The first time I ran a “fake” order on a live store, I did it the lazy way. I used my real card, refunded it later, and told myself it was harmless. Then the order confirmation email went to a real customer list segment, inventory dropped, and my accountant asked why revenue spiked for five…
I bought the creepy doll in February, the first of the creepy dolls, which felt wrong in its own way. Winter makes everything quiet, and quiet makes small sounds feel huge. I told myself I needed them for photos, a spooky set for later posts, and my Halloween concept. That’s what I said out loud,…
I started blogging for the same reason a lot of people do, I had ideas I didnt want to lose. Some were half-baked lessons from projects, others were notes I kept repeating to friends. At some point, I realized social posts werent the right home for any of it. They moved too fast, and I…
I used to think “good coffee” was mostly about buying high-quality Single-origin Coffee beans. Then I started making tiny, boring changes to my home brewing: weighing my dose, grinding a little finer, and using hotter water.

The first houseplant I kept alive was a pothos on a rental windowsill. I bought it because the room felt flat, like it needed one living thing.

The good news is Philadelphia security deposit rules follow clear limits and deadlines, and in 2026 there’s a newer city rule that can make move-in costs easier to handle. This guide breaks…
With SSH access, the cursor blinks like a streetlight at 2 a.m. I’ve done plenty of WordPress moves, HTTP to HTTPS swaps, and update URLs, but WP-CLI command wp search-replace still makes me slow down. Because here’s the truth: most of the time, search and replace is easy. The scary part is when WordPress has…
