With the nod to Sen. Harris, the 2020 election is solidified
I’m no Nate Silver or political svenghali (sic) but I knew Veep Foot-in-Mouth would pick Sen. Hypocrite Harris. She was the lazy, cynical, terrible choice this moron is known for making. Then again, I can’t recall any election in which America … Continue reading
Disney+ now allows The Simpsons to be viewed correctly!
Being able to watch The Simpsons without needing a DVD player and/or FX was a big incentive to subscribing to Disney+. However, the streaming playback sucked because they continued follow FX’s policy of zooming in on the first 22 seasons to avoid … Continue reading
COVID-19 free…for now!
I wasn’t feeling too hot Wednesday and was pretty much sick for the next several days. What made it worse were all the people I know who’ve either come down with the Corona Virus (ex-wife in March 2020) or had … Continue reading

Stray cats spotted by my security camera
Last week I got suckered into a “free” deal to have a security setup installed in my house, I think in the end it’s around $50-60/month for the bottom-end configuration. But I did get a cool camera installed on the … Continue reading

As of today, my personal radio station has lived 11 years past the debut of Mac OS X Server 10.6 (nine years after it was dumped for its less impressive successor 10.7), has played over 2.4 million songs and shuffles … Continue reading
Anje, Wyatt & Cannon return to Austin!
I finally received the green light from Anje to announce this wonderful news! Technically, they flew in from Doha over a week ago but I was vowed to secrecy because they needed to be quarantined for two weeks; some people … Continue reading
Someone rolled a ‘Natural 20’ on this French dude
Just horrifying to see this relic from the final battle between Napoleon and the allied forces against him. My first thought was, who the hell decided to take this off Fraveau’s corpse to save for posterity? My next was, well, … Continue reading
Googly eyes attack at Target!
Putting googly eyes on bland objects, posters, ads, whatever, always makes them better…and funnier! I bet the model who posed for this would be laughing.
Where have you been?

Fusion power! Maybe in a few years
The latest attempt to harness fusion power is being built in France by a rare cooperative effort between numerous nations, including those who are bitter enemies. I really hope they succeed and are on schedule as much as possible. It’s … Continue reading
RIP Wilford Brimley
Mostly famous for plugging Quaker Oats in the Eighties, Wilford is remembered best as being the scientist in The Thing who knew how dangerous the doppelgänger monster was. After the John Carpenter remake, I would have to go with Cocoon, the light-hearted … Continue reading
Agamemnon is FIV free!
Today I got Agamemnon to the vet with the doctor who first saw him last year. Much has changed since his first official checkup. The main one is how sociable he is now, as in a 180; he’s gone from … Continue reading
Farewell July 2020
I have my vast music collection and my love it all to get me through the shit storm. I’m also very lucky to have a new girlfriend who shares this passion (you rock Jennifer!) and a few friends with the … Continue reading
