I Bought an iPad
So, I bought an iPad. I, like many people, went through my Apple phase back in college. I fortunately grew out of it or my bank account would have severely suffered over the years. That doesn't mean I don't have envy every once in a while for those Apple folks who get to enjoy that awesome hardware. But that usually goes away pretty quickly.Honestly, I didn't even think I'd ever own another non-iPhone Apple product again. Their co...

Early Thoughts on Nano
I am writing this in nano. I challenged myself earlier thisweek to use Nano for a whole month, and I've stuck with it foralmost a week.Almost.I'm not quitting, but I've come so close so many times.Actually, I come close every single time I open the damneditor. Yes, it's that bad.No, I guess it's not that bad, but it's that bad for someonewho has been using Vim for years. Which is me.Most of my thoughts on Nano I'm goin...

Where Do I Get Video Ideas?
Someone asked me how I come up with my ideas for videos, so I thought that I'd write a blog post about it. I don't know that what I'm about to write is all that interesting, but who knows, maybe it will inspire someone.So the plain answer to the question of where I get my ideas is "all over the place." No doubt everyone has notice that we Linux YouTubers tend to copy each other quite blatantly. I *try* not to do that too much,...

Wrapping Up Redcore - Things That Could Be Better
This blog post was supposed to be done last week, but alas it got away from me. I still wanted to cover this topic, though, so I might as well go ahead and do it. I know it has been a while since I lost the challenge, but this is the last bit I needed to do before I can put it in the dustbin of history, as they say. So I want to talk about 5 things that I feel Redcore could do better. In the exclusive [patron only podcast](https://patreon.com/the...

Gruvbox Remains The BEST Color Scheme!
How many people do you think could write a blog post about their obsession with a color scheme? Well, you know at least one, because that is what I'm about to do. Now, I have in fact made a [video](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uWjNQbhGz4E) about it already. I have considered making another video about it.I love Gruvbox that much.The funniest thing is that I didn't used to like it at all. Brown isn't really my color, neither is oran...

I Have a Hoarding Problem
I have a problem.I don't think it's actually a problem, but it feels like it's a problem.I hoard tabs.Now I don't think there's anyone who watches my content that is all that surprised that I like tabs in every application, nor that I tend to use them an awful lot.

I'm Bored With Redcore
I'm almost, almost, 2 months into the #6MonthLinuxChallenge. Almost.I'm sick of Redcore. It's not as if there is anything wrong with it, though I'm having an issue keeping my clock appropriately set. Redcore has been fine, as I said in my video a few days ago. It's stable enough, I have access to most of the software that I want, and it just works.But I'm astonishingly bored with it, to tell you the truth. Maybe my expecta...
