  • I just played through Portal 2 a couple of weeks ago, for nostalgia’s sake.

    “Those of you who volunteered to be injected with praying mantis DNA, I’ve got some good news and some bad news. Bad news is, we’re postponing those tests indefinitely. Good news is, we’ve got a much better test for you: fighting an army of mantis men! Pick up a rifle and follow the yellow line. You’ll know when the test starts.”




  • The youngest Boomer is 61. There are plenty of 61-year-olds I’d vote for, and older. For instance, I’d still vote for Bernie–just get him in office, it doesn’t matter how long he lives. Conversely, there are plenty of under-40-year-olds I would not vote for. The problem has nothing to do with age. There are a lot of 20-something MAGAs.



  • I learned to type on an IBM typewriter in school back in the early 80s, I got a D in the class, but a few years later, when I got my first computer, that training would become very useful.

    I went from typewriter to keyboard, but I only vaguely remember needing to learn the nuances of a computer keyboard–Ctrl, Alt, Del, Ins, Home, End, etc. It all seems so natural, now, moving between word processing, to graphic design, to games, using the same keyboard for very different tasks.

    I sit here, now, typing on my favorite keyboard of the past 15 years, the Logitech K800. I own three of this model, and only two still work. Sadly, the K800 was discontinued, and it’s virtually impossible to find one for sale, they’re highly sought after by those who love them. I was shocked they discontinued it, considering its popularity. Maybe it became too costly to make?










  • Many, many (many), years ago I put a flyer up on an outdoor bulletin board that said:

    SEX SEX SEX (In big letters)

    Now that I have your attention, this has nothing to do with sex, I’m looking for a roommate…

    There was a bench right next to the board, so I sat for a while and listened to people react. It worked, in that several people stopped, laughed, and commented. But, in hindsight, I wasn’t surprised that no one called.
