Originally, this site was created as supplemental practice of The Odin Project's curriculum, and while it still serves this purpose I have come to the conclusion that there is no reason that I cannot use it for sharing various information. As such, this site is a bit of a catch-all of anything I wanted to share over the internet.

As many of you may be familiar with, there's always that one go-to family member for basic tech support. For my family that person is me, and as such I plan to make blog-style posts for resolving issues that I can re-use if someone else has the same issue in the future. Having them online has a couple of benefits; it makes them available from anywhere, but it also makes them available for anyone to link their family members to. I hope that you find them useful, and informative.

However, as of current, the most common thing you will find on here are guides and bookmark collections for various games. Previously I had them shared on Discord servers for friends, but since I have qualms with the direction of Discord I thought I would also post them somewhere else so that they are still available in the event I stop using the software.

Thanks for visiting,
