The Jetsetter: Custom Retro Gaming PC
I set out to build a practical Windows gaming machine for Microsoft Flight Simulator and a library of retro DOS classics. What Hobbs at H-Mods delivered instead was a fully fabricated, RGB-lit piece of functional art — a custom PC so visually ridiculous I keep pausing games just to stare at the case. From accessibility realities and hardware anxiety to wall-mounted retro gaming and resurrected music software, this is the story behind the Jetsetter build and why modern horsepower is mostly being used to run 1993 shooters.
What the Hell Is Going On With Manifest?
After falling deep into the final season of Manifest on Netflix, I’m left trying to process whether I’m watching science fiction, theological allegory, or a full-blown existential fever dream. What starts as a grounded mystery about a missing plane quickly spirals into visions, prophecy, and cosmic judgment — landing somewhere between Stranger Things and Stephen King’s The Langoliers. Intriguing, frustrating, and impossible to stop watching, this show has officially broken my brain.
Digital Dust
While building the Nine Inch Nails deep dive, I pulled out one of the first CDs I ever ripped into MP3 — sometime around 2000. What I didn’t expect was hearing the digital equivalent of vinyl wear. Not damage… but texture. It raised a strange question: when does outdated audio quality stop being a flaw and start becoming nostalgia?
Silent Vice — When the Algorithm Actually Gets It Right
A late-night algorithm stumble led to the discovery of Silent Vice and their crushing track “Temptress.” What started as a random TikTok clip turned into a full catalog deep dive — and the realization that this San Diego band has been building something heavy, atmospheric, and fully realized since 2010.
Hollar Into The Void
The Holy Knives
A gritty blend of blues, post-punk, and gothic soul — The Holy Knives deliver two releases that hit hard, haunt deep, and somehow make housecleaning an emotional experience. This is alt-blues for the modern age, and it’s absolutely worth the spin.
Basement Alchemy
Two albums, ten years apart — yet completely intertwined. Heads and Tails from Basement Alchemy are a masterclass in cinematic indie rock evolution, and I didn’t even know what I was ordering when I bought them.

Signal Drift: Current Broadcast
Signal Drift is an original fiction series unfolding one chapter at a time—right here on the blog. Set in a near-future collapse where communication is survival, the story follows a former radio engineer navigating broken networks, old alliances, and strange new signals. Each post is a chapter, and the series is updated regularly. Want to dig deeper into the cast? Meet the characters right here.
Signal Drift: Chapter 15
The town square outside the Viroqua Public Library buzzes with life for the first time since the collapse. As neighbors gather for a community meeting, the stakes become clear: rebuild, reconnect, or fade away. With Joy Luebke leading the charge and Cronauer revealing the return of a long-silent radio signal, the path forward starts to take shape — cautiously, but with purpose.
Signal Drift: Chapter 14
A stranger rolls up with diesel smoke and warnings, carrying news that might just change everything: a meeting, a familiar name, and whispers of movement on the Mississippi. For Cronauer and the crew, it’s the first step toward whatever comes next — and maybe the last chance to build something before it’s all too far gone.
Signal Drift: Chapter 13
Cronauer didn’t remember falling asleep — again. First the dream, now this. Outside, the signal was warming up, and inside the shack, so was the fight.
Signal Drift: Chapter 12
In the stillness of night, Cronauer is visited by a vivid dream — a rush of memory wrapped in warmth, music, and a quiet goodbye. As the past fades, he’s left with a reminder, a call sign, and a feeling he can’t shake.
