    I was not excited when Andrew Huang announced that he would be writing a book. I’ve been online long enough to be weary of “books written by YouTubers”. But that was unfair of me. Andrew Huang has been a goldmine of awesome and entertaining videos, helpful and useful advice, as well as a very large…

    Just finished reading Essentialism by Greg McKeown. For me this was a very “front loaded” self-help book (one of my least favorite kinds). Most of the advice that the book has to offer is revealed in the introductory chapters. What fallows, then, is just a bunch of examples of how the advice can be applied…

    When I got Ableton Live I said to myself that that would be the last music-related purchase in my life. It has everything I need and more. And yet here I am. I got FL Studio and I’ve been playing around with it and LOVING it. I think something about the workflow just works for…

    First week of the year was a tough one. It started with some pretty serious bombings from russia aka lack of sleep aka the rest of the week was fucked. Shoutout to the US Patriot air defense systems that helped Ukrainian soldiers shoot down 10/10 hypersonic missiles that russia has long claimed are "absolutely undownable".…

    I generally only get my news from official resources or resources that have done so well with providing accurate information so consistently that I choose to trust them (though, with a grain of salt). One of those resources posted (this morning) that tonight there will likely be another attack with rockets from russia. I know…

    A couple of people are moving out of the apartment building I live in and it’s stressing me out. It means nothing. It means their landlord sucks or it means they found a better place or it means the apartment is too small for them now that they have a kid AND two dogs. But…

    I was sick the past week and that means that I was dehydrated. I usually don’t drink coffee when I’m dehydrated, so I had a week-long break. I still drank lots of tea, but the effect is different; we all know that. Anyway, yesterday I woke up feeling exhausted so I had a cheeky little…

    I’ve had to stop drinking coffee because it was adding fuel to the fire of my anxiety. I hate doing these "responsible" things because while they make my overall life better (less anxiety is always good) they steal little moments of joy from me. Making a V60 coffee when I get up has been my…
