The title is from the lyrics of a song by a band I started listening to entirely too much. They only have like five remotely interesting tracks. I kind of want to go to their concert if they ever go on tour again. And the video this lyric is from is hilarious. It's only been … Continue reading Choo-choo-choo (all board the blog train…!)

I couldn't think of title so this is the best I could do. It's a from an old skit show called Whose Line. Very obscure reference. I isolated the clip and uploaded it thinking it was funny. I didn't get any reactions but I'm still assuming it's hilarious. It ended up being a bit longer … Continue reading Ding-Ding-Ding-Ding …if you know what I mean (Meta #11) →

I seem to only be doing these meta posts every 6 or so months now. That seems fine. I had to go back and read my last meta post to bring myself up to date on...myself. I could go on and on about a few things that have happened but knowing myself it'd end up … Continue reading Only 5000 hours left (Meta #10) →

It's been a while since my last meta post and in general and only partially related this blog may be at a turning point. That's pretending for a moment anyone actually read this blog. Yes, lets all pretend. A few things have changed since that faithful meta post about scratch programming. For one thing I … Continue reading My risky scheme and lack of commitment (Meta #9) →

I'm not sure if this fits into my already ill-defined "meta" category but I'm going to go with it. Since my last meta, I actually started a new game which assuming I ever finish (looks like at least 100 hours for completion, probably more) I will post a review for. I also watched a couple … Continue reading Better living through Scratch (Meta #8) →

The past two or three months I've felt like I was locked into week-after-week pattern. Going to work coming home, every day exactly the same with the most minimum of variation. And actually the weekends were largely the same: just a repeat every single time. I had been committed to finishing two TV shows (Starget … Continue reading Severely Rutted (Meta #7) →

These meta entries were intended to be more posts about the posts. Stuff that may not make sense to go into in an actual post. That didn't really last very long though. And this one kind of throws that out the window entirely. I happen to live in the area affected by the massive blackouts … Continue reading The Blackening 2: Electric Boogaloo (Meta #6) →

I got home from work last night around 9:00 to a house sitting 85 degrees F. That's hot in case you couldn't tell. So apparently my AC is out. I opened some windows, turned on some ceiling fans and left a box fan in one of the windows over night to cool it off. And … Continue reading The Good news and the Bad News (Meta #5) →

Update-after-writing: this turned in to a bit more of a "stream of consciousness" than I had planned. But I kind of like it the way it is so I'm leaving it this way. I wasn't actually planning it but it seems I have taken the entire month of July off of both submitting to this … Continue reading Mental Vacations (Meta #4) →

Not sure why I was thinking of this reference recently. Sometimes stuff like this gets stuck in my head. The only thing I'm thinking about right now is how I can ramp up the content of the blog. I have almost 15 years or possibly 15 years of back content from prior blogs and notes … Continue reading The Dennis Miller Ratio (Meta #3) →
