Thoughts

This is a list of thoughts I've had recently. Some of them are long, some aren't.

  • Alright, we've got some dynamic content creation happening on this website!

    It is my hope that I'm going to be more likely to create content for this site now. This of course requires that I'm on my computer to do things, but I never liked writing from my phone anyway.

  • My two-year-old hasn't spoken at all at school after three months at Kita.

    But for the first time ever, she sang, apparently while a lot of her classmates were napping and with the few other kids who didn't want to nap.

    Twinkle, twinkle, little star in English.

  • I'm fully aware that most decisions are made from an emotional perspective from our reptilian brain and then rationalized with our neocortex.

    That's why I feel more than a bit of disappointment with my obsession of the Gigabyte Brix line of mini PCs.

    I first bought one in Japan for $45 to use as a streaming box (and no, I'm not gonna tell you what I stream on it, nosypants).

    It's honestly my favorite computer I've ever owned, for many reasons:

    • Extremely, extremely good looking
    • Extremely power efficient
    • Heavy enough to take seriously (sorry, Raspberry Pi)

    As a result, I'm very strongly considering selling a bunch of my older tech and then picking up a Ryzen-compatible Gigabyte Brix and tossing in an SSD and HDD. Then I'd be able to use that as my home main and it'd also be my home computer.

    Do I need a home computer? No. I don't even have an obvious place to put one. But I want one. Thanks, reptilian brain!

  • I've been informed that I'm deficient in a few different vitamins and minerals:

    • Vitamin D3
    • Selenium
    • Boron

    I started taking a multivitamin a few weeks ago and the extreme sluggishness I felt at the time seems to have dissipated. I'm hoping that by addressing these remaining shortcomings that my energy levels will come back.
