I don’t have a full post ready this week, so instead I’m posting this thing I made for fun. I’ll probably do this type of post every now and then, but most likely in addition to the normal posts. Enjoy!

I’ve been doing a lot of spreadsheets lately and thought it might be appropriate to create a tracker with a little more detail than the text file I was listing shows I watched in. I decided to list each show I’ve watched recently along with checkboxes to indicate which shows I’ve started watching, finished watching, … Read moreCreating a Television Show Tracker With Google Sheets
I have a lot of photos, and I’m always looking for better ways to store, organize, and share them. I’ve used local folders, Google Drive, Apple devices, iCloud, and other solutions – no single choice is perfect, and they all have their merits and disadvantages. Recently I decided to start using Google Photos more. I … Read moreGoogle Photos: A Brief Review

Previously users that chose not to subscribe to GitHub … Read moreUnlimited Private Repositories for All GitHub Users
It’s nearly 2019, and I am obligated to acknowledge it, but I didn’t have any ideas for a creative post. Instead, I’ll leave you with this breathtaking picture of Mount Everest, symbolizing the journey to achieve your dreams (or something). As I’m writing this, it’s still nearly a week until the beginning of 2019, but … Read moreHappy New Year!
As I am writing this, I have starred 264 repositories on GitHub. I decided to pick a few of my favorites and share them with you, in no particular order. base65536 An encoding system designed to condense as much data into short strings of text as possible using 65,536 (216) different Unicode characters.
