  • Got a new controller for the media center this week! 8BitDo is really good quality, reasonably priced, and universal as all hell. Loving it!

  • I got a kitchen aid for Christmas 😍😍😍

  • Better Async Support in WordPress With PHPNomad + Action Scheduler

    What’s Changed A sore spot in WordPress is background tasks.
