I recently got back from a trip, and it turns out that the microSD card plugged into my MP3 player has gone missing. (I previously wrote about why I still use an MP3 player to listen to music.)

Thankfully I take regular backups of my music so it’s just a matter of getting a new microSD card and restoring the files from the backup.

I sometimes get e-mails from job recruiters. Since I am currently employed in a decent position I haven’t paid too much attention to them. Although I know that I should continue to be open to new opportunities, sometimes I can’t help but wonder when I receive some of them.

A while ago I took one of the old desktop computers in the house and turned it into a basic home server. Right now its main functions are printing and file storage, and most of the time it can be turned off. To make this easy, I’ve kept the default behavior for the power button to shut down the system. But just shutting down a server like this is risky. What if someone is still logged in and working on something?

I bought a new car in 2020, and while I was test-driving it, I noticed something missing: an auxiliary audio (“aux”) port.

I still use a portable music player (sometimes called an “MP3 player”) to listen to my music.

Tuna salad is a simple and delicious dish that goes great in a sandwich or even on its own.

I’m starting a blog on this website. I’ve decided to do this for a few different reasons.

A s’mores twist on crispy rice and marshmallow treats (often known by the brand name “Rice Krispies Treats”). Marshmallows are already part of the usual recipe, so this adds chocolate and graham crackers, giving them a darker color.

A breakfast burrito is a convenient way to enjoy your favorite breakfast fixings, and it’s easy to adjust to your preferences (or whatever you have in your kitchen).
