I took a few photos a while ago that I thought looked nice. They were on the blog in a separate post, but I thought that I should recompile them and put them back with a nicer gallery type setup so that you could just click on them to view. ...
The NIU KQi2 Pro came in the mail earlier than I expected—I had it before noon this morning, actually, which was nice because I wasn’t working today and got to take it out of the box and get everything set up with plenty of time. It was cloudy, though, and that turned to rain for most of the afternoon, so I didn’t really get much chance to try it in full, although I’ve gotten generally used to the controls just going around my neighborhood. It’s pretty nice! ...
大家好！ This has nothing to do with anything, and everything to do with my off-hours Mandarin studying strategies. I was looking around the internet last night and I found a neat tool, which also has an offline version. It’s a Chinese-English dictionary—I used to use the Yabla one until it went down earlier this week—this one has a little bit of additional information, too, like HSK levels.

It happened again — I was just playing with fire and wiping my computer as I do when I’m bored (actually, this time, I had a good excuse — I just bought a 2015 MacBook Pro at a flea market and was setting it up so I could use it — I used to have a Framework Laptop, but I sold it because I would rather have had the money. The new MacBook was only $180, and it’s pretty great!). Anyway, I inadvertently wiped the source files for my old blog. I forgot to back this one up, so it’s more-or-less gone. I mean, I have the public HTML files, but I can’t add any new content and I was thinking of starting anew anyway. ...
