I cleaned out my screenshots folder last weekend. These are among the goodies I found: I have experienced this in the past. I don’t know if it’s still a thing or not. Also this: When I was a kid in the 80s, watching these films, I didn’t live a life like any of them. (I …read more…
I hate it when spammers don’t even try. This showed up as a comment on my About page: I wouldn’t mind this so much, except for the following: The spammer calls this an email, when this is clearly a comment. My domain will expire in 12 hours, which is not a time spam any legitimate …read more…
Today is Good Friday, although that means nothing to me because I am an agnostic/atheist. Mostly it means that a lot of people thought I would have the day off, but as this is a religious and not a federal holiday, I did not.

January 3, 2021 I’m not doing a new year resolution. I’m not. I absolutely refuse. I saw someone on Instagram say that you should do “intentions” instead of resolutions. I’m not sure what the difference is. Surely resolving to do something and intending to do something are pretty much the same thing? In reality, that’s …read more…
Star Trek The Original Series and Star Trek The Next Generation intros done in each other’s styles. Thank you, Internet!

YouTube did exactly that when they recommended TheCrafsMan SteadyCraftin to me. I just love everything about his videos. This …read more…
2020 has been a busy year for me. I’m hoping that things slow down a bit in 2021 and I get to be more creative. Anyway, I ran across The Word Machine, by Timo Van Neerden. (It’s part of his web tools package, which you can find here.) In no time at all, I came …read more…
Well, I did a thing: I created a cooking channel on YouTube. The first video is pork cutlets in the air fryer: If you need more of that, head on over and subscribe. And if you need less of it, then leave a comment here. Next up, I’ve got a couple of shopping videos, simple …read more…
