Christmas travel.




Spoilery roundoup of Pandemic Legacy Season 0.




A newspost about soccer, Twitter, Europe, and money.




Twitter, Elon, a video card upgrade, and some music.




A family-friendly winery, a ballgame, and a weekend trip.




Gallery of the Blue Angels at the Miramar Air Show.




Across the Obelisk Void boss tactics, shou sugi ban, hard drive management, The Cool S, Elden Ring, and a trip to Vegas.




Across the Obelisk for solo and co-op, replacing a shower cartridge, and a new PC case. And the usual stuff: Gloomhaven, current events, and investing.




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.




WSB discussion about margin borrowing, Zillow, and Evergrande. Links to code samples for graphics processing and some work on the veranda.




Pool pump work, hacker news and the indie web/blogsphere, and Elon wants to buy Twitter.




Pandemic Season 0, Zinsco breaker replacement, robots shooting basketballs, and the Blyatskrieg grinds on.




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.




Final thoughts on the Mass Effect trilogy, I create lists of my favorite graphics, and a Far Cry 6 villain rides a lion.




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.




We decided to go to NorCal for xmas this year.




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.




I replaced my old Canon scanner with a new LIDE400. The old one was photography grade but mid-tier; it had a backlit insert for negatives and slides. No longer, it looks like the unassuming LIDE400 is Canon's top model. Flatbed scanners aren't great for negatives and slides anyway.




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.




Poway things, steel cable, veranda materials research, and dishwasher repair. Seeking Alpha and my college buddies dissect the recent meme stonk movement.




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




I check out Google search console, discuss graphics in static site generation, and talk SEO when I really don't care about SEO. Plus some investing, video games, and foot talk.




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.




Danielle arrives. And some other stuff while nevously awaiting delivery.
