Gettin' All Blogged Down

Tue May 23 2023

I finally did it. I added a blog to this site! So what else have I been up to since launching this site on April 26th? Let’s see…


Coding

I’ve been working on developing prototypes for some exciting projects over at The Hard Times. Nothing to announce yet but I did get to dust off my MongoDB knowledge from years ago. I started with Next.js + PostgreSQL but quickly realized MongoDB would be the better choice, as the data was quite unstructured. Fingers crossed that this project can see the light of day.

And as mentioned, I continue to get more familiar with Astro. Its implementation of Content Collections are pretty neat; I’m still surprised this works without any sort of backend server functionality. Very developer friendly.

Writing

Hard Drive ranked every single Nintendo 64 game released in North America, and I’m proud to have contributed ten entries to the list. Click here to see it, and keep your eyes open for these entries:

#271 Mortal Kombat Mythologies: Sub-Zero
#190 All-Star Baseball 99
#171 Aerofighters Assault
#156 Iggy's Reckin' Balls
#150 Turok: Dinosaur Hunter
#143 The World Is Not Enough
#94 Hexen
#35 Star Wars Episode One Racer
#27 Blast Corps
#23 1080 Snowboarding

Over on The Hard Times, I ranked the almighty Black Flag’s discography. I also had a few other pure comedy articles, with this one being a particular favorite.


Well, I’m going to attempt to update this blog approximately monthly. Let’s see how well I do!
