Way better than the movie. The subsequent books don’t appeal to me though.

Things and Topics I am passionate about
Project Hail Mary by Andy Weir
Overall a good read, like a crossover between The Martian and Artemis, though I’d rank this the least among the three.
Chaos Walking by Patrick Ness
Chaos Walking Series by Patrick Ness
The story could’ve been told in 1 book instead of 3 and felt dragging the longer I read the book. I personally didn’t like the pace of the story and how it ended but it wasn’t bad enough for me to stop reading.
The Daevabad Trilogy by S.A. Chakraborty
The Daevabad Trilogy by S.A. Chakraborty
The protagonists were way too naive and idealistic until the end for my taste. But the lore and and plots points kept me reading until the end.
Aluminum laptop stand
I saw this identical stand on one of Dave 2D’s videos which he got on Amazon. I found a similar one on Lazada for 16USD or 800PHP incluaive of tax and shipping, and it was Cash On Delivery as well.


It’s adjustable on either side and can fit thick devices and the alen screws tighten property without the need for locktite. It’s unbranded and heavy which makes it feel premium. The only gripe I had was with the paint finish. I would’ve wanted a brushed aluminum or powder coat finish. But it’s a minor issue you can fix by painting it yourself.
The War of Art
Pillars of Reality – Jack Campbell
Started interesting enough though got a bit dragged out past the 3rd book. A good read for those looking for a Young Adult light fantasy series. Hoping the series continues though.

All the Gifts Bestowed
One of a few single book Sci-FiĀ books I’ve enjoyed in recent memory. It has an apt, eerie depiction of the current state of computing.

The First Law Trilogy
A great series but with a few plot holes here and there. One of my favorites books to date, but some of the protagonists could’ve concluded better.

The Fault in Our Stars
A welcomed deviation from my usual Fantasy and Scifi fair. One of the very few romance books I actually enjoyed.
