Birds are Surprising Have you ever noticed birds will sometimes fly very close to you when you’re driving a car? Birds are […]
No, no, it’s true. Obviously. quick, make up some excuses… Well, I’ve been really busy with work and stuff. That was terrible. I’ve had other interests? Honestly, these days posting about anything on the internet feels like a dumb idea. Why should I give free content away for the robots to steal? My social media […]
Hey, it’s been a year, hasn’t it? Throughout, I was listening to music. Some really excellent stuff these past 12 months and this is in no way comprehensive.

A small textual recording of what life has been like for me, living through the COVID-19 pandemic in rural New Brunswick while underemployed. I posted my initial reaction to the COVID-19 outbreak back in March. At […]
(non-existent third party commentator) Hold up. Are you really going to spin 2000 words on ripping CD music? In 2020? In the middle of a global pandemic? me: yes. Yes I am. NETPC: Dude, just use iTunes/Windows Media Player/whatever. me: Those apps use dithering and error correction on the music you’re ripping. They’re not bit […]
