Abraham Kim last shared their writing better to drink bad water
The air in Campbell hall was parched by the radiators. It stung his skin as soon as he walked in. The thirst had gotten worse after the double espresso. He had drunk the last of his water bottles the night before. The caf was closed and for some reason the...

Awards and Acting like I'm Above them

Learned yesterday that my dad was awarded MVP this year for his company. Usually I frown upon awards. I'm usually be the first to declare that these things don't matter, but as I read the company email my mom forwarded me containing his coworkers' comments I couldn't help but smile...

Because of COVID I stopped going out to eat with friends as a regular thing. In fact, I stopped even going out to eat or getting take out at all. I can't remember the last time I didn't cook my own meal.

Serverless?

I'm suffering a revival of decision paralysis. My dilemma: to go serverless or continue running my own machines/

When it comes to making software for the web, the part I fear most is server management. It can seed in me deep anxiety, low in my gut even while on vacation...

Arriving too Soon

Been discussing with my penpal why I can never finish a short story. He and I agree that we approach writing in two phases. First we free-write to explore the idea of the story then we scoped-write to turn it all into a readable piece. 

I admitted that I don't allow...

No Streak Feature... yet

Okay so I guess this shows you the priority differences between me and ArcticLoon. Lol but actually I am in the process of implementing streak functionality.

I was wondering how people go about it. Based on how timezone-bug ridden the old site's implementation was I had the idea that maybe Baz had...

Hi this is the first post

We are the originals. We come over from an old home called many different names by different people. But the name we most often identify with as originals seem to be the one that include a number 200. I don't know where that number comes from. Maybe it had something...
