  • An Arte Documentary Series about Cars

    Reading Time: 2 minutesLast night I watched two episodes in a documentary series about a brief history of cars.

  • Migrating from Audible to Audiobookshelf

    Reading Time: 2 minutesIn the current day and age moving from Amazon is not unappealing.

    Reading Time: < 1 minuteWriting a blog post every day is a challenge that I have tried to be consistent with for several seasons if not a year and a half or more. It requires inspiration, and doing interesting things. If life becomes routine, or if events became normal, then writing inspiration fades away. After…
