reMarkable 2 eInk Note Taking Tablet

Scopique November 3, 2021

My reMarkable 2 eInk tablet arrived whole 2 days early! Let’s take a look! The packaging is pretty much standard for tech these days. A lot of nice slip-cover wrappers, boxes with pull tabs, and everything sitting a convenient and snug little…

Grab Bag for October 28, 2021

Scopique October 28, 2021

New World As if this wasn’t a surprise, I think I’m done with New World. There comes a time in all games when the tutorial-ness of the situation wears off and all that stretches before me is the actual game. I really…

Note Taking With Technology

Scopique October 12, 2021

I’m one of those weird people who really like stationary: pens, pencils, notebooks, binders, the whole nine yards. When I was younger I used to do a lot of writing and because it was well before modern computing that meant I had…

Hey, HOSAS – Hands On Stick and Stick for Space Sims

Scopique January 31, 2021

I’ve been meting this out on Twitter, but I am at a point now where this subject deserves it’s own post. Last week — on my birthday, no less — my trusty Saitek/Logitech X-52Pro died. I had just reinstalled Elite Dangerous, as…

Surface Tension – The Search For A New Desk

Scopique January 4, 2021

Everything is cyclical, especially for me, and this time around I’m back to thinking about desks. I wanted to reference a previous post I made about building my own computer desk, but I honestly cannot find that post. I have a post…

Grab bag for…What day is it?

Scopique December 9, 2020

I don’t know why I ended up here. I had opened several browser windows and apparently this was one of them. Using my sensitive dowsing powers, I was drawn here for…some reason. I don’t think I have much to say, and only…

Wanting Everything I am Paying For – Xbox Series and Game Pass Ultimate

Scopique November 8, 2020

I hate to open this way, but I feel that I must establish a baseline by reiterating that I am “not a console person”. I say I am reticent to state this because I am tired of the constant “us versus them”…

Opera GX

Scopique July 15, 2020

Browser Wars, amirite? At some point in my Internet career (both as a civilian and as someone fighting from the trenches in web application development) I have used or at least tried most of them. For the longest time I, like many,…

Swinging a Deadcat

Scopique May 25, 2020

In my bid to become the best-equipped non-streamer, I finally got a mic for my GH7. With the camera mounted on my rather springy webcam mounting arm and connected to the PC via the Elgato HD60S, I am able to stream at…

Quick Takes – Microsoft PowerToys

Scopique May 15, 2020

I’m following up my previous post by a matter of seconds because I feel that this is a PSA that some people might need. As a blogger, one of the most time-consuming tasks I engage in can be image management. I usually…
