Hello
Welcome to my homepage! I program and tinker with computers. This site is a collection of notes, ramblings, things I like, and more. My hobbies include video games, TTRPGs, and collecting Transformers figures.

Pink Floyd at Pompeii
Pink Floyd at Pompeii is a live concert film, originally released in 1972, where the band plays in the amphitheater in the ruins of Pompeii. Last weekend I had the excellent of experience of seeing a showing of the 2025 IMAX Remaster. The remastered footage looked great, and the remastered audio was mind-blowing. The original recording was not of particularly great quality, but the mastering work done by Steven Wilson was truly impressive, making the recording sound as if it were originally meant to be an album release, which sounded especially good on the movie theater’s sound system.
I'm Doing Grad School
The other day, I received my acceptance letter for an online Computer Science Masters program. There is some administrative minutiae to complete before I can register for classes, but it’s really happening! It will be difficult to balance my schoolwork while also working full time, but I’m excited to learn all I can! I’m hoping to pivot my career into systems programming, I can’t be doing CRUD web apps forever. 😔 I’d love to be able to do kernel or compiler development full time.
Life After League of Legends
I have played exactly two games of League of Legends in the past 35 days. Since I started playing the game back in 2013, I’ve consistently played matches almost daily. I’ve had breaks of a week or two, usually to dive into some other game that was flavor of the month, but for the past 12 years, League of Legends was a constant part of my life. About a month ago, I was playing a game, doing really poorly, and realized I’m not actually enjoying it. I wondered if I would be having fun if were winning that match. I realized I would not. So after that game, I just stopped. Something about the game just no longer scratches that itch in my brain. It’s a very odd feeling to just suddenly not like something that was a major part of your life for so long.
