I was moving some media around, organizing stuff last night. In lieu of blogs (I rarely post here) or hand-written logs (I ve tried), I started keeping personal vlogs on my phone, going back to around 2020, off and on. Even more so after 2023. These are usually just 20-30 minutes long, talking to a non-existent ... Frozen in Time
I lived in Clinton, CT from around roughly 1985 to 2015. I lived right on West Main Street across from the Chesebrough Ponds factory. Every day, a WW2-style siren would go off for about a minute. And since I was right across from where the siren was installed, it was quite loud. If you didn t ... The Pulse of Life
My mom was big into the supernatural/UFOs/Bigfoot/spirituality, and the rest. She wasn t a whacko or anything. She had a good head on her shoulders and was open to debate (which I provided regularly, much to her chagrin, I imagine). So don t get the wrong idea from that, she was definitely one of the good guys ... The Invocation of TubAI-cain
Since, apparently, Steam won t let me post a review of Wolfenstein: Youngblood for some reason, I ll toss it here. Maybe it s a glitch. Maybe it doesn t like me saying Nazi about a Wolfenstein game. TL;DR: A fun, optionally co-op side-mission to keep you occupied until BJ finally confronts Mecha-Hitler. It tries to introduce new (for ... Review: Wolfenstein: Youngblood The Kids are Alright
Over on a YouTube video, we were asked to post our thoughts on Star Trek: Picard, and I think I ve finally summed up my feelings on the entire run in a very tight, compact block, so I m posting them here for posterity. The first episode of Picard s first season is a real bitter-sweet experience. It ... Some Brief Notes on The Further Adventures of Elderly Space Man
A couple days ago I hit the one year anniversary of my mother s passing. And I m doing fine. No, really. It was rough at first, sure. She wasn t simply my mother, she was a good friend. And it was scary, lonely, and uncomfortable in this seemingly much emptier apartment in her wake. But it s been ... One Year Later
Earlier in the year, one of my favorite musicians had scheduled a show in New York City for July. Having had some big life changes late last year that left me with a LOT of empty, unrestricted freedom, I wasted no time adding her to my calendar. The day before the event, however, I realized ... The Huddled Asses of the French Pedestal
Just a quickie. If you ve picked up one of those $40 SI4732 mini spy radio devices, you quickly find out two things: it s adorable and looks great. And the interface is fucking horrendous. The click/double-click with rapid timeout design is incredibly frustrating, almost rendering the device, if not useless, then at least deeply unpleasant to ... Updating the firmware on the SI4732 mini spy radio…
This is not an original thought. In my opinion, the modern Ghostbusters sequels never quite get there in terms of being a success, because they re focusing on the wrong things. They re all about the nostalgia. The original was a huge success because the supernatural angle was just the dressing. Fun dressing, to be sure! But ... Why Modern Ghostbusters Sequels Will Always Be Mid
