About Me
My (abbreviated) name is HBM. I'm a Computer Technician by trade (but not a webdev as you may have guessed) and in my free time I enjoy reading, writing, editing, creating, tinkering, and a few other -ings I'm sure. My interest in books has inspired me to digitize and archive various weird, rare, or obscure books for my ever-growing digital (and physical) library.
I use the Notepad++, 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 Software and Tools page.
If you're curious about what kinds of books I spend my time reading, editing, or otherwise preserving. Check out my recent book reviews.
Beyond reading, books, and other literary adventures, I like movies, music, cooking, learning (even more) about computers, working on my cars, and spending time with my wife, friends, and co-workers.
Evolution of NewSaint
NewSaint is a collection of projects created as part personal portfolio / part information repository. It mostly consists of essays, lists, thoughts, and other writings. Plus it looks nice on a business card.
The name NewSaint was chosen for a few reasons:
- Because it sounds cool
- Because I'm a Cosmotheist and my purpose is to help bring about a higher kind of man; a new people, with new saints
- Because it was available and affordable
Starting in 2022 as a Telegram micro-blog called Overall Enthusiasm (which was later rebranded to the current NewSaint Telegram Channel), NewSaint has grown and changed many times over the last few years.
Sometime in early 2023, I started NewSaint.org—a proper blog site—which I update on occasion. Most of the content there is focused on the car projects I work on and the odd rant or essay about topics that interest me. I will decommission that site too and probably combine it with this one slowly. RIP NewSaint.org.
More recently (Q2 2025), I've been posting some of the AI generated art that I've genned onto a free NeoCities site that I created some time ago, but hadn't found a use for until I thought to start a small "art gallery" of sorts.
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.
