After building myself a backdrop for my videos out of PVC pipe and a bedsheet, I took to Twitch Friday night with my yellowed copy of “The Time Machine” by H.G. Wells in hand.

Check out this Podcast!
I don’t know if many people listen to podcasts as often as I do, but I stumbled upon one last night that I realized I had to talk about. Growing up with Star Trek: The Next Generation on at home all the time, I grew attached to LeVar Burton’s voice. When I discovered Reading Rainbow…
Quick Thoughts: Twitch Streaming
I made my first attempt at streaming on Twitch back on Sunday afternoon. It was something I had considered for a long time, because, frankly, Twitch is built around streaming, so its streaming tools are far more sophisticated than Facebook’s. My stream was a “Nate Reads the Classics,” wherein I started The Time Machine byContinue reading “Quick Thoughts: Twitch Streaming”
What was your Favorite Book you Read in School?

This Day in Literary History
It is no longer 2’s day, and the day after is already almost over, but I wanted to make a post about some things.

Happy 2’s Day!
This’ll be a short post, but here goes! Happy 2’s day! It’s February 2nd, 2022, which has to be the most 2’s in the date in my or all of our lifetimes. It’s also George Washington’s birthday. He would be… really old if he was still alive.
