James runs this website, where he occasionally writes things.He's had this site for a while now, though he’s not entirely sure what to do with it. Lately, it’s been a place for silly things—mostly because he enjoys making himself laugh. According to him, writing something unbelievably stupid is the best way to do that. When he finds it especially funny, he shares it here.James has strong feelings about WordPress—specifically, that it’s terrible. He finds it frustrating that creating a good-looking site requires paying absurd amounts of money. While he’s content with this website, mostly because he could customize the background, the idea of paying an extra $100 a year just to change the font is ridiculous to him. As far as he’s concerned, the current font is awful, and the blog posts are too squished together. For now, though, it’ll do.
