There’s a small subset of people who suffer from tinnitus and also enjoy watching people speedrun old video games and I’m one of them. The unfortunate downside here is that many of these speedrunners do so on old school TVs and if your hearing is decent there is …

In 2017 I finished about 18 books and I decided my goal for 2018 was to finish 48 books. This is a pretty hefty increase but thanks to library related services it made trying to hit this goal much easier. In total for 2018 I attempted to read 43 books …

This was the last month of year and I came in under my monthly goal again. Due to a combination of not being able to find anything I was really passionate about reading coupled with the general end of year activities that can either limit or increase how much a …

I was really busy with job interviews in September (will save that for another post) so I only managed to make it through two books this month. Like I noted last month it didn't help that I did a poor job managing my queue from the library. The books that …
