The Eclectic

Listen, friends... it took quite a few years to land on my two hobbies. So in that time, I learned tons of tips, tricks, and techniques on wide variety of things – home improvement/repairs, cooking, sushi, bonsai... And I'll still touch back on what I learned every now and then, sometimes just for giggles.

Why do I say, "Kia ora"?

"Kia ora" is a Māori greeting. It is used to say "hello", "cheers", or "thank you". It can also mean "be well" or "stay healthy", because this is one of those logical gaps between languages. To say "kia ora" is almost like wishing the very essence of beautiful life on someone.

(Disclaimer: I am not of Māori descent, nor am I from anywhere even near in proximity to New Zealand... I just find this concept so amazing.)

KIA ORA, friends!

I applaud you for venturing to this corner of my site. Think of this as a sinkhole for all the diverse topics that pique my interest and inspire me to blog... when they don't relate to beer or tech. I genuinely hope you find value in exploring this eclectic space!

Just, please be aware — there is no rhyme or reason for the things which land here.
