Formed in 2009, the Archive Team (not to be confused with the archive.org Archive-It Team) is a rogue archivist collective dedicated to saving copies of rapidly dying or deleted websites for the sake of history and digital heritage. The group is 100% composed of volunteers and interested parties, and has expanded into a large amount of related projects for saving online and digital history.
But it's okay! Yesterday I did a little re-evaluation of my Blaugust progress and decided I wouldn't be writing 'catch-up' posts. I realized that by trying to write posts everyday, I was shifting my attention away from finishing longer posts I have in my drafts, going against one of my Blaugust goals. I had thought … Continue reading It’s Day 14 of Blaugust and I haven’t Posted in 3 Days
90’s Stuff I’ve Been Checking Out
In case you missed it, I've been doing a Nintendo 64 podcast with my partner, Gooey Fame, called Flashback 64. We're going through the Nintendo 64 catalogue in North American release order and inviting a couple guests each episode to chat. But we're not just talking about the games, we're also flashing back to the … Continue reading 90’s Stuff I’ve Been Checking Out

One FlygonHG video for each Region
If you're interested in Nuzlockes, or just a fan of pokemon in general, I highly recommend checking out YouTuber 'FlygonHG', who does very well crafted 'hardcore nuzlockes' with additional restrictions, like 'grass type only'.

A Day at the Farmer’s Market
I had been wanting to go to a farmer's market for awhile, and we finally got around to it today! There were a few options, but we decided to go to the Farmers Market+ at the the Dole in Crystal Lake.

Blaugust is the Month for Peaches
I'm a day behind on Blaugust, so this is gonna be a quick post, but I just wanted to show off these delicious peach muffins. Peaches are tied with strawberries for my favorite fruit. They can both be hit-or-miss at the grocery store, so they're definitely best to get when in-season locally, especially if you … Continue reading Blaugust is the Month for Peaches

The Bread Chronicles: French Bread
No this is not a 2020 retrospective. But I've recently felt a desire to start baking homemade bread. I've always love baking, but that's mostly been about baking sweet things. Of course, bread can be sweet - part of my interest in baking bread comes from snacking on a loaf of brioche bread recently and … Continue reading The Bread Chronicles: French Bread
My Chocolate Bucket List
If you know me, you know chocolate is one of my main obsessions. I actually started a chocolate blog, wrote one post, and then realized I didn't have time to maintain 2 blogs, a YouTube channel, and all the social media that comes along with it. So I've incorporated a bit of my love for … Continue reading My Chocolate Bucket List
My Blaugust 2023 Goals
Welcome to day 1 of Blaugust! This is my first time participating in Blaugust, in hopes of getting back into blogging regularly (hopefully this doesn't backfire and give me burn out). By sticking to mostly shorter posts, and finishing up some posts I intended to publish ages ago, I'm optimistic that I can stick to … Continue reading My Blaugust 2023 Goals
