Believe it or not, these are actually really good to my ears. And it gives me to do the chance to do something I love: point out where an Apple product is objectively over-priced for what it is. Anyways, let’s get on with it.
Continue readingSo I just checked in with initialcommit.com, the website run by Jacob Stopak, the same person I collaborated with to help explain the internals of version control systems, not once, but twice even. And he published an overview of how he made the site, and what tools he used. As I was looking, I noticed, we took a very different approach to get to two similar endpoints.
If you just want to see what I did, read on. If you want to see the differences, or are just curious about the various ways that sites can be built, read his first, then come back with that knowledge in mind.

Do… do I even have to say anything about this? I got that less than a week ago and it’s, while still functional, it is now useless. Not just from a cosmetic standpoint, more from a “I don’t like microscopic shards of glass in my fingers” standpoint. At least the inner display is fine and that’s the important one. LG… we need to have a talk.
Continue readingSo have you noticed that I’m now using Commento instead of Disqus for providiong comments under all my posts? No I’m serious, go take a look and then come back.
Oh, is.. is something wrong? It’s still Disqus, you say? Indeed it is, for pretty much, two reasons.
Continue readingSo for a while now, any images that are put in the content text of a blog post have been links, you can click on one to be taken straight to the image file itself. Well if you haven’t noticed yet, that has just changed, and, in my opinion, a way that’s for the better. Meet Medium Zoom.
Continue readingSo as of now, there’s about half as many LFS objects in this blog’s repository, the page size has fallen by, well, not exactly a rock, but by a noticeable amount, and as of now, all my images are around the same size again. So what gives?
Well like the trend is on this site, I offloaded some responsibility to something else. And by something, I once again mean Cloudflare. This time, not workers, but a feature standard with the Pro plan that I switched to a bit ago.

Yeah my camera was not happy with this one, prepare for a few blurry shots.
That is the Power Plate by Bionik, a $50, 5500 mAh battery bank for the Nintendo Switch that acts as a Joy-Con charging grip, and a battery for the Switch too, if you want.
But more than just that… it’s really just a USB-C power bank with two Joy-Con rails on the sides.
Continue readingThat’s a hmmm from me. But don’t get me wrong, just because the resolution is higher, does not mean that it’s a better camera. There’s so much that actually goes into a camera that just a single number isn’t telling you. Guess that means that today, we’re taking a deep-dive into camera construction, aren’t we?

So that is a picture of my Switch… and before you get bent out of shape, there’s a glass screen protector on top of a microfiber glasses cleaning cloth separating the screen from the linoleum table surface.
Either way, you cannot tell it from that picture, but I wanted to upgrade that part right in the center of the frame: the console kickstand, give it something a little more rigid. Well as it turns out, that will be impossible without some real effort put in.

Note 1: this is a review of just the case, not the entire phone. That review can be found here.
Note 2: I am in no way affiliated with the YouTube video found in shots taken, “The US President’s $2,614 Per Minute Transport System” by Wendover Productions, it’s just what I happened to have pulled up on the app at the time. Good watch though.
So, the dual-screen case, what feels like LG’s response to the Galaxy Fold. In some respects, it’s cool. In some respects, it’s a downgrade. Either way, I’m here to give as objective as a review of the thing as I can.
