My New Gaming Computer
I finally decided to bite the bullet and get a gaming computer. I mainly just play fortnite so didn’t want to break the bank on this. But I saw this computer on sale for Prime Day so I got it while the getting was good. Skytech Blaze 3.0 which has I5, 16GB RAM, 512 MVMe SSD, Nvidia RTX 3060. The link shows about $999 at the time I posted this but I paid about $849. Not bad. So far this computer has been pretty great for playing Fortnite. It even tested pretty well on userbenchmark.com.

Learning JavaScript Callback Functions
I had a bit of a break-through lately. Yesterday, I was going through the latter portion of Lesson 3 in Section 4 (the Exoplanet-Explorer section in the Udacity Front-End Web Developer course). I realized that if I didn’t truly understand callback functions then I would struggle going forward. I thought I knew them but it turns out I really didn’t (in fact this is probably true of many things so I’m not taking anything for granted now — when in doubt, reread the definition of the term and try to gain a better understanding of it).
