Note Taking Journey
With the start of a new year, I’ve once again circled back on my note taking workflow. Notes are something that I consider extremely important. From random things I need to jot down and keep track of in my personal life to technical and meeting notes for work, I’ve had need of a personal knowledge…

Fedora 41 Released

NFL Retro Bowl 25
I grew up watching football, was lucky enough to see a couple of Super Bowl wins for my home Steelers before moving away from the area, and then promptly losing interest since there were no streaming options at the time (and NFL Sunday Ticket was absurdly expensive, just like it still is today.) Now living…
