Lists
Last updated on December 27th, 2024.
This page is a collection of lists. A lot of them are sharing my favorite things like movies, TV shows, and video games. Others are more random like useful online tools, restaurants to try, or best kitchen gadgets.
It's mostly just a place for me to share what I'm into and links to cool stuff that other people might find interesting.
