Rue McClanahan made a video about the care and feeding of cats back in the day. I made a brief edit of the introduction to the video —
I’m Getting Too Old for This Shit

I like goofy old movies, Andor, and people complaining about shit, so I combined all three into a video that I spent too much time making:

I’ve found a bunch of pictures from my first digital camera, a Kodak DC240 Zoom. I bought it after I moved back to the States, so it must’ve been late 2000/early 2001. The camera had a 1.3 megapixel sensor, with a 3x optical zoom and 1280×960 resolution. I thought it was fantastic and it replaced…

Week in Review 20240818 – Be All My Peas Remember’d
Date: 2024-08-19
Categories: Week in Review
The week started out peacefully enough until I walked out onto my patio and noticed something was missing — several things, actually. All of my young pea plants had been pilfered in the night, but by who or what I didn’t know. My anger was tempered by the promise of a mystery and I immediately…

https://youtu.be/G9OyJ-Z9lns I caught this video recently about the diminishing market for so-called “graded” comics, which are comic books that have been professionally evaluated by a neutral third party and then encased within an ultrasonically-welded plastic case to preserve their condition. Apparently, sellers can’t offload these anymore, because no one wants them. If this video is…

Well the Olympics are over and I get to replay the same quadrennial nonsense that I always do: casual dismissal prior to the games, followed by growing emotional investment as I watch more and more events, followed by a crash after the closing ceremonies. You’d think I’d learn my pattern and change, but it’s my…
The Post-Twitter Social World

A look at some of the places that all the people who were smart enough to leave Twitter ended up (that I’m aware of): Mastodon. My first impression of Mastodon was not favorable, though I’ve come around to it in the last year or so. When I first started using it, it reminded me of…
