reading
Books are boring. That’s the mindset I’ve had for about the past 6 years of my life. I still remember the last time I read a book that wasn’t for English class. It was a Diary of a Wimpy Kid book, Big Shot to be exact. That book series (and maybe Dog Man) was realistically…

alex-cao.com is now live!
After a few chats with Gemini, I finally have the website up and working. I originally bought the domain on July 27 from Cloudflare for a price of about $10 USD. Not bad.

WE start blogs rn!!!
It’s the year 2026, why would I start a blog now, out of all times? When was the last time I even used the word ‘blog’? I certainly don’t remember. To be frank, trying to figure out how to use WordPress was quite a frustrating process. It might not even be worth the effort to…
