African-American Friday Afternoon Links

African-American Friday Afternoon Links

The leftovers should be packed away, desserts still sitting around, Advent calendars handed out, and Christmas music is in season. Digital geeks have been around for a long time. Well, I know I wait for the GOTY for Bethesda games to wait for the patches. I would say...

Week Before Thanksgiving Friday Afternoon Links

Week Before Thanksgiving Friday Afternoon Links

Well, I hope travel and meal plans have been made, as next week is the feasting holiday of Thanksgiving (sorry non-US people, you really are second class). But no one cares about that, or your fantasy football team. *sigh* Adding insult to the performance this past...

Two Weeks to Thanksgiving Warning

Two Weeks to Thanksgiving Warning

Well, this Sunday is the CLE meeting of the Browns and the Ravens. I was tempted to steal Tonio's dumpster fire images for the links today, but didn't want to confuse and frighten people. Once again, I'll be taking OMWC down into the Dawg Pound to watch the game....

Nephilium is a geek of multiple types living in the vast suburban forests of Cleveland.

Friday Afternoon Links

We've made it to November, we're on the downward slide of the year. Change freezes start up, holiday schedules start slowing projects down, and people just plain don't give a shit anymore. But you care not for such musings, you want links and drinks. A bit early, but...

Samhain Afternoon Links

It's Halloween, candy has been purchased, costumes have picked out, and movies have been watched. DON'T DATE ROBOTS! In local news. Gabe has been the one rock among tech companies. Steam has been pretty amazing about avoiding enshittification. On the other hand......

Return to the USA Friday Afternoon links

I have returned from flying to London to watch the Browns lose in the last several minutes of the game. On the other hand, England was not ready for Clevelanders and Minnesotans to arrive. They ran out of most food, and all but one type of beer by the half. But you...

Cheerio! Time Zone Confusions Afternoon(?) Links

After spending more than 30+ hours awake and most of it being in airport secured areas, I'm ready to burn the system to the ground. Delta has been worse than dealing with Frontier or Spirit airlines. Contemplate that on the TSA checkpoint of woe! There are just under...

Final September Friday Afternoon Links

Well, outside of an absolute shite week at work, the Indians are working on getting back to the post season, which was not expected a couple months back. The Browns are no longer winless, but I do not have a lot of faith in our offense against the Lions defense....

Retro Gaming Friday Afternoon Links

This weekend will hopefully go well, as I'll be spending most of it at the Cleveland Gaming Classic getting my Battletech fix in. Sunday, on the other hand, I'll be watching the Browns be dismantled by Green Bay, but the weather should be nice for it at least. With...

First Football Friday Afternoon Links

It's official, At this point, the Browns are NOT the worst team in the league, that would be the Cowboys. The Browns haven't lost yet. I'll be there on Sunday, you can try to look for me. I'll be the guy in a Flacco jersey, to the right of the uprights in the Dawg...

Long Weekend Friday Afternoon Links

The end of summer is fast approaching, on the plus side, that means football. On the negative side, it's going to be a rough season for the Browns. This weekend is the end of festival season locally, as people shift to clambakes and tailgates. Tonight, I'll be off to...

Fall weather Friday Afternoon links

Weather finally broke here, and after a storm moved through, we're in comfortable temps with windows open for a while. I for one am enjoying it. I'll be going to the preseason game on Saturday, and am still trying to decide on what mask to bring to the games this...

Mid-August Friday Afternoon links.

Fest season is here and busy. Over the next several weekends (in no particular order) I've got: Lakewood Wing Crawl, Garlic Festival, Riverfest, The Feast, Oktoberfest, and Taco Fest. I'm sure I'm missing something here, and will not be able to make to to all of the...

August Friday Afternoon Links the Second

August continues along, as locally, everyone and their churches is getting their festivals in. Unfortunately, I will be otherwise engaged this weekend, as I have a family obligation that I would rather not deal with. But you lot don't care about that, so let's get to...

Saturday Bottom of the Morning Links.

So, instead of listening to me, and going out and finding something fun to do, you've decided to come back here. Welcome back! There were some birthdays today, some sports stuff happened, and there's trouble in the world around us. So let's dance while it all burns....

Christmas in July Afternoon Links

One of the laziest excuses for drinking is here, Christmas in July. Local breweries brew up a batch or two of their Christmas ale, people put kegs they've held onto since December on tap, decorations come out, and Christmas music comes out for a couple of days. Last...

Moving Through July Afternoon links

The joys of summer in north east Ohio. Big temperature swings, heat, humidity, thunderstorms, and festivals. That's not even getting into the cook-offs and cultural festivals, of which there's competing ones almost every weekend. Last weekend, the girlfriend and I...
