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




Summertime trips to the zoo and beach and everywhere else.




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




Xmas stuff and a Cybertruck review.




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




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.




Christmas travel.




Initial thoughts on Shadowverse Champions Battle and Gunfire Reborn. More Elden Ring and Across the Obelisk.




Prepping wood planks for the next project, chasing an elusive Gloomhaven personal quest, concatenate layers in ML, and a little bit of recreation.




Rain, goats, and gifts.




Final thoughts on the live action Cowboy Bebop, diving into Far Cry 6, and the Back 4 Blood final boss.




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.




The first night surf photography session in awhile. Halloween, elections, brushfires, and stonks.




Pandemic activities: trading, gaming, and coding.




A road trip, Fire Emblem Three Houses, and BL3 Handsome Jackpot.




A Maui trip during humpback season.




Some video game talk, a new jacket, and descaling the water heater.




Heroes of the Aturi Cluster, The Division, X-Com 2, PUBG, and Tacoma suspension.




Wedding.




Skiing with a torn MCL, file ops in Java, surfing, and Helldivers.




The big island at 14,000 feet above sea level and 60 feet below.




An office and OS reorg, sand and snow for the doggo.




KO turns 40, Dad turns 60 in Hawaii, Lee and Carly get married.




Dodgeball and a fantasy draft.




Skiing Kirkwood and taking the dogs to Fiesta Island.




The 2011 Red Bull Grand Prix at Laguna Seca.




E3 2011, deck work, and a shindig.




Swapping HIDs into the VR4 and lots of powder in Tahoe.




Civilization V, Dave Matthews, and Warp Riders.




Kafka drives a Bobcat and gets a bunch of new rawhides.




A live fantasy draft and some Axis and Allies.




July 4th bbq and fireworks.




A trip to NoVa.




I had quite a few visitors this weekend. The main project - other than good times - was resupporting the deck.




Some motorcycling, diving, and golfing on Maui




Erik's got a blog now. My forecast is interleaved Penn and Teller Bullshit-style rants and updates on the reich rocket (pictured). If only Connie, Curt, and me could convince him to join the photo class there'd be some great imagery to go with it. Relatedly, sign up for intermediate black and white at UnEx if you like to party.




I furnished the media room with some proper couches. They're just one palette up at the moment, but it's great for running audio wiring.




Enjoying the bbq and pool.




Another day, another few photos. The kitchen is now cleaned up, real renovations (cabinetry, counters, sink, etc.) are planned for a later date. But tonight was the first real meal thanks to finally having a selection of appliances. That would be chicken and waffles, delish.




Truth: evaluative focus is complete rubbish. Stop using it, everyone. Anonymous Cohort 1 was about 50/50 for having cars in focus at the last autocross. Anonymous Cohort 2 shot yesterday and was about 30/70. More than one person in my photo class have presented photos completely out of focus.




This is the first of what will be many design quandaries.




Today was autocross. Here are some pretty pictures courtesy Connie and Ted.




Ty downloaded some more tracks for Rock Band. My aspirations of rocking out to War Pigs were at last realized.




What do you buy for the spoiled little brother who gets everything? Road rash, of course. So I put together a dirt biking excursion to Corral Canyon. We rented a CRF230, TRX250, and XR400 from Califorina Motorsport. They were pretty good to rent from.




I took a midweek trip up to Tahoe's fabulous north shore. Apparently all that Wii Weather paid off, or I just got really lucky:




A few hours with the hottest new console.




Fort Point in black and white.




Rosarito.




E3 2004.




A few shots from a Tahoe ski trip.




Gamecube, Sonic, and a Saleen S7 at the 2001 E3 Expo.
