New Laptop!

Posted on January 27, 2022 by jwalters

I recently picked up a new laptop for myself! My last one still works except for the battery, which doesn’t last very long and isn’t easily replaceable. For the last decade or more I’ve been a Linux-only user. I won’t go into the Windows vs Linux vs Mac because I honestly don’t care anymore! I’ve…

Blogging vs Microblogging

Posted on January 26, 2022January 15, 2022 by jwalters

Something I’ve noticed as I get back into this blogging thing is most blogs I come across don’t post random things. I would call most of what I’ve seen articles instead of posts. They’re structured and most are trying to provide some kind of information. I guess I should include my own blog in this…

On Waking Up Early

Posted on January 23, 2022January 11, 2022 by jwalters

I’ve recently changed up my morning routine which used to include setting my alarm for 0515 and then hitting snooze for at least an hour. This was much improved over my previous routine which was waking up at the very last minute and then rushing to get the dog walked, exercise done, showered, breakfast all…

These Posts Suck

Posted on January 19, 2022January 10, 2022 by jwalters

Look, I’m not a writer. I have written in the past and not to brag but a story I wrote in 7th grade did win 1st prize in a regional competition **knocks the dust off shoulder**. Every time I start a new blog I get extremely self-conscious. I start asking myself things like “who are…

What Is Considered Social Media?

Posted on January 17, 2022January 10, 2022 by jwalters

I’ve been challenged by what is and what isn’t social media. A few definitions from Merriam-Webster. Definition of social media : forms of electronic communication (such as websites for social networking and microblogging) through which users create online communities to share information, ideas, personal messages, and other content (such as videos) [1]https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/social%20media Definition of social…

Social Media Break: Day 7

Posted on January 15, 2022 by jwalters

I had to count the days to make sure it had only been a week. It feels like it has been so much longer. I have been making an effort to be more aware of time and how I’m spending it. I’m using timers a lot for things like watching tv so that I realize…

My Word of the Year for 2022

Posted on January 14, 2022January 10, 2022 by jwalters

I’ve never tried to “theme” a year by one word, or by any words to be honest. I’ve never been good at setting goals, actually, I take that back. I’m *excellent* at setting goals but not great at following through with them! I stopped setting goals many years ago because at that time I didn’t…

Dead Tree Books or Kindle?

Posted on January 11, 2022January 9, 2022 by jwalters

I’ve mentioned in another post that I set a goal this year to read at least 10 pages of a book per day. I’ve had no issues at all sticking with that but I stumbled across BookTube, which is a niche on YouTube that has to do with, you guessed it, books! Every channel I’ve…

Stoicism and Me

Posted on January 10, 2022January 9, 2022 by jwalters

I discovered Stoicism about 4 years ago. It wasn’t much more to me than a few quotes that I thought would show that I was a “deep thinker”. I wasn’t. That changed in 2020/2021 with the phrase “Memento Mori” or “Remember you must die”. Throughout my life, I’ve been healthy so death never registered. I…

SM Break: Day One

Posted on January 9, 2022 by jwalters

After deleting Facebook, Twitter and Instagram from my phone yesterday there was some big “Ok, what now” energy. I made a list of things to do whenever I’m feeling bored and I’m going to get a die so I can roll that if nothing looks appealing. If I go that route then I have to…
