I've been writing blog posts on and off for over 20 years. I survived the Blogger era, bounced around platforms, and eventually landed on Micro.blog — where I've been happily tinkering ever since. I dabble in HTML and CSS for fun, I'm a perfectionist about how my posts look, and I have a long …
Three browsers on Mac. One on Android. Each has a specific job and I like it that way.
Brave is my daily driver on both platforms. It handles pretty much everything — general browsing, research, shopping, social media. Privacy-focused out of the box, fast, and I never have to think too hard about …
There's a patch of wild grass behind my tiny house I've never mowed. Something always shows up there — a beetle, a moth, a spider doing its thing. So I made a quiet deal with that patch of ground: I leave it alone, it does its thing.

You might know her from Atypical on Netflix, or as Becca King …
I’ve been a geek my whole life. I just didn’t always have the word for it.
It started early. It survived a Tandy, MS-DOS, Windows 3.1, and decades of blogging across more platforms than I care to count. Eventually it even became the name of this blog.
Which made me start wondering where the word …
I didn’t plan to build an AI writing stack. I just kept getting curious.
That’s usually how it starts with me. One tool, one question, and one thought that won’t leave me alone: could this actually help?
Over the past year, I’ve messed around with ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, and Notion AI. Not because …
I’ve spent a few posts lately talking about how robots make me uneasy. Automation eating jobs. AI making decisions nobody asked it to make. The creeping sense that we’re building things faster than we’re thinking about them. I stand by all of that.
Google is doing a huge overhaul to Maps. It’s not just a map anymore; it’s becoming a personal assistant that uses AI to “see” and “think.” Check out the full story here: Digital Trends Article
