In the midst of a TikTok binge, the algorithm™️ ironically introduced me to Foqos, an open source app that works exactly like Brick -- but for free. Since installing and actually using the app, I've noticed that my time has expanded significantly. I set Foqos up in December last year, but I've only noticed the...

Week note 2025-W44

For most of my life, I’ve suffered with IBS. Over time, I had gotten used to being in a constant state of bloating, constipation, and exhaustion. What finally ended this feeling was a strict, calming morning routine. I was hesitant to share this publicly because I thought IBS is quite an embarrassing problem to have...

Do you think your life is boring? Your house isn't aesthetic, your thoughts aren't interesting? And whenever you get on video, you cannot, for the life of you, not cringe at the sound of your disgusting voice? UGHHH Do I really sound like I have a cold all the time?! Well, I certainly think that. And whenever you...

The thing about bad tools is that it not only hurts your productivity in the short term. It insidiously hurts your long-term happiness.

The fundamentals of Object Oriented Programming. What are objects? What are classes? Create a basic object from a class.

Gooooood evening and Happy Sunday! This week, I've been thinking a lot about what prevents us from exercising our creativity and leaves us in an inspiration rut? Trapped in the standardized education system for the most plastic, formative years of our cognitive development, we are taught either to conform to the mold...

Gooooood evening and Happy Sunday! One thing that has been dawning on me is that I set myself up for an easy, risk-free life. Even the process to get here itself wasn't extremely difficult. Sure, I worked hard at the moment, but these bursts of energy were rarely sustained over time. I took the easiest classes in...

Gooooood Evening and Happy Sunday! Before I start, I wanted to apologize for not sending out an issue last week. There's no excuse and a (hopefully) compounding thing shouldn't be interrupted unnecessarily. So, I'm sorry. Won't happen again. Getting back to our regularly scheduled program, I've been thinking about the...

Gooooood evening and Happy Sunday! We're headed into the second week of February—a great time to check in with yourself and make sure you're sticking with your resolutions. One thing I noticed in the middle of last week was that we have a perfectly rectangular calendar for this month: This happens once every 200...

Gooooood evening and Happy Sunday! It's the last day of January and we aren't facing any shortage of crazy things happening in the world. You're probably hoping that everyone would shut up about the GameStop thing already. However, the entire story is too popcorn-worthy to not talk about. Besides, if there's any sort...

We got a new president on the 20th with a deluge of Bernie memes, promising an end to the world of yesterday and a new, magical era of tolerance, humility, and good manners. While Bernie...

Gooooood evening and Happy Sunday! We are at a monumental time in history— with a president who got impeached twice (because the first time wasn't enough), historic levels of deplatforming, and a pandemic that does not seem to be cooling down. With social media usage at an all time high and simultaneously...

Gooooood morning and happy Sunday! Coming into the first week of 2021 was like jumping out of a burning building into a stack of needles. While the events from last week has inevitably left everyone feeling at least a bit jaded, it's good to remind ourselves that this isn't all there is. Here are some interesting...
