2025-10-05-SUN-15:02-CST – CHECKING IN – Happy Sunday! I had a really great productive night last night with building my digital book collection. Tonight I plan on doing the same thing. So I am present, but I’m extremely busy. This may be the only update I make today. Have a great end to your weekend with what is left of it.

2025-10-04-SAT-15:12-CST – CHECKING IN – I’m back! I took a nearly 3 week much needed break from my website work. I managed to touch a few project here and there during that time, but mostly spent the time doom scrolling on my phone lol. I did make some new digital art as well during that time. Tonight I’m going to try and get back into trying to get some productive things done. My brain has settled on trying to use Anna’s Archive to replace one of my old hard cover books so I can get rid of it and gain some space, and I’m going to try and get some travel links collected out of some old Colorado travel guides I’ve been hoarding since 2020.

Thanks for using D98.co!

Below is a look at some other content that may interest you (under construction at the moment).

Lemmy:

Lemmy is an open-source, self-hostable link aggregation and discussion platform, similar to Reddit or Hacker News, but operating on a decentralized network called the Fediverse. Users can subscribe to “communities” (similar to subreddits) on different servers, or “instances,” and interact with users and communities across the entire network using the ActivityPub protocol. This decentralized model offers alternatives to centralized social media by promoting user control, data ownership, and community autonomy.

I recently discovered Lemmy, and although I haven’t signed up for an account there yet, I have been checking in on some of the discussions that seemed interesting enough to follow, or that may offer some useful resources. Below is a list of some of the topics I check in on from time to time.
