Battling Bit Rot, Link Rot, and Chaos: Hacking an 18 Year Old TiVo Hard Drive
This past summer in-between semesters at school I set out to work on a project I’ve wanted to work on for a while. Some time ago I extracted the hard drive from my childhood TiVo before sending the actual unit off to an e-waste facility during a round of spring cleaning. My thought at the time was that hard drives take up way less space than an aging TiVo unit, and one day I may want to get the data off the drive. So with the free time of a summer break, I set out to work on this project. How...

Simplifying Gatsby Unit Testing using a Jest Preset
Recently I have been expanding the codebase for me website and blog in order to have a more robust web presence. Part of this of course includes unit testing the source code using Jest. This code base’s test suite is primarilly composed of Jest Snapshot Tests to ensure components and the pages they build are behaving and rendering as expected. Like any codebase, creating robust unit tests like this has many advantages; the primary ones for this code base being automated dependency updates usi...

Archive From Youth Voices — Surveillance and Anonymity
I was incredibly fortunate to have taken an AP English class during my senior year of high school. In this class, we analyzed and discussed a variety of books ranging from Robert Reich’s Aftershock: The Next Economy and America’s Future to George Orwell’s 1984. But more than the rich curriculum of literature we studied I’m thankful for the writing we did in the later part of the course. The teacher who taught the course was taking part in an experimental program, in collaboration with English...
