NewSaint

Years ago now, I started a small Telegram micro-blog called Overall Enthusiasm. I basically used it as a place to share memes, random thoughts, and pictures of the projects I was working on at the time. I abandoned it a while back and spun up this website for longer content and for my Element Spotting series that I enjoy so much.

Telegram is an instant messaging application with a good amount of social media features. If you’re familiar or want to check it out, my page is located here: t.me/newsaint.

I plan to post there more-regularly than I do here, but the content won’t be nearly as collected. Thanks for reading and Element Spotting (6) is coming soon!

About Me

“I don’t really read or write too good, it’s a hassle.” – Seth Powers

My (abbreviated) name is HBM. I’m a Computer Technician by trade (but not a webdev as you may have guessed) and in my freetime I enjoy reading, writing, editing, creating, tinkering, and a few other -ings I’m sure.

About NewSaint

NewSaint is a collection of essays, lists, thoughts, and other writings created in May of 2023: part personal portfolio, part information repository. Plus it looks nice on a business card.

The name NewSaint was chosen for a few reasons:

1. Because it sounds cool
2. Because I’m a Cosmotheist and my purpose is to help bring about a higher kind of man; A New People, with New Saints
3. Because it was available and affordable

Interests

I thoroughly enjoy reading, especially audiobooks and whatever EPUBs I can find (or make) to stuff in my eReader. My interest books has inspired me to digitize and archive various weird, rare, or obscure books for my ever-growing digital (and partly physical) library. I use the LibreOffice suite and Sigil to create EPUBs for my library and for whoever wants them. You can read more about the many different software solutions I use on the Useful Links page.

If you’re curious about what kinds of books I spend my time reading, editing, or otherwise preserving. Check out my Recommended Reading page (article coming soon).

Beyond reading, books, and other literary adventures, I like movies, music, cooking, learning (even more) about computers, and spending time with my friends and co-workers.

One More Thing…

It’s customary, when posting things on the Internet to beg for money. I won’t beg, but if you feel inclined, I suppose you could buy me a coffee.

Thank you for reading.
