Day 6 of the #100DaysToOffload 2022 Series:
Recently I went 10 days without using a computer. I thought it would be harder than it was.
In honor of the new year, here's looking back at my desktop from 10 years ago and how it compares to today.

I'm going to do my best to suck at this less this year. Fingers crossed.

Day 33 of the #100DaysToOffload 2021 Series:
Microsoft is now embedding ads into Windows itself (has been for a while now). These ads can literally crash their shiny new OS. Yet another reason to just stick with Linux.

Day 32 of the #100DaysToOffload 2021 Series:
Just watched Free Guy, and it got me thinking of AI and ethics and other weird stuff. I'm not a philosopher by any stretch of the imagination, so maybe this all sounds stupid. I don't know. Ignore me if it does.
Day 31 of the #100DaysToOffload 2021 Series:
This is honestly a question I never thought I'd have, and the fact that it's rolling around in my brain kind of makes me feel a little nauseous.
Day 30 of the #100DaysToOffload 2021 Series:
Yea, I got tired of waiting....
Day 28 of the #100DaysToOffload 2021 Series:
Introducing the #Mycroft Mac Plus! Err... Mark II! Ish?

Day 27 of the #100DaysToOffload 2021 Series:
Windows 11 interface has hypothetically leaked. I have some quick thoughts.
Day 26 of the #100DaysToOffload 2021 Series:
Twitter Blue is coming! Yea, I don't care either.
Day 24 of the #100DaysToOffload 2021 Series:
Thinking about making a return to IRC. What do you think?
Day 23 of the #100DaysToOffload 2021 Series:
I've partaken in some crowd funded projects in the past, and sometimes the patience required is..... a lot. This is what I'm still waiting for.
Day 22 of the #100DaysToOffload 2021 Series:
Do I really want a Linux phone? tl;dr, yes I do.
Day 21 of the #100DaysToOffload 2021 Series:
It's not often I'm excited for an announcement from Microsoft, but this is an exception. It's not great, but it's better than where I am right now.
Day 20 of the #100DaysToOffload 2021 Series:
Just finished this book, and I thought I'd write a book review. TL;DR, I liked it. You should read it. Because I said it was good.
Day 19 of the #100DaysToOffload 2021 Series:
Word has come down from on high that we're going to be returning to the office this summer. Probably. So, I guess that means I'm going to need some keyboard recommendations.
Day 18 of the #100DaysToOffload 2021 Series:
Since migrating from write.as to Jekyll, I haven't had any analytics on my page. I've done a little bit of research on it, and this is what I've decided to do.
Day 17 of the #100DaysToOffload 2021 Series:
After seeing several articles recently talking about exa, I decided to give it a whirl. Might be worth your time if you spend any at the command line, especially if you're a git user.
Day 16 of the #100DaysToOffload 2021 Series:
Stallman has returned. Some see this as a good thing, but I just can't get behind that.
Day 15 of the #100DaysToOffload 2021 Series:
Lots of people actually trust Google. I trust Google to take as much of my information as they can and use it however they choose. Beyond that, blindly trusting the results of any search engine is probably not the best idea.
