I don't know if that's going to change. This blog used to be where I wrote things that I wanted to talk about. Over time, that moved to Twitter as my musings turned more short form. As a result, I'm quite active there, and I've had no motivation to keep this blog up to date. At all.
That makes it quite unfortunate that I chose to make my blog the main feature of my home page. When I was putting this version of the website together, I had grand plans to start getting creative again in music, keep writing on subject I enjoyed, and maybe even build a small community around the website. None of that happened.
What has happened? My interests have changed dramatically. Instead of being creative in the music space, I'm creative with my streams to Twitch. Instead of writing about what's going on, I've increased activity on Twitter and Discord.
But one interest that hasn't changed is coding. I've done so much over the past 2 1/2 years with various coding projects that 2005 me would be super jealous of how much I've been able to accomplish, and that kinda feels good. I have a lot to write about on this subject, and hopefully will find the time to do so over the coming weeks, but the project that I'm currently working on is a complete rewrite on roncli.com. While the content will largely remain the same, the amount of real estate I give on the front page to this blog is going to be reduced dramatically. The truth is the content of this blog isn't all that great, and I don't really want to give a ton of space to something that I don't update often. I certainly will keep it around for archival purposes - mostly to remind myself of how unfiltered I was in my younger days - and make an attempt to make it a bit easier to browse.
Here's to hoping that this post won't burn another image into the site's front page for the next couple years.
This is my blog where I give my thoughts and opinions on various topics and share my creative endeavors with the world. I run two personal blogs, but combine them here for ease of access.
Blogger - My oldest blog using the Blogger platform contains posts full of opinions, gaming, and code.
Tumblr - Tumblr posts are all about my creative side, containing music, videos, writings, and updates on my web creations.

In California, truck license plates are 7 characters, all numbers except for one letter in either the second or the sixth position. Whenever that letter is an X, I get nerd snipped into treating it as a multiplication problem and solving it in my head.
we should have paid more attention to the cats who, for decades, put their bodies on the line to walk on keyboards and sit on laptops and prevent us from programming
Former 2 time world champion DogPlayingTetris becomes the first player to ever rollover the level counter in NES Tetris, performing what's known in the community as "Rebirth". Final score: 29,486,164, 4216 lines, level 347 (256 + 91)... all huge world records. #tetris
I'd also love a 6 hour layover overnight instead of taking the red eye I was going to take and be 7 hours later getting into Cleveland than I wanted, why do you ask? #airporthell
Why yes, I'd love to leave at 4:40 to get to the airport at 6:20 for an 8:20 flight that got delayed to 9:05 which is too late for my connection so now I'm on a 10:20 flight instead. Why do you ask? #airporthell
@shanselman Who at Microsoft do I have to bribe to fix ADO so that those of us on dark mode who copy/paste text from one task to another can do so without our friends on light mode seeing dark text on a dark background?
I updated the blog post with a statement from Revival. While I'm not particularly happy with Revival's decision, I understand their motives. It's just a shame that it was someone from Interplay that had to go and do this. "By games for gamers" my ass.
Damn, got another Tetris world record! This time in the arcade variant developed by Atari. 6,008,005 points, 5,386 lines, round 363. Be warned, it's nearly FIVE HOURS. https://www.twitch.tv/videos/2131759212
