Beyond All Reason also know as BAR is an open source, real-time strategy video game. I downloaded BAR, a while back, and I believe it is still free as of this day (8-7-25). The pacing of this game has been phenomenal, even paradoxical, something which I would describe as “chill-tense”.

As I was researching how to market to developers, since I believe I’m starting to be in that space, I came across an article. According to this source developers “hate marketing”, I don’t necessarily disagree with some of these points, however, a point I did disagree with was they hate it to an …
I chose this blog title because it rhymes! I will, however, be talking (writing) about clouds or more so cloud computing. This day marks a noticeable improvement to my project. I’ll explain.

I'm going to give you a couple of tips about traveling to Mexico. One thing that the U.S. does well is providing free bathrooms. However, when you go to Mexico, I recommend taking a handful of coins so you can use the bathrooms, as you typically have to pay for access. They do…
In this post I'm am just messing around with word art. I'm also seeing what improvements I can make to the blog and it's properties.
Today! I'm gonna take a different approach. My workflow is rigid and messy. I save content to a file as to not lose it yet I can still lose the file among thousands of files, file types, drafts. I write today from the admin site. I built it, it should works for me. The site wasn't made with me w…
On a summer day, my spouse and I set out for adventure and wonder. The location: Yellowstone National Park. The drive was long, the supplies were many, and I saw the best encounter the worst. Here is my report.

Upon my quest on growing an audience, I visited different blogs, websites, and anything that would spark an idea or some missing piece of information. I found many things, among them a bloggers’ forum. I was intrigued, as I had originally taken a different appr…
Elden Ring has been a masterfully crafted game; it’s practically art from this century. There are many enjoyable aspects of the game, such as the exploration, optimizing my character build, the combat, and the board-game-like mechanics that are a wonder to experience. Personally, I enjoy mixing …
I tried Thunderbird as an email client. An email client is the software you use to send, receive, and manage emails. I kept my existing email address; I just updated the tool I used to manage my emails. My opinion is the aesthetic is nice, the features are useful, and the calendar is up my alley…
After months of using my public library’s 3D printer, I decided on getting my own. I found that owning a 3D printer has downsides, like its bulkiness and the need for optimal printing practices. However, owning a 3D printer also has upsides like faster prototyping and the ability to print comple…
I tasked myself with writing as many blog topics as I could think of one day. I decided to take a new approach regarding writing blogs as I found conjuring up different topics on the spot was not as easy as I first imagined and I would like to improve on my grammar. I started by brainstorming as…
Personally, I like to experiment with the world around me. My initial thought process follows a decision tree. Would this experiment be worth it? Is this experiment fun? What are the costs of experimenting? (materials, time, effort) etc. I’m planning before I begin the venture. If my conditions …
Is open source better? In my opinion, open source for the most part is better (end of blog, carry on). The main topics that come to mind regarding open source solutions are no vendor lock-in, solves my technical limitations, and is accessible. This translates to me as cheap or free, less hassle …
Like many, I occasionally come across an interesting article only to be greeted by a modal that prevents me from reading the content. Many times the modal is asking to download an app, login or whatnot. On safari for iPhone, I came across a nifty feature that removes those pesky modals. Clicking…
In an effort to improve my phone’s functionality, I casually perused through my phone’s settings. I came across my phone’s web browsers’ settings. I use the browser frequently enough so I decided to explore around. I came across the search engine options available. I saw one search engine I wasn…

Modularity, as I understand it, is a design concept where the constituent parts, of a bigger whole, can be interchanged. In my case I incorporate software modularly, however, I have also applied modular designs in real life to great success.
My software development improved when I incorp…
After a brief hiatus; I have returned.
My experience using certain websites has gotten worse. How has your experience been? The websites that easily come to mind are recipe websites. I’d even go as far as calling some of these websites, rude. What I’ve noticed is the website has a sad st…
My partner and I attended a maker space meeting with a section about showcasing the projects you're working on. As we found our seats someone turned around and mentioned to us that they were thinking about us and the project. When they take their dog out for a walk they have to constantly be on …

You’ve made your website and you are ready to deploy. But there are many options and the pricing is all over the place. Where do you start? Well, if you are like me, your primary concern is the budget. This is where “analysis paralysis” pops up its lousy head.
You’ve done your research…
Does it read properly?
Clearly a desktop screen and a mobile screen are different sizes. As such, the sizing of the content should reflect the screen it is being viewed on. Depending on what is being displayed, reading material on mobile should be readable without having to scroll from s…
