I’ve been very happy with my move to Namecheap for hosting. The only downside so far has been their SSL certs. They don’t support Let’s Encrypt in their cpanel and instead make you pay for certs. The first year, however, is free! Well, it’s been about a year and I started to get emails about […]
Caldigit TS3 Plus Audio Jack and Spotify
Jan 12 2024 update: Zoom is definitely triggering the issue. Turning off the EQ in spotify has solved it for Spotify. I think when Zoom is trying to aggressively process audio it can sometimes trigger the issue across the system. Leaving the zoom call fixes it. As near as I can tell there isn’t a […]
Do you have any thoughts on programs or stacks for learning web development?
A friend asked me this recently and I wanted to capture my response. I’m curious to look back on it in a few years to see what will have changed. Assuming they want to work on the web: there’s a few primary categories of programming computers you need to know about: I do think it’s […]
DuPage County Hardcore
There was a surprisingly robust hardcore music scene in the extremely suburban county I grew up in. I was never fully in that world for a lot of reasons; however, I hung out on the periphery and have a fondness for it. Recently I ran across the work by Dave Hofer to digitize the music […]

iPhone audio not working on a 2015 Mazda5
If your iPhone isn’t working with your Mazda5 the fix might be as simple as adding a song to your Music library. On a Mac I needed to do this by plugging the phone into my computer and choosing an album to sync to my phone. Once I did that everything else I cared about […]
Vinyl Record “Now Playing” Shelf
Finally tackled this project to make an record shelf for our currently playing record! We’ve needed one for a while and I couldn’t stomach buying one when I knew it’d be an easy project. Thanks to my wife for being so patient. Shelf is made from a single oak board and finished with paste wax […]

Bug Drop! Ad Findings
After releasing Bug Drop!, my collaborator, Steve, started to get curious about running ads for it using Apple’s ad platform. He decided to give it a shot because it wasn’t that expensive and, hey, if it works that means more people get to experience the game! So he fired up a few ad types. CPM […]
