I'm usually quite a slow reader when it comes to fiction, so it feels awesome that I blew through Parable of the Sower by Octavia E. Butler just in the course of this weekend! After reading Kindred last year, I feel like Butler is the master of the compromise ending - you got what you wanted, buuuuut there were some complications.

I learned today, by way of Hyperkin showing off a new Sega Genesis compatible portable called the Mega95, about the Sega Nomad... a Sega Genesis compatible portable released in '95! As a Genesis kid I'm shocked I didn't know about this growing up and immediately want it.

When I started this blog last year, it replaced how I was hosting my custom built resume at the time. After some quick work this afternoon, I've now got that resume updated and hosted under a subdomain here (link at the top of the page). If you want to read more about why my resume is built in TypeScript and Preact, then head to the github repo for it.

I spent last evening transitioning this blog from using SASS and Bootstrap to Tailwind CSS. I use Cloudflare Pages which has excellent features like preview instances for branches (and being free). Of course, I shipped without previewing in production because I forgot about that feature.

I somehow missed the full album release, but Andrew W.K.'s latest from 2021 is an album I have been listening to on repeat lately. To me, the album is one of self-empowerment and remembering what you've fought for. 🤘🏻
