A decent explanation on why gene-mapping results vary
Hopefully you may remember the story about my two different DNA results back in 2016. The outcomes between the two companies “disagreed” so much I could be two people in my opinion. I doubt I could get my brother to … Continue reading
Progress made for 2018 on my health
It’s been a few good days. As per a past discussion with my doctor, the plan has been to “get ahead of it.” Don’t wallow in pain! Let’s adjust, re-calibrate and then push forward! I’m also grateful he didn’t fire … Continue reading
The Orville, it’s Star Trek with lame, pointless jokes
Everyone knows Seth MacFarlane is a huge Star Trek fan because he got the opportunity to play a minor engineering crew member on Enterprise over a decade ago. However, I guess the Paramount people weren’t interested in letting him lend his clout to … Continue reading
Pathfinder turns 10
After eight years, Wizards of the Coast (WOTC) decided to release D&D’s Fourth Edition (4e); probably on orders from Hasbro. There were hopes 4e would correct some of the issues Third Edition/3.5 (3e/3.5e) were having, namely grappling, campaign-busting spells and … Continue reading
Twenty-four years in Austin
It’s great and weird feeling to be spending what has so far been the second half of my life in the same place after the years I was under my parents’ roof. The equally funny thing is they slowed down … Continue reading
The Florida Project: Acquired Taste
Quick warning. If you don’t like movies that lack a story arc, conflict and/or resolution, skip The Florida Project, its execution is along the lines of the day(s)-in-the-life of a child and her friends amusing themselves on the slummy drag heading … Continue reading
Black History Month is the theme/look
After a dozen years, I’ve remembered to honor Black History Month. I forgot how cool the colors attached to the celebration were. In America, Black citizens have contributed a lot to my country’s success and the story about the US. … Continue reading
Miguel sighting for January 2018
As always, I recognized his swagger in the dark. Miguel was looking decent and he came up to me upon being called. He wouldn’t hop in the car so I carefully scooped him in, he’s still semi-feral which means he … Continue reading
The new, 2018 recovery plan has been initiated
I want to first give a big thank you to Somara for her participation today in helping adjust the battle plan for feeling better, functional. The major element is that we have a shared goal which we both wanted to … Continue reading
Been away because I’m not feeling well
Fear not. I’m seeing my doctor and it hasn’t been as awful as other flare ups. The really good thing is how I’ve done a better job coordinating the efforts to get in front of my ongoing illness sooner/faster. Somara … Continue reading
Breaking Bad turns 10 today
I didn’t get around to watching Breaking Bad in its entirety until I think 2015, maybe 2016. It’s a hard show to stop viewing because the writers excelled at making you want to know what’s going to happen next with … Continue reading
Cold/Flu number two for 2018 achieved
Two thousand and eighteen AD (CE is stupid) is off to be icky start. Just as I overcame one cold (or flu, I can’t tell), I relapse into some serious congestion courtesy of Somara. I don’t recall infecting each other … Continue reading

My incredible D&D furniture from Cosmo Joe’s 6d6
Today’s plug for Gamer’s Weekend is this awesome D&D furniture I backed via Kickstarter last year. Cosmo Joe covered the essentials for when your players go dungeon crawling: taverns, offices and bedrooms! My initial investment got me the standard set … Continue reading
The future of food, part two: Soylent
This “food substitute” has gotten the most attention…in the circles (or bubble if you believe such nonsense) of news I follow, mainly stuff influenced by the Economist, The Nation and scientifically-slanted podcasts. Soylent was also written about by the token tech … Continue reading
Snowpocalypse II of 2018 continued
Well, I got more than my prediction (not a wish, I have stuff to do plus I do like seeing my co-workers)…they closed my work site in its entirety for the first time in a decade, according to my memory. … Continue reading
