  • Desk 2.0 Continuation

    I haven’t done an update since my last few purchases so I wanted to go over a few items that I decided to get tonight off of Amazon. I’m still in the process of expanding my desk/work area and to a lesser degree, my living room zone. For the immediate goal, I’m working on ensuring…

  • Today’s Desk 2.0 Progress

    The laptop mount came in today and that along with implementing this 10′ coaxial cable that allowed me to reposition my cable modem finished up this weekend’s Desk 2.0 project. I’ll have to take some pictures tomorrow but the main goal was achieved and I have things mostly the way I imagined. However, I have…

  • More Home Decorating Project Ideas

    Once I get a good chunk of this desk 2.0 project completed, my next project will be replacing some of the functionality I lost when I tossed my old couch, coffee table and broken entertainment center away. I still a couch I bought a while back that is decent enough but it feels empty these…

  • Updates on Desk 2.0 Project

    Today, I received the new 27″ Samsung LCD Monitor along with an attachable double shelving unit. I did a small amount of rearranging and my desk overall has cleaned up immensely. However, I did find some issues with pieces of equipment and with these latest changes, I’m thinking about what else I can expand upon.

  • New Home Project: Desk 2.0

    Last year, I did a major overhaul to my workspace and gaming configuration. Besides tossing out old furniture that was moldy, dirty and falling apart, I bought an L-shaped corner desk, got a mat for a new chair and other things to make my general computing area much more ergonomic. However, that space has been…

  • The California Housing Law That We Need

    California is one of those states that unless you’re in the top 1% income bracket, you’re pretty much screwed. And even if you’re in that top 1%, you’ll still be screwed on some level. When it comes to housing though, the state’s situation has been out of control for a very long time (at least…

  • Not The Best Day But I Tried

    Work was blase as I was inundated by trying to make something that has bad requirements work from a technical point of view using three shitty frameworks done through our favorite indy mudshow language javascript. Things became a mess later on as production issues surfaced where I couldn’t really do much without getting distracted and…

  • Finished The Eye of the World Finally

    For the last few days, I pushed myself hard in completing Robert Jordan’s The Eye of the World. I had started it maybe over a year ago but never had the focus to really get traction with the novel. Honestly, I found it quite boring.

  • Really Want Thai Food

    After talking to my friend the other day about drunken noodles, it got into my head and now I can’t stop thinking about it. Of course, I really don’t know how to make drunken noodles but my friend offered to send me a recipe. I was thinking though of just ordering Thai this coming week…

  • Too Much Sleeping Lately

    With my sleep schedule being screwed up again, I find myself sleeping too much as if my body tries to compensate with the outside growing dark early. The hard part is that my mind has been to scattered as of late to be able to get myself into disciplined towards being productive in a single…
