A Different Sort of Real Person

“…He’s not a real person.” “You’re only saying that to make me feel better.” “Ok, he’s a real person. But he’s a different sort of real person.” “In what way?” “I don’t know. He just is. He’s like James Dean and Marilyn Monroe and Jimi Hendrix and all those people. You know that he’s going …read more…

Yahoo, this is why you suck…

…and why the rest of you should avoid using Yahoo. For some time, I’ve been debating whether I want to host my own image gallery or not, mainly because I can’t afford to spend more money on memory for my VPS, especially where there are plenty of free online photo sharing platforms. Since Flickr is …read more…

Moving Out

When I first started a personal blog, I had no idea what to do with it. I thought I would post a few recipes, write about my weekend at the beach, and that would be about it. Instead, this blog became a tremendous learning experience for me. I started podcasting (thanks to Wil Wheaton and …read more…

Today is Tuesday, August 12, 2014

I’m a busy person, which is one of the reasons I don’t watch a lot of television. Production values are at an all-time high, because technology has increased in quality at the same rate it has decreased in price (thank you, NASA), but from a content standpoint, most of it is utterly worthless. I don’t …read more…

Make Your Own Laundry Detergent

I had been researching for over a year how to make your own laundry detergent, I just haven’t the time or the energy to do it. While there are several recipes available online, I condensed them all into what I believe is the simplest one. So, as part of the “get excited and make stuff” …read more…

One thing I’ve noticed is that pickled jalapeños from the grocery store are inconsistent. Some are hot, some aren’t, and none of them are fresh. I like to make my own. It’s easier than you think. Ingredients 1/2 cup apple cider vinegar 1/2 cup water 2 Tbs sugar 1 tsp salt 2-3 garlic cloves, sliced …read more…

Kind of thought my beard trimmer looked like Cthulhu

Peeked out of the shower and saw this. The comb looked a bit more tentacly in the steam and without glasses. Maybe this is more like it?

So I made this…

I was so inspired by Ernest Cline’s Ready Player One, that I made this icon to use as my Facebook avatar: Feel free to download it and use it yourself, or to alter it to suit your tastes: Because I was excited and careless, it’s in a non-standard size (432 x 432 pixels). You can …read more…

Silent Noise Project #006

Hey there! It’s good to see you again, too. Welcome to episode #6 of the Silent Noise Project. This episode is 54 minutes and 27 seconds long and weighs in at a very petite 49.8 megabytes, although, as always, your mileage may vary. That’s a pretty cool cassette image, isn’t it? If you agree, or …read more…

Project Wideawake #008, part 2

Welcome to the second part of episode #8 of Project Wideawake. Why two parts? It’s a long story, but the tl;dr version is this: it’s been three years since I’ve done a podcast, so I decided for this first one to recap some of my favorite songs from the first seven episodes. Turns out there …read more…
