About

I made this about page because showing you my personality through the things I enjoy & abhor is personally preferable to describing it. I've always disliked that "tell me a bit about yourself" in personal environments. This page is still under construction.

Books

I like to read to learn about the world around me or get laughs. I have 42 books in my library, and I'm always looking for more. I prefer Non-Fiction, so I read about 0.0% fiction and 0.0% non-fiction.

The Noma Guide To Fermentation

This graph below is my book status backlog for the past rolling year. This ignores books from before then to ensure that I'm keeping up my desired reading pace of 24 books for every 12 months with 70/30 Fiction to Non-Fiction. I have books in my backlog to-read.

Random Review

Uncle Tom's Cabin
by Harriet Beecher Stowe

Read May to July 2023

One of the most infuriating works I've ever read.

Death! Strange that there should be such a word, and such a thing, and we ever forget it; that one should be living, warm and beautiful, full of hopes, desires and wants, one day, and the next be gone, utterly gone, and forever!

Games

My preference is playing indie games and games I physically own. I still play my Gameboy Advance and I own 3 different DSes. Not featured below: several untouched games from Steam and Itch.io. These are the main games in my rotation nowadays.

IdleOn
Shattered Pixel Dungeon
Etrian Odyssey II: Heroes of Lagaard
World Ends With You
Advanded Wars
Professor LAyton and The Curious Village

Podcasts

I mainly listen to audiodramas and horror podcasts, but tend to listen to Non-Fiction or Media Podcasts when I'm doing work. These have been my favourite listens so far.

These are some bookmarks for pages & media I've enjoyed on the net. In the future when I have areas for this site similar to how I map out my life, the links will be moved to respective sectors.

Grim Grains

Failure Resume

"A failure resume isn’t just a showcase of failure in and of itself, but also a document of all the spectacular ways you’ve worked hard towards your own goals and accomplishments. In many ways, it validates your struggle and your effort."

Personal Finance

I had been looking up ways persons were using Ledger. Instead I got a paradigm shift on how I was viewing my personal finances and a cool new blog to follow. I now use beancount, but I come back to this post every now and again. The calculations for short and long runaway (i.e. when we run out of money) are very helpful to consider .

A spreadsheet budgeting tool for people who need budgeting analytics, but not too much
