Spitefully Updating My Blog
This all came about when I saw my buddy working on some code on our flight to Alaska. We are on vacation currently with the rest of our college friend group.
I asked him what he was working on, and he said he was working on a blog. We discussed for a while, and that led me to showing my personal blog (here). He dogged on me for having only two posts - one of which was me testing markdown syntax and the second being my minecraft guest network blog post.
To be fair, he had a point. It is pretty bleak here. Which is why I have spitefully decided to write another blog post about how bleak my blog was!
I am a monkey-see-monkey-do type of person, so in chatting with my buddy about him setting up a blog, I have been inspired to update my blog a little more often than once every two years. Maybe I'll write about what I've been doing at work in a generalized fashion without divulging privileged company information. Maybe I just talk about some homelab stuff. Or maybe I talk about a hobby completely unrelated to technology! I have other hobbies too, like:
- motorcycling
- skiing
- running
- pickleball
- board games
- card games
- Magic The Gathering
- 3D printing
- camping
- traveling
- homelab
Yeah I like that idea - writing about something non-homelab related. A lot can be read about relating to my homelab from my documentation site (see homepage for link) or by perusing my GitHub repo for my cookbooks (homelab recipes).
For fun I've included a picture to forever capture the bleak state of the blog ↓

Edit: this post was written in the top bunk of the airbnb we are staying at in Talkeetna, Alaska. Everyone else but one is in bed, and all the lights are off as I type in the semi-darkness of the summer alaska everlasting twilight. I can feel the individual springs in the worn out mattress pressing up against my bodyweight. However, it's nice to have warm bed to sleep in, so I can't complain.
