I just got a brand new 32 inch LCD monitor… again. I didn’t expect having to get a new monitor, but the Pixio monitor (that I won from a sweepstakes) died suddenly after only 1.5 years of use. Since I’m used to having two big monitors now, I just went online to look for the least expensive 32 inch, 1440p (QHD) monitor with a recognizable brand. I ended up buying ViewSonic VS3225-2K, and here are my first impressions.
It’s March and technically it’s (or is) close to spring, so time again to summarize my adventures and shenanigans over the past season. My big trip during the winter was to China, but I also had a work trip and did a little bit of skiing. Here are the photo and video highlights, whimsical or not.
My big trip over the winter season was to China. I haven’t been back in China since 2018, so it has certainly been a while. The trip was mostly to see relatives and spend Chinese New Year there with family, but managed to do a few touristy things here and there. Here are the highlights of my trip.
It’s been 3 months since my last seasonal update post, so time again to post some highlights of what I’ve been up to. No big trips in the autumn this year. Just stayed local in the PNW, finished up the hiking season, and then had to sit out and recover from a surgery. Anyways, here are the photos and videos.
As we are getting past the Labor Day long weekend and into September, it’s time again to post about the all the shenanigans I’ve been up to for the past season. My adventures over summer of 2025 consisted of a work trip to New York City, and lots of hiking in the Pacific Northwest. Here are the highlights:
That time of the year again to celebrate (by myself) the anniversary of this little collection of websites! My websites have been online for 19 years. Now they are old enough to purchase alcohol in most US states. The only notable update this year is adding some background images to this blog by using Gen AI which is all the rage these days. Google Adsense basically pays nothing these days, even after I updated the ad script code. Many people have ad blockers, so online display ads are a bit outdated.
Anyways, onwards to Year 20!!!
It’s starting to feel like summer in the PNW, which means it’s about time for a highlights post of the adventures and shenanigans I’ve been up to in the past season. No big trips during spring, but as usual, I ended the ski season and started hiking and foraging for shellfish. Here are the photo and video highlights.
As the Spring equinox brings about meteorological spring next week, it’s time again for my post about what I’ve been up to this winter. In short, I celebrated the holidays, started a new job, and did some skiing. Here are the photo and video highlights.
I added some background images for the current theme for this website/blog. I’ve wanted to add background images since I switched to the current WordPress theme in 2016(!), but work and other hobbies have gotten in the way. I used to dabble in digital art (my gallery), but haven’t done much for the last few years because laziness and work. Now that I have some time on my hands, I decided to finally add the backgrounds.
