Star Wars Zero Company, finishing Horizon Forbidden West, and some fun in the sun.




Summer activities: pool, beach, amusement parks, ballgames, and hiding from the heat in the man cavern.




A sci-fi speakeasy, drone show, and beagles battling the Millennium Falcon.




I watched some World Cup soccer.




Hades II, Borderlands 4, and some others.




Office renovation, faucet repair, and some odds and ends.




Stuff is breaking all over the place for me - bath fixtures, motorcycle parts, dreams of attending the World Cup.




A week in Kauai.




Looking back at 2025.




Holiday stuff at home and up the coast.




Some thoughts after a good amount of stick time with Borderlands 4 and Astro Bot.




Escaping the queen in Aliens: Fireteam Elite, a few minutes of Stardew Valley, and a few hours of Abiotic Factor.




Drills and takeaways from a second season of U6 soccer.




Halloween, Octoberfest, and a staycation with a concert.




Friendsgiving, Padres, the Miramar Airshow, and some pool time.




Exploring the indieweb is a bit like hopping planets in a sci-fi galaxy.




Summertime trips to the zoo and beach and everywhere else.




Chasing completionist goals and sometimes just completion in Sackboy, Horizon Forbidden West, Shadow of the Erdtree, and Aliens: Fireteam Elite.




A few days of diving, swimming, and eating in Avalon.




Diving back into Horizon, progressing in SOTE, and finding a new game for the little one.




In search of an eight anniversary gift.




Lego Star Wars, Shadow of the Erdtree, and the end of Persona 3 Reload.




Five days before the mast on Disney Wonder.




Rogue Trader, rogue trading, rogue code and renovation projects, and some Mad Max-y boardgaming.




A few photos from the '25 Cape Run.




A trip to the Great Wolf Lodge.




A couple of trips, a few thoughts on the Ford F-150, and a gripe about Lyft.




Xmas stuff and a Cybertruck review.




Parasite SEO and a solution.




Winter activities: art projects and video games.




Friendsgiving in Yosemite.




My first clutch adjustment.




Costume parties and black cats. And a rainbow seahorse.




Finishing the deck railing.




A little bit of everything: planes, games, projects, and tech.




Some under-6 soccer drills and activities.




Catalina and then some gaming in NoVa.




House projects and such.




Just a crayon drawing.




A few outings.




Some fun in the sun with friends and family.




The indieweb, SCOTUS hoists itself with its own petard, a visit to the Fleet Science Center, and some video games.




A BMW pedal car and lots of water falling from the sky.




Screencaps and a little discussion of Remnant II, BG3, Stray, and Slay the Spire.




A few photos from the holidays: Safari West, cozy fires, and a Boneys sess.




Creating a small play area in the sideyard using rubberized playground tiles.




Links pages, webrings, and search.




Friendsgiving in SF and some board games.




Fall means pumpkin patches and relatively empty beaches and zoos. It's also good for board and video games.




Is Stray good game for a two year old to copilot? Also Payday 3, Baldur's Gate 3, and Fallout 76.




Some telephoto shots of the Blue Angels doing neat tricks.




Finishing BG3 Act I, some cuteness, and Harland's Ube IPA.




Pool volleyball and diving board tricks.




A short trip to Catalina Island.




Hurricane Hilary, scuba, and leisure.




Oppenheimer and choice quotes about the recent web2 happenings.




A summer trip to Washington State.




A few short trips and wondering why something isn't a thing.




Gamespost: GTA Online, FTL, Goat Simulator, and a few old favorites. I guess those are all old, but I hadn't played them before.




Quick bites (quibis) about NVDA, wheelbarrow adventures, and some games.




Just normal stuff - a concert, a few house projects, some vehicle discussions, and our last Gloomhaven scenario.




Fighting off viruses.




A scuba dive, some tea parties, and organizing the video game sock drawer.




Some offroading, a new fridge water pump, and The Witcher on Netflix.




The Blind Lady Ale House Cape Run returned in 2023.




Christmas travel.

A trip to the big island.




More investment carnage, turf boot carnage, and sci-fi carnage.




The veranda gets artificial grass and is finally complete.




A birthday party, wood oil, board games, video games, and other stuff.




Trying to find out how many files are in a Google Drive directory precipitates a short rant about the big picture.




Trading the stroller out for a baby backpack. Retrofitting old posts to new markup. A couple Elden Ring dragons.




What do NASDAQ and Elden Ring have in common? Also a trip to the amusement park and some machine learning meta topics.

Initial thoughts on Elden Ring and Horizon Forbidden West with plenty of screencaps.




The US claims an invasion is imminent, Reddit watches drones, I buy energy stonks.




Russia stages forces on its Ukrainian border and a Redditor connects the Putin-Manafort-Burisma dots. I hunt treasure in Far Cry 6 and hit the final stretch of the Mass Effect trilogy. KO and Connie play on words in a language I do not understand.




Rain, goats, and gifts.




Danny Trejo opens a taco shop in Yara, the lolbaters play the Super People beta, and I play ME3 From Ashes.




Buckling down for the totally-predictable omicron surge by watching (anime) Cowboy Bebop, Wheel of Time, and audioreading Ringworld. Also: Back 4 Blood, Gloomhaven, Nioh 2, Mass Effect 3, and Risk of Rain 2. I should go outside. No, wait, omicron.




Friendsgiving mayhem, timely Halloween costumes, gun stonks, and Tacoma parts. And some machine learning graphics links and learnings.




A bespoke graphics editor for my static blog workflow. Lordstown finally hits the highway after inking a deal with Foxconn. PUBG and Nioh 2 are the multiplayer selections, Mass Effect 2 on the solo front.




Covid, ivermectin, and memes. Fantasy football is back and I play Nioh 2, Mass Effect 2, and Dying Light 1 a second time.




I start Mass Effect 2, Google kills Hangouts, the US pulls out of Afghanistan.




Digging through the shoebox of film photos.




Veranda construction, the new Zero cafe racer, Microsoft nouns a verb, Lordstown dilutes, and I play a few video games.




Screencaps and commentary from Virgin Galactic's first passenger flight... then they dilute. Some more Lordstown chat.




PLTN, SPCE, and RIDE. I watch the China Hustle (recommend!) and some video games are played.




Lordstown, Virgin Galactic, and Paperhands Portnoy. Veranda construction and a Wuhan Hong Dong Long stout. Mass Effect Legendary Edition, at last. And RIP Johnny Mac and Google Hangouts.




Lots of woodporn as the veranda takes shape. Meme stonks stage a comeback and candles are replaced with crayons.

Construction begins on the veranda, the market dips while China cracks down on crypto, meme stonks, and some video games.

My winding path to vaccination, the perfect PUBG match, hardware multiboot, and discussions from my spicy millennialism list.




WSB donates its tendies to fellow apes. Some wheel trading analysis. Games: Bloodborne, Fire Emblem, Remnant.
