Back in August of 2014, the new Thunderbolt 3 port looked like a shorter version of the old one, and sticking with that port almost certainly would have doomed the interface to continued obscurity. It's still got a long way to go before it's as ubiquitous as USB, but now that it's tied to a port that the entire industry is moving toward anyway, it should become much more common than it was before. When Intel finally starts building Thunderbolt into its chipsets rather than requiring an additional controller chip, that should seal the deal and make Thunderbolt a mainstream port.

When I started this blog, I initially intended to just talk about random stuff I like. Back in the earliest days, posts ranged from the excitement of the Final Fantasy VII Remake to posts about meditating.

Eventually, it grew into something more direct when I got back into my miniature painting hobby. Then I found a few gaps I figured I could try to help fill with the knowledge I had.

It’s been an odd journey as I never expected in my wildest dreams I would become a blogger. I thought, ‘who would want to read anything I have to say’. But I was surprised to find that I slowly started getting a small following for sharing the tools and tips I have benefited from in my journey to be a better painter. The first time I got over 100 views on a post stunned me. When the blog hit over 22,000 views on a post I was shocked!

And then

The bit that really surprised me was when I got a random message on Google Hangouts from a guy called Oliver asking me if I was the guy behind the FauxHammer blog! Oddly this was shortly after I just moved into my new house and pulled out my hobby kit for the first time in 10 months. If it wasn’t for this renewed interest, I may have rudely ignored his message.

I have no idea how this guy got in touch with me! #Stalker. But I assume I left my email laying round on a blog post somewhere. I was so impressed that someone went so far
