal brand and the places you need to be to make that…

  • 2 Amazing Site Retro Pixel Themes

    by

    I love the look of both localghost and nicchan. I’d love to use nescss for one of my sites in the future. I love that the look of the web is trending fun again instead of the stale cookie cutter version we’ve had for a long time now.

  • 5-Year Timeframes

    by

    Joanna’s post on 5-year timeframes hits at a poignant time for me. I started a new notebook this week and that means I’ve got a front section that looks at my intentions, which I’ve been dreading because I know I made almost no progress on them in the last year. If I’m honest, I haven’t…

    by

    Yes the Mac Mini M4 came out and it’s a beast but that power button is stupid. If you have a 3D printer you can fix it like this. This is super stupid you have to fix a power button though.

  • Guns N’ Roses Discography

    by

    This week I listened to all the albums from Guns N’ Roses. My favourite album was Chinese Democracy released in 2008, which came out after my teenage listening years. The albums I remember from that era are Use Your Illusion I & II which contain my favourite song…Civil War. Every time that came on I…
