Pasta found in the Netherlands that’s special!
As you can see from the label, whenever you buy this brand/package of pasta, you must give five ravioli to me. I prefer them to be cooked and covered with an Alfredo sauce. A chicken-based broth is acceptable too. In … Continue reading
I finally bought or replaced the Apple TV at my house
I grew tired of watching The Mandolorian on my portable and the Disney+ App hasn’t been created for Vizio-brand TVs. Given my profession, you need to watch the hit Star Wars-based show immediately because co-workers are bad at withholding spoilers! Hooking the device … Continue reading

Another hack whining about The Simpsons
Hard to believe a Christmas Special starring the characters from the interstitials on The Tracy Ullman show would lead to a 30-year run on network TV in America. Well, years later James L. Brooks and Matt Groening would reveal how the … Continue reading
Heinz stole Hoser’s idea!
One odd habit my best friend José had in college was dipping his fries in a mix of mayonnaise and catsup/ketchup (I don’t care which). He really liked it too. He’d fill up a salad bowl with this gross concoction! … Continue reading
Life is pretty good so far
Last night was my employer’s end of the year party. I had a pretty good time and took a plus-one guest since I didn’t want it to go to waste. This person was pretty cool, hope we get to hang … Continue reading
The UK is so screwed
Last night, the UK decided that they want to give another dictator a go, quickly forgetting the damage caused by St. Thatcher, the racist Churchill or the murderous Cromwell. Buffoon Johnson has such a bulletproof majority, for now, he’ll obviously … Continue reading
Jim Henson would’ve laughed at this

Sixty-five years of progress in miniaturization
That stack of 62,500 punchcards represents 4.5 MB of data circa 1955. I remember my dad doing his CS homework/projects on those things in the early Seventies! Today, my current iPhone Xs holds over 14,000 times that much information and … Continue reading
1869: Wyoming grants women the vote
The article from the History Channel gives a list of reasons but I go with the more realistic one purported by Adam Ruins Everything…women had the power to get it through the world’s oldest profession and I’m not talking about farming. … Continue reading
RIP Carrol Spinney
Another little piece of my childhood fades away yet I’m still happy because Carrol brought Brian and me joyous hours with his Oscar the Grouch and Big Bird work. Neither character would be the same without Carrol’s energies. Thanks to … Continue reading
RIP René Auberjonois
Sad to hear this great character actor passing away but he brought scores of great memories for his comedic and dramatic acting. On the comedic side, my generation mostly knew him for being the foil on Benson, the guy advising the … Continue reading
Ford v. Ferrai: Worth Seeing
Hard to believe they made an American movie about auto racing that didn’t stoop to NASSCARR “Dads.” Thusly, I was actually interested in seeing it because Le Mans was the contest, a very historic track in France which isn’t an … Continue reading
This is my equivalent of putting up a tree
I don’t have to worry about any cats trying to climb the tree. It’s portable. It’s easy to put away when the season is over (January 6). I’m also amazed at how the LEGO employee(s) forged the design from dozens … Continue reading
C’est ne pas un LEGO
The LEGO store gave this out to us VIPs as a gift after spending a certain amount, I can’t remember how much. This set which creates a model of the core 2 x 4 brick (it doesn’t work like one … Continue reading
1969: The Altamont Festival debacle
In an attempt to recapture the “magic” of Woodstock (an overrated event) but on the West Coast, the Rolling Stones ended their tour by having a festival with CSN&Y, Santana, Jefferson Airplane and Grateful Dead as openers. It wasn’t thought … Continue reading
