Every weekend I write a post titled “Science Saturday” in which I compile the most interesting science news from the week. Often, the majority of this news comes from the fields of astronomy and space exploration. There are 2 reasons for this; one being that I really like space, and the other being that we’re …
Welcome back to the Cluttered Desk! After taking a few weeks off from the blog, I’ve returned to my usual post schedule. This rest has been much needed, but I feel refreshed and ready to take on 2019! Just because I’ve been away from the blog though, doesn’t mean I’ve been away from writing completely. …

This Friday’s post was supposed to be a technology discussion, but instead of writing it, I went camping. Here are some pictures from the trip. A fun time was had by all. But now It’s back to the usual grind. Until tomorrow, -Sal

It seems that I write this post every few months now, an excuse or explanation of why I haven’t been writing. This time, the difference is that there’s no apology attached, to myself or anyone else. I haven’t written in the past few months because I have truly been unable to. My life has seen …
I hate clickbait with a burning passion. Clickbait sites themselves are garbage, but its the titles of the “articles” that really get to me. They eliminate any sort of sensible decision making from a reader’s ability to choose what kind of media they want to consume, giving way to the mindless clicking that everyone seems …
So it turns out that I couldn’t really get anything done over the holidays, or since. Maybe this was foreseeable.

Pencils down, last scantron sheet handed in, and everything moved out of the dorm room (I have to move out every semester). It is officially the holiday break. With the hustle and bustle of finals out of the way, I’m hoping to fall back into a more regular writing pattern. That includes here on the …
