May 2025
Brief thoughts:
I've decided to create a new website. I'll be moving my now pages over there eventually. The bones of the site are more or less complete at this point, but there are some kooky kinks that need to be fixed and mobile view needs some work, but I'm pretty happy with how it is looking so far. I'm planning to use 11ty (or maybe Hugo) to turn the site into a static generated site, which will ultimately make it easier to set up a rss feed and keep the site updated. I've never done this before so we'll see.
I watched:
- Flow
I read:
- A Psalm for the Wild-Built by Becky Chambers
- A Prayer for the Crown Shy by Becky Chambers
- I'm A Luddite
I played:

I listened:
- A lot of Michael Hurley, especially this version of Light Green Fellow
April 2025
Brief thoughts:
This month has gone by faster than expected.
I lost a week to plumbing issues and the stress of dealing with said issues.
My pottery class is coming to an end and I will miss it greatly—most of what I created was wonky but I had a good time and look forward to enrolling in another class in the future.
With help from my dad, the car now has a bed in the back for future adventures. Once I have my set up a little more formalized, I'll be sharing the details.
For the month of March and April, I have been writing a zine on Brain Rot. I'm still writing it. My goal was to release a zine a month, but I've since reassessed that goal and decided on aiming for 4 zines this year which feels more realistic given my pacing—that said, if I feel like I can do more, I will!
I watched:
- The Boy and the Heron
- The Real Housewives of Salt Lake City (All the current seasons minus the reunion episodes because I don't care about them rehashing drama from two episodes earlier. Probably won't watch shows from other locations—Mormonism sets it apart.)
I read:
- https://permacomputing.net/
- Program or Be Programmed by Douglas Rushkoff (Or at least, the introduction and first chapter).
I played:
- Hypospace Outlaw (video game)
I listened:
- Sweet Delirium (My coworker's band's first album!)
