Now
Here you will find what I’m up to! Inspired by many other personal websites/blogs!
Last updated on September 8, 2025.
Books I’m reading
The Hunger Games
I love this series. It’s super cool! I’ve discovered AO3 – some messed up stuff on there…
The Bible
This book is really good… and old too! I’ve got to make a habit of it though. I’ve started my way down the book of Romans. Definitely recommend it.
What I’m watching
Various youtube videos
I almost-exclusively watch youtube videos. I haven’t sat down to watch a proper film or TV show in a while cough cough hunger games. I probably should. My youtube history is very diverse, with topics ranging from radio to memes and niche videos about trains and other cool stuff.
The Hunger Games
Catching Fire was the best, but I enjoyed the others. I have no idea why they thought a shaky ahh camera was good for the 1st movie. Maybe that filmmaking style was all the rage in 2011. Read more about it All 5 movies are coming back to my local theater so you betcha I’m gonna go!
Instagram Reels / Youtube Shorts
My algorithim is questionable. One minute, some cool nerdy video about trains or electrical stuff, then next minute it’s a video related to Instagram’s favourite word. (you know what I mean). I’m getting alot of christian reels too! On youtube shorts, it’s a mix of podcasts, gen alpha brainrot, and tiny channels posting about cool stuff. (similar to niche fb groups) – Oh, and that ‘you wanna see something cool?’ guy, iykyk
OS’s and computers that I’m using
Fedora Linux
Trusty linux distro I’ve been using since 2021! It’s the middle road between Debian and Arch so it’s been rock-solid. Fedora is what I use to make this website! The Gnome workflow seems really intuiative. People complain about not having a minimize button but with dynamic workspaces I don’t see why you’d need it. I do have KDE installed too when I feel like it. I use it on my laptop (dualbooted with windows 11) and have used it before on my desktop PC. (Can’t be bothered now. I know.)
Windows
Adobe, MS Office don’t work on linux. I have to use both for school. I don’t really mind using Windows because I like seeing how old parts of the OS can get and all the different things it has built in you don’t normally see. Basically, I also like windows, at least before MS got in and enshittified it lately. I do like Windows 11’s design style. On my PC I have themed it to look like windows 7…
Android
One UI 6 on my Samsung Galaxy A53. I want to upgrade but new phones are expensive… I like how intuitive android is, and how you can sideload apps, unlike iOS. I used to have an iPhone 8 Plus. The one thing I miss about it is iOS’s design. The apps that look like native apps look so good. The only thing I didn’t like was the way the home screen worked.
iOS
I have an iPhone 8 plus that i pull out of the drawer every so often. I love the native app style, at least before liquid glass. If iPhone had sideloading and slightly cheaper hardware I would switch. One good thing about iOS is that every social media app is way more polished than their android counterparts.
My Laptop
My laptop is an ASUS VivoBook M1503Q. I thought I got the 144hz version but i got the 60hz (pays to look at the details of what you buy on pbtech) ☹️ - This laptop is what I’m using to make this website. This laptop has been absolutly rock solid and I still get impressed by the OLED on this thing.
The only photo I could find of my laptop. Here I’m programming an ESP32 for WLED (didn’t work out in the end, but I’ve still got it so I might use it)
My PC
I also use Windows 10 on my desktop PC, a Acer Nitro 50 I got for free! I’ve upgraded the GPU to a GTX 1080, the RAM to 32GB and have added a few HDDs for storage. It’s i5-10400 isn’t the most powerful but I can’t exactly complain. I use it for all sorts of things, from gaming to creative work to watching youtube. Linux was too much of a hassle on it as I use Adobe and Microsoft Office. I tried booting Windows 7 on it too but that somehow caused my SSD to fail. It worked in another computer though but not the Acer. I still don’t know why that is.
Vehicle’s I Drive
1998 Toyota Corolla
The liftback version of a 1998 toyota corrola is the best corolla in my opinion. It is an absolute dream to drive and everything feels tight. The accelerator is a little soft but then again it’s not a sports car.
2005 Toyota Wish (JDM!)
This JDM station wagon beast has a massive blind spot in the form of a massive pillar going down the side of the windscreen. This means if the road angle is a specific curve to the right then I can’t see oncoming traffic. It also drives like a tank, which is not a compliment.
