Hello web surfer,
This is a hobby website/ experiment of mine that I’m using to share my other hobbies and interests. I have been keen on the neocities style of websites for a while now and have never fully committed to creating one until now.
I’m using the static site generator/framework Hugo to create this site. Also, I’ve used Google’s Antigravity AI code editor to assist in creating some of the more ambitious features of this site.
Feel free to leave me a note about this website or any of the content I’ve chosen to share. Hope you enjoy.

Morning Star Incense - Frankincense
Japanese coreless incense. Very agreeable and warm scent. Great if you're looking to get into incense for the first time. Each box comes with a small ceramic stand to hold the incense and 200 sticks.
Reid Review
I have this incense in my current rotation. It's quick and convienient and my girlfriend always says my room smells really nice— even if it's been a day since I lit it. The reason I prefer coreless incense is because without the wooden core, you get a much purer scent without the smokey wooden smell.
Midori MD Notebook
Premium quality ruled line notebook, A5 size. What you would expect from classic Japanese stationary.
Reid Review
Basic and reliable Japanese notebook for all of your daily note taking and writing. Great paper, folds flat, and develops a good patina over time. I use mine for work notes, todo lists, ideas. Having a great notebook to take notes on is essential and I feel like this does a great job at keeping the focus on writing notes versus fighting the notebook to behave.
ZikeDrive Z666 SSD Enclosure
Enclosure for SSD storage. Read speed of 3.8GB/s and a write speed of 3.1GB/s— USB-C. (SSD not included)
Reid Review
My Laptop doesnt have huge internal storage (only 250GB) and for the longest time I was keeping all my large creative working files on a traditional HDD storage. With an SSD enclosure like this you can install SSD's like you would on a desktop computer, onto an external drive. Since going this route my work flow has sped up considerably. Coming up with a reliable solution to storage is key, and you should never cheap out on hard drives. There are other SSD enclosures that work just as well, but this is the one that I've been using and it's done its job pretty well for a year now so this is the one I recommend.
WD_BLACK 2TB SN770 SSD Storage
2TB of SSD storage. Made to install yourself into a desktop computer or external drive.
Reid Review
I pair this with the ZikeDrive SSD enclosure, also mentioned in my storefront. There are smaller storage options available, but I opt for the 2TB just because I like to have the headroom to keep a lot of large files ready without having to worry about updating my drives frequently. There are other brands available that serve a similar purpose, but I've been using this for a year now and it's been solid.
XTEink X4
Super small, super basic e-reader. Avoid the various amazon/ kobo online book stores and have a more liberating offline e-reader experience by uploading your own epub files.
Reid Review
Just ordered this... I'll let you know how I like it in a bit. But the main reason I ordered it is to replace my phone for when I mindlessly reach for mental stimulation...
Timbuk2 Authority Deluxe Backpack
Simple laptop back pack with a solid build quality and pockets for lot's of other items. Solid build quality and silhouette
Reid Review
I got this backpack in 2019 in my third year of college. I'm still well pleased with it. For a backpack it's mature and sophisticated, but it's also epic quality and has barely lost its form since I bought it. Keeps a nice firm shape and even when you're not carrying your laptop, the backpack stays structured. Way better looking than any herschell or jansport cheapy bag you could get. I reccomend this for any students or professionals who prefer backpacks over brief case style bags.
Yamaha HS5 Studio Monitor(s)
The Classic HS5 monitor set up. 2-Way bass-reflex bi-amplified nearfield studio monitor with 5 inch cone woofer and 1 inch dome tweeter
Reid Review
These speakers have been served my well since 2018. I can never go back to a lower quality speaker, especially for listening to music and producing. Basically everyone knows about the HS5 already, but they also get my stamp of approval.
Pocket Bellows
Extendable straw that focuses the air from your mouth to the center of the your campfire.
Reid Review
Super handy thing that I love. This is the OG product on amazon. Basically you extend the metal straw and you point it right in the middle of the fire and blow. Gets the fire really roaring. I think there are cheaper options on amazon, but this is the original product.
Silva Expedition 4-360 Compass
Classic baseplate compass with red lanyard.
Reid Review
This is what I think of when you say compass. I take this one with me on my camping trips and if you figure out how to actually use a compass, it can be a useful tool to navigate your map while paddling.
