🔥Look who's back, back again
with fun new links - tell your friends
Hello friends! Your old friend David here.
I’ve been off “The Land of Random” since September 2024.
Wow.
Hope you’re all doing well - I’ve missed writing this the past 15 months. Pop a comment below or send an email reply and say hello if you can.
Hope you had a wonderful Christmas and New Years.
A lot has happened since 2024 . . .
Most importantly . . .
We have another son! :) He’s almost 4 months old and a bundle of joy. He loves to smile and laugh - and - importantly - sleep all night. :)
On the flip side . . .
We got MOLD in our house - and got it remediated. It sucked. If you’re worried you have mold in your house PLEASE, PLEASSEE get rid of it. We were sick (cold-like symptoms) for months.
Mold is AWFUL. I took Takesumi Supreme for weeks to cleanse my system of it.
Let’s see - what else . . .
Oh! We have two runner ducks. They’re hilarious little pets.
They waddle around the yard all day in search of snacks (worms, grass, bugs) - and occasionally we get an egg. The eggs are pretty tasty.
What else. hmmm.
Techwise, I swapped out my Steam Deck for a Logitech G Cloud. Despite being basically just a device to use Xbox Game Cloud / Amazon Luna it’s much lighter and has a longgg battery life.
Yes the One X Player X1 Pro is sick but I don’t need all that haha.
I got a Camp Snap camera for Christmas! It’s a great hit of nostalgia to use a camera without a screen. At some point, I’ll pick up a Kodak charmera too.
I’m still rockin’ a Google Pixel 6 Pro, but I won’t lie - the Clicks Communicator is really, really cool - I’m looking forward to watching reviews!
Appwise - the only “newish” app I’ve been obsessed with is Voicenotes. It’s extremely useful for journaling, making lists, and saving important information. It’s very easy to use - and works across app, web, and desktop. It’s awesome!
Musicwise, I’ve finally escaped phonk and synthwave, and have circled back to some REAL RETRO TUNES - nightcore and hardstyle. Here’s an example track.
Well, let’s dive into what The Land of Random will look like going forward.
Instead of 3 main topics, I’ll be switching to 1 main topic. I’ll be honest - I “forced” full topics out of 1-2 sentence links quite a bit.
Email structure will be as follows - introduction, main topic, and “The Land of Random” links.
Emails may be shorter than before. I don’t have 10 hours to devote to this a week like I used to.
Like always - emails will come on Mondays
Next week is the official “first week” - so stay tuned! I have a good amount of links from the last 16 months so don’t you worry.
BACK TO THE LINK MINES - HOURS OF SORTING GOLD FROM THE ASHES OF THE INTERNET.
Here’s one link for you while you wait.
Heyy welcome back! Congratulations on the baby!
Glad you're back! I got a Camp Snap too!! Haven't used it yet, but I remember the Polaroid days so I'm looking forward to trying it out.
I used to LOVE flapping those Polaroid pictures around until they fully developed. Plus for some reason I always looked better using that film lolol. So I'm looking forward to not looking like a ghoul in every pic. (I guess I was younger which explains some of the looking better part lol)
