kenny’s web log

There’s a person on the internet named Taylor. They write all sorts of blog posts on different topics that are interesting but the one that has stood out to me is a post titled “Make a /wish page!” Around mid-2024, I did just that. If you navigate over to the /wish page on this website, you won’t actually find anything. The reason for that is that I also decided to create a separate website (in a Linktree-styled format) at around the same time specifically to share with others some things that might be useful when they first get to know me....

My last post was on the benefits of bringing food containers wherever you go. I mentioned there that the container I typically used was a plastic IKEA 365+ one.

I’m obviously not one of those hardcore bloggers who publishes something new everyday with my latest thought-provoking ideas to share with the rest of the world. I’ll go through weeks or months without a new post there are several reasons why this happens....

I wasn’t always into podcasts. I started listening to them near the start of 2020 to get my daily news of what was happening with the COVID-19 pandemic. At the time, I used my smartphone like most other people. I would mindlessly scroll through social media and I wasn’t very considerate of how I was constantly being tracked and profiled.
