PC Building

Computer

With some of my savings from my first co-op, I was able to build my first PC. Putting it together helped me learn about how the various components interact, as well as what the different pieces do. I'm happy to be able to use a computer that is uniquely my own.

Running Linux

Around two month ago, I decided that, to better decide what technologies to use, I was going to try out many options. Each month, I've tried a new browser and search engine across my devices. At the beginning of this, I switched my laptop to Arch Linux, and have thoroughly enjoyed the experience. I generally love messing around with configurations, so this project has been quite fun.

Hiking

Trail with bridge

I enjoy hiking in the various places I've been. When I was still a scout, I went on a 12 day backpacking trip in New Mexico, and while I've only done day hikes since then, I still enjoy getting out and enjoying nature.

Keyboard Building

Keyboard

I built a mechanical keyboard from parts. This allowed me some customization options, from the feel of the individual switches to replacing the Windows key with Tux (the Linux mascot).
