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 […]

The War of Art

From Joe Rogan to me, then to you. Steven Pressfield – 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. https://www.goodreads.com/series/147091-the-pillars-of-reality

All the Gifts Bestowed

One of a few single book Sci-Fi books I’ve enjoyed in recent memory. It has an apt, eerie depiction of the current state of computing. https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/46146065-all-gifts-bestowed

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. https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/11706669-the-first-law-trilogy?from_search=true

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. https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/11870085-the-fault-in-our-stars

Arisen Series by Michael Stephen Fuchs and Glynn James

Not stop action from book 1 to 14! One of the most epic and engaging zombie series I’ve read so far. https://www.goodreads.com/series/84669-arisen

Themis Files : Sleeping Giants

A story within stories; a dialog/interview style driven narrative. https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/25733990-sleeping-giants?from_search=true

Vatta’s War

Second time reading this, one of my favorite space opera’s from one of my favorite authors. https://www.goodreads.com/series/41099-vatta-s-war

Legends of the First Empire 1-3 of 6

https://www.goodreads.com/series/135626-the-legends-of-the-first-empire A prequel (of sorts) to one of my all time favorite series: The Riyria Revelations by Michael J Sullivan. There’s no direct relation to the former series, it gives more context and back story to the Riyria Revelations story. Still waiting for the 3 remaining, but the first 3 books has a satisfying conclusion […]

Hell Divers 3 : Deliverance

Satisfying conclusion to the trilogy even though there are still several books after the initial story. https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/35480139-deliverance

Hell Divers 2 : Ghosts

A lull in the action from the first book, but sets up the story for the third book. https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/31434700-ghosts

Artemis

The conclusion of the book left me hanging a bit, otherwise it was a good read. Not as good as The Martian though. https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/34928122-artemis

Salsa Cutthroat 2019 review

TLDR: It is basically a mountain bike with drop bars… and it’s awesome! I recently got myself the Salsa Cutthroat 2019 with the Apex build kit. I would’ve wanted to opt for the Force 1 build kit but they didn’t offer the frameset in black, so I had to swap out some parts: Replaced Apex […]

Training smarter

I train primarily to release my aggression, angst and negative energies I’ve accumulated over the years. It’s a fair endeavor where I get what I put in, where I have control and can affect positive changes over course and outcome. i’ve been training hard and consistent for the past 15yrs not because i want to […]
