I have been using Obsidian as my note-taking app for a long while, but for most of that time, I’ve used it alongside a dedicated app for to-do lists.

Some time ago, I came across a blog post by Manuel Moreale, in which he discussed what he called “false dichotomies”, a phenomenon he noticed on the Internet.

Obsidian and Zotero are two applications I use extensively and love.

I recently went through (and still am) a pretty bad reading slump.

Some time ago, my laptop went through some major malfunctions, including my file system getting corrupted, which unsurprisingly ended in me having to format my hard drive, losing all the data I had on there.

Two days ago I saw the freshly released film Project Hail Mary at the cinema, and thought it might be fun to share some of my thoughts.

I own a Framework Laptop 13, a laptop whose main design goal is to be as repairable and upgradeable as possible.

This post making fun of “AI-blogging” “guides” showed up in my feed a while ago, and I love it

Transhumanism is broadly understood as a philosophy of life, or a movement, interested in using various types of technology to evolve humanity past its current form, to help people become something more than human—posthumans, as a transhumanist would say.

Our phones, and the Internet we access through them1, are incredibly entertaining and stimulating, in no small part by design.

Recently, I’ve been pretty interested in minimalism.

You may notice that this post uses a lot of semicolons (;) and em-dashes (—).

For a while now, I have been wondering how we would communicate with aliens1 if we ever got to talk to them.

Update: This post was first written when I created the first website under this domain, when there were only supposed to be posts of the style now present in the Essays section.
