Welcome to Earth, 3rd Rock from the Sun. Today is the day that we celebrate it. I’m not sure why, something from the 1970s. Anyway despite what you might think you know about me, I do support the earth. I like it, I love it, I want some more of it. In fact, I’ve gone … Continued
Today the Grand Canyon turns 100 years old. Well, it’s actually several million years old, but the protections put in place by the great President Teddy Roosevelt are celebrated. I’ve been to the Grand Canyon 3 different times in my life. Nothing quite prepares you for a helicopter ride over and below the rim though. … Continued
I thought that I had everything worked out, but it seems like there are still issues with the new server. There was a power blip this morning. For realz, half a second of no power to restart everything (apparently the server is not plugged into the UPS, I should fix that). The server started up … Continued
It’s no secret (or it shouldn’t be anyway), that I love Rollercoaster Tycoon. I spent many hours of my youth building parks. Sometimes playing the scenarios, oftentimes just screwing around trying to build giant parks. My favorites were building multiple mile long coasters with dozens of inversions, yet still trying to keep the ratings down … Continued
The Infamous day was Seventy Seven years ago. The speech will happen tomorrow. But the day is today. Remember it.
I apologize for my lack of posts this year. In case you didn’t know, I bought a house. Houses are a lot of work. It’s taken me plenty of time this year getting things set up the way I want them, then spending more time fixing things, and then spending even more time relaxing and … Continued
The world changed forever 17 years ago. I remember, I was in highschool, at our welcome to the new school year Mass. When it was over, the president of the school announced it to us all (it was only around 9am). We went back to our classrooms and watched it unfold throughout the day. Some … Continued
You may or may not have noticed, but the blog has some new shoes on. A few weeks ago the server went kapoot. I don’t know exactly what happened, I think there was a storm and surge and the server wouldn’t boot. Either way, the server is up and running now. I had been in … Continued
California is on fire. (What else is new). However, this summer fires closed Yosemite Valley for an extended period of time. The valley wasn’t at risk of the fire, rather the wind was pushing the smoke into the valley and causing very bad air quality. Recently the park re-opened, reddit user cesar1894 shared this video … Continued
Earlier this month something unbelievable happened, StumbleUpon closed down. I didn’t know it was founded in 2002. I started using it in 2005, or 2006 I think. I can’t remember exactly, I’m pretty sure that I started using the site well before that blog post, but who knows. Endless hours, nay, days were spent stumbling … Continued
