The official launch of EyeSpark v2.0, I guess!

Read Part 2 here! To finish off the tour of my cubeshelf, I will now be showcasing the eleven miscellaneous cubes that I have on the right side of my bottom shelf. These are all Non-WCA puzzles that I like to keep handy and often solve just for fun. Although

Read Part 1 here! To follow up the top shelf of my cube collection, today I will share some of the cubes on the bottom shelf! Originally I was going to write about all of the cubes in it, but that is 23 cubes and that's too much
Speedcubing
I ordered some new speedcubes about a week ago for the first time in a while, and they arrived on Monday, and this has motivated me to share part of my Rubik's Cube collection here! I have over a hundred cubes in total which is a lot, but

Today is the thirteenth anniversary of Battle for Dream Island Again 5b! It was part of the monumental BFDIA 5, which was such a large episode for its time that it had to be split up into five parts and took 8 months to finish. The second part was not
Educational
On September 2025 for an academic project I created a presentation about different types of colour modes, which are different ways that colours behave and are represented. Due to some unforseen circumstances, it never ended up being seen by anybody (I think). However, I was extremely proud of this presentation,

239 days ago, after working on it for a few days, I officially launched this blog with my first post. And today, almost 8 months later, I am publishing this, my 100th post. Often for milestones like this I have something interesting to share. For my 36th blog post, my
NimbleBit Games
One of the first games I downloaded once I got my 1st Generation iPad was Tiny Tower. It was one of the first mobile games I remember ever playing and most-definitely the one that I was the most fond of. My mom downloaded the game on July 21, 2012, meaning

I've mentioned before that in video games I have a bad habit of not finishing my projects, especially ones that I've thought about releasing publicly. I've talked about my unreleased Labyrinth 2 levels previously, but the game that is probably the worst for me
On my last post here, which was about Fruit Ninja Classic, I hinted that I would very soon be getting something that would allow me to play the actual original version of the game, amongst others. A few days ago (though a few days after I wrote about Fruit Ninja)
I've mentioned before that I've been messing around with the iPhone 5 on iOS 10 recently, and I've been playing some games that are no longer playable, or even older versions of games. The last available version of a game varies a lot, but
I was originally thinking about bringing this up in one of my more recent blog posts, but I decided that this warrants a post of its own. For about 12 days, between the post about my Sister's PS3 to Day 1 of SD Winter 2026, I did not
As I mentioned a few weeks ago, I recently brought over my sister's PlayStation 3 from my dad's house to mine, and so I have been using it more often (though not as much as I want to since the Bluetooth and Wi-Fi aren't
To kick off my hopeful decimation of my backlog this year ("decimating" actually meaning to remove one tenth of, of course), the first game I'm playing is Baba Is You, a game which I only got quite recently but has been on my Nintendo Switch wishlist
Read Part 1 here! Today was the second day of Santo Domingo Winter 2026, and it went way better than yesterday! First of all, I want to correct a mistake that I made on the Day 1 post. I said that today's only events would be 3x3 and
Today is the first day of the Santo Domingo Winter 2026 speedcubing competition! Also known as the day where Karl just can't make the cut (mostly). For this competition I'm competing in the same events as SD Otoño 2025, but the schedule this time is slightly
I've mentioned that I've been doing some tech archaeology a few days ago, and so I've been retrieving a lot of the tech I've had around me. Two weeks ago, a few days before I got the iPhone 5 working again, I
And Happy New Year!
I have recently been doing a bit of "archeology" around my home — as I like to call it — and I've been getting into exploring some of my old phones. For example, I have an iPhone 8 with a broken camera that used to belong to my
I have recently gotten an itch to play Magic: The Gathering again, but actually try to get more into it this time. I've sort of been around the zeitgeist of the game for over 4 years, but I have been very on-and-off about actually playing it. I'
