Happy 15th Birthday Hunter!
The nephew I’ve spent the most time celebrates his day right before he leaves the States to go back to his new home (as of last Fall) of Qatar. Hunter and his family were here for about a month too. … Continue reading
OH! MY! GLOB! Light a match would you! It’s burning my lumps
The new, well, the first, design on my comic-book store’s bathroom door. I myself have issued a few edicts from here.
KMAG (v. 3) turns 12
It’s late…as always, but I wanted to celebrate the milestone for my personal thing of tunes or the closest I’ll ever have to a radio station. QuickTime Streaming Server may have been put out to pasture in 2011 yet I have … Continue reading
1974: Tricky Dick resigns in disgrace
I can always remember this date because it’s also my dad’s birthday, what a gift he received! The overrated Princess Diana wedding happened on mine in 1981, I will never understand Americans’ obsession with a foreign royal family when we have our … Continue reading
I’ve ditched Dropbox for Spideroak
Unless you’ve been under a rock for the last couple years, cloud computing has been the overhyped rage. Sure it’s a nice back-up and way to have your stuff on hand through multiple devices…until the big fat EMP we’ll probably … Continue reading
First try!
Inspired by the jokes from the How it Should Have Ended episode of the Lego Movie, I had to have this shirt as a tribute to Batman’s 75th birthday and a counterpart to Adam West’s goofy antics.
Congratulations Becky Hammon!
Winning a fifth NBA title wasn’t enough for the Spurs! They’ve finally helped the sport break the gender barrier by bringing aboard a lady assistant coach who was no slouch as a player herself. I was puzzled over the picture … Continue reading
The Maggi Republic is now in the Black (or Green)!
For the first time in 13 years with me personally but it’s the absolute first time since Somara and I officially consolidated our money, hence what I call the new constitution to form the Third Maggi Republic. The First is … Continue reading
The Universe going my way a little
Despite all the annoyances I’m dealing with at work and home, I was rewarded for filling up my Prius before bed time. I found a 20 on the ground. Still good since the gasoline it absorbed didn’t destroy it. Going … Continue reading
This tribute isn’t overdone but it might be dry
Much to my wife’s annoyance, Bob’s Burgers has lately become a favorite show on Netflix (we don’t have cable or bother with broadcast). Fear not, nothing has been pushed aside, Bob’s has just joined the lengthy list. As it approaches its upcoming fifth … Continue reading
Dawn of the Planet of the Apes: Worth Seeing
I’m wondering if every horrendous Tim Burton reboot will eventually get another attempt and result in a good franchise like Apes. Probably not since all the others had little to go on beyond their original flicks. Anyway, the same team behind the … Continue reading
I don’t know officer, droids do all look alike
An overdue mashup from a new place I scored some shirts from, Teepublic. Normally I’d pass on most Star Wars jokes but if Bender is involved, then I’m sold. Although everyone’s favorite binge-drinking, kleptomaniac has no political loyalties (beyond himself, making him a … Continue reading
1994: Looking back on why I take my birthday off
Phew! What a delay in writing thanks to allergies and other obligations popping up, namely me taking on the bulk of the house/catsitting once I was well enough…I better not have broken anything in my right foot! I wanted to … Continue reading
Rest in Peace Caliban
I couldn’t get a definitive answer from my mother-in-law on when or how Caliban died beyond being this Summer. Carolyn’s memory isn’t what it used to be I’m realizing. I just was told yesterday he passed away while I was … Continue reading
