Twitter Famous
I have been a member of Twitter since 2009. I will be completely honest and say for the first, oh, I don't know, 5 years or so, I was mostly the type of Twitter user who posted things like "I'm home" and "Here's my dinner".Very exciting stuff, let me tell you.But even then, I had high aspirations. As anyone can attest who was around in those early days of social media, it was a common dream to have a large following of...
Discord Hangout
Hey folks,I'm going to be doing a little thing on Discord for Patrons only. I'll be in the Patron Only voice chat on Sunday September 18 at 8PM ET for around an hour. Stop by and chat.

I will likely have to give you a role to be there, so PM me on Discord somewhere and I'...

I Bought A New Microphone
So I've purchased a new microphone. I've spent the last few days researching and in the end I decided to go with the Shure SM7b. I know that it's a cliche podcaster/YouTuber microphone, but I don't care all that much. People use it for a reason. It's really good.The other option was the EV RE20, which is the slightly cheaper brother to the microphone that DistroTube uses. I really liked that mic, but it requires a shock mount ...

My Love Affair With Workspaces
I think anyone who has watched my content for any period of time knows that I have a workspace problem. I use a ton of them, so much so that it has kind of become a meme. Often I have content on 14-15 workspaces at a time. I've talked about this and the reason why I work this way in several videos, so this isn't news to anyone who has watched my videos for some time.However, I do realize that it can sometimes get in the way of my producti...

Mobile Email Apps Suck
Most of my email use is actually on my phone. I've never found an email client on Linux that I really like (I use Thunderbird, but it has so many issues). When I'm on iOS, the email clients are great and plentiful.And while there are many email clients on Android, there aren't many good ones, or at least not any good ones that don't also come with a huge caveat (which I'll talk about later).For years, I've been using Nine ...

Lacking Ideas
I don't know if you guys have noticed or not, but sometimes the videos that come out on the channel are a bit lackluster. I do try to come up with and produce good content.But nobody can create good content all the time. Sometimes there are stinkers.I'll admit that the absolute hardest part of doing this is the ideas behind the content. Coming up with new ideas, especially when you put out as many videos as I do, is really effin' hard...

I Love Fedora
So a couple of weeks ago, my Arch system sh^t the bed. Most of the issues were my fault. Turns out uninstalling Plasma from a Plasma Distro is not a great idea. Who knew? Or maybe I knew, and I did it anyways, because I do what I want, b*tches. Sorry, too much South Park.Anyways, after that happened, I decided that I needed to move away from Arch. I know from some of the snarky comments I received on YouTube that a lot of people had no faith that...
