#oneaday Day 821: Tomorrow is holiday
We're off on holiday tomorrow! It may seem extravagant to have two going-away holidays in the same year (to the exact same place, no less), but as I've mentioned previously, our prior attempt earlier in the year was spoiled somewhat by worrying over a certain idiotic orange cat who had decided to explore the Great...
#oneaday Day 814: Death of a publication
I've finally finished my efforts to catalogue all the games-related articles (including roundups, re-reviews, type-in listings and issue disk bonuses) from Page 6/New Atari User. My data sheet has over 2,000 rows in it, though some of those are repeats. Even so, that's a lot of material to work with. As I found myself reviewing...
#oneaday Day 798: Home is where the heart has been, part 2
Yesterday, I left off with a lovely flat my then-wife and I lived in in a fairly shitty area; a place which I nonetheless have mixed feelings about due to how it was where I was living when I suffered a nervous breakdown and left teaching as a career behind as a result. Today, we...
#oneaday Day 797: Home is where the heart has been, part 1
I have, over the years, lived in a number of different places. This is, I'm sure, true for quite a few people -- though there does come a point where you seemingly pick somewhere and just settle down. Our current place definitely falls into that category -- though neither of us have completely ruled out...
#oneaday Day 754: Late '90s promise
As I absorb the news that Sony is giving up on physical releases of games -- something I have had a good rant about at much more length over on MoeGamer, so please go read that -- I can't help but think back to the time PlayStation hit the scene, and the incredible amount of...
#oneaday Day 749: The lost decade
At therapy today, we got talking about how I think back extremely fondly on my time at sixth form -- to such a degree that I would brand that period of time as probably the happiest of my life -- and how I feel a curious... "closeness" to that time period, despite it being, at...
From 2025 to 2026
Things I'm leaving behind in 2025. Things I've learned. Did I even accomplish anything? Yes, but it doesn't feel like it.
An Ode to Email
Internet friends are real. But moots and oomfies are not friendship at its fullest potential. Once again, it's the UX's fault.
2025.11 Journal
How I've been doing/feeling, November 2025.
Phases: Intro
Every song is a breadcrumb on the tangled path back to who I’ve been. In this series, I let shuffle decide which memories resurface, giving each musical phase its turn in the spotlight—and seeing what stories wake up with the sound. I lack the ability to actively recall memories, for the most part. I have...
Twenty Years After the Tsunami: A Personal Story about Memories and Remembrance
Some memories stay with us forever. We remember exactly where we were during major events like 9/11 or life-changing moments like having our first child. Twenty years ago, on Boxing Day 2004, I experienced one of those unforgettable moments. On December 26, 2004, a 9.1 magnitude earthquake struck off the coast of Sumatra, Indonesia, triggering...

A trip down memory lane and a list of cities, you also should visit one day.
