To the rescue!

Posted on April 6, 2014 by Steve

My friend’s daughter showing off the super heroine attire I gave her (the Chucks and shirt). It’s good to see girls feeling comfortable with being fans and promoting their heroines!

Sorry about the recent outages, key issue may have been solved

Posted on April 5, 2014 by Steve

Picayune has had intermittent freak outs and then I took it down to put a different piece of hardware to experiment with. The good news is it wasn’t hardware nor the core OS, what a relief! The bad news is I had to … Continue reading →

Mike Modano

Posted on April 5, 2014 by Steve

Last night I got to meet the man who will be known as the highest-scoring US-born player for many years. Much like Martin Brodeur, Mike Modano now holds or has unified two records held by two great individuals: Goals were Joey Mullen … Continue reading →

Belated gift to my friend Flynn

Posted on April 3, 2014 by Steve

Sporting a shirt dedicated to his favorite roleplaying game and the one I used to work on for GDW. It’s an uber geeky joke poking fun at Traveller’s odd rule with character generation in which your PC can be killed … Continue reading →

The latest adjustment for my shoe collection

Posted on April 3, 2014 by Steve

Another Elfa sale at the Container Store, another pair of shelves, another reduction of space between shelves to accommodate my Chucks! As expected, I have more shoes than solution. I regret nothing! I do promise there will be a proper … Continue reading →

These colors don’t run

Posted on April 2, 2014 by Steve

But make sure you don’t wash them with something likely to bleed in the wash, like  something red or purple. Oh yeah, turn it inside out, use cold water and always air dry.

Coming up on 15 years…

Posted on April 1, 2014 by Steve

To celebrate, I tweaked the Mac’s 30th anniversary logo and melded it into my spot on the poster. My name is surrounded by numerous other people, some are co-workers I even know. I blurred them out to protect their privacy. … Continue reading →

Happy 15th birthday Miette

Posted on April 1, 2014 by Steve

Stray cats weaseling their way into my heart (and home) didn’t begin with Miette, it was Mongo but this little stinker was too sweet to give up for adoption. Originally I was going to name her Lily to keep the Blazing … Continue reading →

Mr. Peabody & Sherman: Rental at Best

Posted on March 31, 2014 by Steve

Compared to how poorly Jay Ward’s previous properties have fared, Peabody is a success over Dudley Do-Right, Boris & Natasha and The Adventures of Rocky and Bullwinkle. I almost forgot George of the Jungle which was way better than Peabody. Still this Dreamworks dreck is yet another … Continue reading →

Holy fire hazard! Batman is now 75

Posted on March 30, 2014 by Steve

The Caped Crusader, the Dark Knight, the greatest fictional detective since Sherlock Holmes…made his debut on this day in Detective Comics #27. If four terrible movies made by Tim Burton and Joel Schumacher couldn’t kill him, I think my favorite non-powered … Continue reading →

Congratulations to Travis Morin and my Stars!

Posted on March 29, 2014 by Steve

My team was the first to cinch a spot in this season’s playoffs! I think we will be raising another banner next fall for at least earning a divisional championship again. Bringing home the Calder Cup remains the goal. What … Continue reading →

RIP Oderus Ungerus & Lorenzo Semple Jr.

Posted on March 29, 2014 by Steve

Sad week regarding a couple odd creators. First was the news of GWAR’s lead singer being found dead earlier. Haven’t heard any follow up about the foul play suspicion. Oderus nee Dave Brockie gave me many years of laughter and … Continue reading →

Pardon this month’s virtual dust

Posted on March 27, 2014 by Steve

I’ve been enduring the server going offline intermittently for the last couple months. Not sure what the exact cause is but it’s driving me bonkers. Currently the Picayune is being hosted on another Mac Mini I received permission to borrow from … Continue reading →

Just for you Helen from the Big Dummy!

Posted on March 26, 2014 by Steve

My Redd Foxx/Fred Sanford shirt was finally pulled out of a storage bin in the living room! I bought this from a TV-driven Web store because it had the Star Wars tee I wanted for my co-worker Kathy and as expected, something Cheers related … Continue reading →
