Journal

What I’ve been doing recently, a blog, a scrapbook, and a place to show what I am currently listening to and watching. It’s also a bit of playground to grab data from a few services I like.

Writing

I try my best to write down a few thoughts each year, but I won’t hold myself too accountable.
