WP 3.8 upgrade was successful
You can’t tell from this side but the back-end/admin side is quite different. Not sure if it will solve two key problems. Get me to write/think faster for more timely posts. Block out the assholes who’ve been making my server require … Continue reading

It’s December already?
Pictured for this month’s header is my maternal grandmother’s house circa 2012 according to Google Maps’s street view. It looks practically the same with a few exceptions. I don’t recall the tree out front, guessing upon its age, my mother … Continue reading
Back up after some backing up
In order to avoid a repeat of the $2000 data recovery bill from last year, I finally got around to taking the server offline to back it up in its entirety. Ugh, I hadn’t done it since June 2013. Not … Continue reading

November is 2013 is Shatsgiving
In less than three weeks, Somara and I will be meeting William Shatner at Austin’s Wiz World. One of the ultimate wedding anniversary presents a couple nerds can give each other! This year’s convention has numerous great guests too. I’m … Continue reading
KMAG exceeds 1.5 million plays last month!
I haven’t been as dedicated to my stream as I should be so all the new tunes are lagging behind and the vacation didn’t become the opportunity I thought it would be, even with the timeshare having Wi-Fi “built-in.” No … Continue reading
Saluti! It’s Italian Heritage Month 3 and National Pizza Month
The stars are aligned today! I accidentally posted that cat movie earlier because I didn’t know it was officially National Pizza Month until I was researching further sources for famous Italians and a cool header. Sure it’s a stereotype but pizza … Continue reading
September ’13 for this week…1998!
This week’s header came from a lucky burst of inspiration so it didn’t take too long to put together. Normally when I get started, I do a Google-based search for the year and see which images appear. Often it’s nothing … Continue reading
September ’13 for this week…1993!
Moving up another five years, I brought back the animation/comedy darlings of then, ol’ Beavis & Butt-head. What do they have to do with back-to-school stuff? They were high school students or upper-end junior high students, depends upon the type … Continue reading
September ’13 is continuing to shift!
After being inspired by the Alamo Drafthouse’s Back to School theme for their older movie screenings, I decided to take their idea and continue it with my site. Originally I was going to move forward to 1993 but I’ll save that … Continue reading
Happy September ’13, this month’s design may fluctuate
September is always a super-busy month. There’s the back-to-school stuff going into full swing, Labor Day Weekend tends to be the official end of Summer as per a favorite movie (The Flamingo Kid), the Silder wedding anniversary, 3000 deaths justifying … Continue reading

Blog Recovery Two
For some annoying reason, the blog got knocked out through a restart (or at least that’s the correlation of events). Thanks to the ingenius Adam Knight (co-worker and D&D player in my campaign), I got it up again without a … Continue reading
Picayune Recovery
Due to a thunderstorm on Thursday night (August 4), the power went out (a common occurrence in Austin) but then the whole site was kaputski! Oh the poetic justice many of my customers would enjoy knowing of my misfortune (as … Continue reading
Permanent change to the Picayune
In less than a month, I made a decision about the future of the Picayune as you can see. I owe a ton of gratitude to my friend Mark for pushing me toward the blog direction with my site. Ever … Continue reading
Welcome!
Hey everyone! Firstly, I want to readily admit that I am rather behind the curve on this ‘blogging nonsense but it will still not be what I have ridiculed over the months. Secondly, I am still learning and experimenting with … Continue reading
