Blogging Problems – Being Topical, Or Writing About Topics That Last?

I’ve got more normal content coming tomorrow, but for today I wanted to cover a thought I just had with regards to what I write on any given day; a problem that most any blogger will understand and relate to.

So Apple Announced Some New Stuff Today. Good For Them.

It’s funny, over the past few months I’ve had quite an influx of older Apple computer hardware come into my possession – were I any other kind of person you would think I would have been all over the Apple announcements today, but nope. Don’t care. Not in a bad way, just in the “eh, …

To Schedule Or Not To Schedule

Here we go, another super rushed end-of-the-night entry, but I’m keeping my “one article each day in September” goal!

I’ve done this before, actually, with …

Repairing Broken Links On The “Psycho Family” Documentary Articles

One of the older articles I’ve written here that tends to get steady traffic is the April 2017 article I wrote on the release of the Documentary for the Psycho Series by YouTube user McJuggernuggets.

I Had A Better Article Planned, Then I Decided To Clean My Keyboard…

So, to give you the short version of the story, I spent about 2 or 3 hours today (mixed with a few other things) cleaning up a keyboard for one of my computers. It was a recently purchased Apple A1048 Keyboard which was purchased in a dirty state. I thought, since I had the time …

So I’ve Been Playing Quite A Bit Of Titanfall 2 Lately

It’s funny, for a blog with a moderate focus on gaming I don’t actually write about my own time playing games all that often. That’s quite probably due to the fact that I rarely actually spend that much time actually playing games – sometimes taking breaks spanning multiple months between times when I’ll seriously fire …
