Matt's Blog

I just finished 11/22/63 by Stephen King.

I’ve made some changes, and I’m pretty damn happy with them.

I didn’t come up with the idea of a /now page.

I used to make fun of people who littered their laptop lids with stickers.

One thing is for sure, having a blog has meant sharing more online.

Maybe I just have odd ears, but I’ve never found a pair of in ear earbuds that actually fit my ears.

So yesterday, I wrote about my home lab fiasco.

I thought I learned this lesson years ago, but apparently not.

A few days ago, JCPROBABLY wrote this post about finding and maintaining friendships as an adult.

I’ve been writing a lot about blogging during Blaugust, but I’m fascinated by the whys and hows of why people write and read blogs.

I’ve seen several people, including myself, talk about not having something to blog about.

In 2020, which seems like forever ago, I set out on a quest to type faster.

We’re just over half way through Blaugust, and I haven’t written anything for today’s post.

I don’t talk about my health much.

So one of the posts that caught my attention during this Blaugust, was this one by Why I Game.

If you’d asked be six months ago, I’d tell you I’ve been creating things for 20 years.

So, since I’ve started scrobbling my music (after I created the /now page), I’ve been on a bit of a music discovery kick.

Sometimes I think I have more fun scripting for my blog than I do actually blogging.

If you’ve followed me over the last few months as I’ve worked to fill this blog with content, you’ll know that I’ve struggled with adding a comment system.

I wrote a few days ago how I took a bet to use Emacs.

So, usually I don’t mock people for being creative.

I used to chew gum a lot as a kid.

Back in June, I wrote a post about a script I wrote to automate posting to this blog.

I have talked about AI before on my podcast and on my YouTube channel, but my primary use case is using AI for tech support.

So with Blaugust going on, I’ve found so many new blogs to read.

I’m writing this blog post from Emacs.

This post is in reply to Forking Mad and their post Dark web sites.

I’ve seen some of my fellow bloggers talk about an August event called Blaugust.

A few months back, I asked the question: “Why aren’t there any book clubs for dudes?”.

When you’re a blogger, one of the things you do is talk about blogging.

This book took me months to read.

I have nearly 60GB of wallpapers on my hard drive.

I was on a roll.

I love football.

A couple of days ago, I wrote about how awesome it feels to get things done, and the satisfaction that comes with completing things you want to do.

Last year when I set up my new desk, one of the things I promised myself I’d do is make sure all the cables were properly managed.

In the last three days, in addition to my regular day job, I’ve recorded 10 videos for my YouTube channel.

This post is an ode to food.

I love blogging, and I’ve talked about that a lot.

It’s really odd for a person who studied history to not be able to remember things.

I have been a reader for most of my life.

When I first used the Internet, way back in the mid-90s, it wasn’t really a thing people thought about.

I know a lot of you follow me over on The Linux Cast, but for those of you who don’t, it’s probably odd to hear me say that I’ve hopped to a different distro.

I don’t vibe code.

Back in college and a little after, I worked the third shift stocking shelves at Kroger.

I talked just a few days ago about how I’ve been in a severe reading slump lately.

I’m a writer by trade.

I can’t believe we’re half way through this year already.

If you’ve been following along, you’ll know that I’ve become a bit obsessed with this blog.

This was supposed to be a great year for reading.
