  • For me, it’s the simple memories of playing Quake 3 Arena on Friday nights after school. Crush soda in my cup. A fresh bagel in my hand. Freedom from the responsibilities of homework until Sunday night. I only had the one game so I’d spend the evening exploring different mods, trying to teach myself how to make levels (maps), and of course just frag noobs online until my eyes hurt. I’d stay up super late and when I’d wake up I literally couldn’t be more excited to do it all over again. It was glorious.









  • I can’t stand the topics you mentioned either and I make a big effort to filter them out whenever possible! There’s a tool called https://siftrss.com/ which can be the middle man between you and your RSS feeds. It allows you to filter out any articles containing black listed keywords which is super handy.

    My biggest frustration about modern RSS feeds is that the articles are often incomplete. Some clients are able to get the full feed anyway but it usually results in broken formatting.

    Here are my favorite news sources:













  • The worst car I’ve ever driven was also the best because it lasted me until I was able to get on my own two feet and afford a new one: Nissan Sentra 97’.

    • around 200,000 miles the engine literally began falling out from the bottom of the rusted frame. I took it to a mechanic and they ran a wire underneath to hold it in place. Drove it for 5 more years after that!
    • Driver side window would not stay closed during Chicago winters so I glued it shut.
    • Dashboard lights burnt out.
    • Muffler would scrape across the pavement as I courted my girlfriend (now wife) around town.
