Micro Dispatch 📡

Like an abandoned outpost broadcasting out in the blogging wasteland, sending out dispatches one blog post at a time.

I am in love with the sound of that V8 in this Lexus IS 500. Now that folks, is how you do an exhaust video.

Getting Click Five vibes from this song. Coming from a band I've never heard of before, all the way from Indonesia. This is an awesome new find. Long live pop punk!

I haven't built a new gaming PC in a long time, but with the coming EOL date for Windows 10, I find myself trying to get up to the date on the latest when it comes to building PCs. An interesting topic I ran into, is how to setup airflow on a PC Case. Specifically, having too many fans at the top of the case, can actually be harmful to your CPU in the long run. The reason seems to be fairly simple, but only when you can visualize the airflow, as the presenter does in the following video.

So in a nutshell, too many top case fans can pull the air out of the PC case, before that air is even allowed to pass through CPU and motherboard.

I'm a big fan of Mazda and I agree with most of what Kirk says in the video. Mazda dropped the ball on this one. I don't know which customers they surveyed for this redesign, but apparently they didn't survey the ones who drive their cars. Because if they did, then they would know, that it would be stupid to remove the physical climate controls, the volume knob and the commander knob. Those are some of the features that I actually really love on their cars. And I loved how they were fighting against making everything touch screen in their cars. Well they caved in it seems. And I'm highly disappointed.

I understand that a good number of people didn't like being forced to use the commander knob all the time. In my opinion, there was an easy solution to that issue; simply enable touch screen on their infotainment screen. Let the people who don't want to use the commander knob, touch the screen to do what they want. Instead, they took the route of removing all these useful physical buttons and moved them into this huge laptop sized screen. Well guess what, without the commander knob, it is so much harder to use the infotainment screen without taking your eyes off the road. For a brand that prioritizes the driving experience, this is an idiotic decision.

Coming from a rock band from Malaysia, this is the best song I've listened to today!

We could live away from the city If that's what you wish for I'd cut my hair and change how I smile If that's what you wanted

I gave my all for you But you never tried to look at me In my eyes, and tell me that you'll stay

On the very next day You will find a way to forget Everything about me, and all that we were Will be something we left in the past You parasite

This was as hilarious as it was educational.

I might be misinterpreting this, but I feel like there's a deep meaning to this song. You can't be sad, if you don't love. But you also can't love and not feel sadness. You're only sad, because you love someone, something. And so he's right when he says, “Love is all that you’ll ever need, to keep your sadness evergreen.”

There’s no truth that’s not worth lying for Heaven ain’t no place worth dying for Love is all that you’ll ever need To keep your sadness evergreen Bite your tongue so you don’t say you’re sorry All that God has ever fеlt this lonely Love is all that you’ll evеr need To keep your sadness evergreen, you know

Sidenote: Love how this band is keeping those emo flames alive.

Cool bike, but okay, I don't understand. A flat bar, gravel bike... is this not just a mountain bike with a rigid fork? It has flat bars and wide tires meant to go off-road. Granted this one is an e-bike. But is this not a just a mountain bike? Or a hybrid bike meant to go off-road, like the new gen Trek Dual Sport with the rigid fork? It's like new categories are being invented all for the sake of marketing something “new”.

You’re always getting me high then you’re pulling me low Then you beg me to stay, but you want me to go You’re always telling me “yes” but your answer is “no” If you want me to guess, I’m just a stranger you know If you call this winning why do I feel like a loser?

Yeah, an awesome song with great lyrics, but it's also what today feels like for me.

I'm finally moving on from my main blog and so I've decided to spruce up this one. I've added a comments system and fleshed out the About page some more.

The commenting system allows “Guest Comments”, which means it does not require a user to create an account, or login to an account, to leave comments. There is a field to add an email address, but that is optional and only used for notifications. I'm hoping this will encourage more readers to leave comments.

I still have to get a proper domain name for this blog. I'm not sure if I'm staying with the “Micro Dispatch” blog name, or if I'll be changing it to something else, or even if I'm going to simply use the subdomain provided by write.as. One thing for sure is that I don't want to use my personal/professional domain name for this blog. I've done that before and didn't like how it turned out for a personal blog like this one. So yeah, I need to decide on the final blog name before purchasing a domain name.


Update 1:

Also, need to come up with a blog description or subtitle. I always like that feature for write.as blogs and want to make use of it. Just need to come up with a description that is not so similar to the one I used on the main blog that I'm moving on from.
