I am of an age that September is back to school month, even though most schools start earlier. It’s the change to fall, as leaves start changing, the temperatures start cooling, and the days get shorter. So for this month, let’s go back to the drink that eventually...
First, thank all of you for putting up with the issues we've been having with the scheduler. It's not as if we have a team of on call professionals standing by to receive your calls. On that note, we are running low on content to feed into the maw of the beast, so if...
One of my local Cocktail Bars While I have previous talked about common and correct behavior at bars, I have not yet delved into the different types of bars. So let’s get going. To start with, these are meant to be descriptive, not prescriptive, and broadly general....
The squirrels are trying to warm their nuts, but the lights are LED and won't generate the heat they want. I too frequently forget about my free Epic library. What could possibly go wrong? For me, the first game was short and did not have the promised depth of FO:NV....
The POLAR VORTEX cold weather has moved back in, and we've been blanketed in snow. I have one perfect NFL playoff bracket so far, which has the Broncos, Patriots, Seahawks, and Bears winning this weekend. I'm pretty confident in the Broncos and Seahawks pick at this...
I'm tired, seriously tired of the predictable scripts being run by everyone. When I can predict with 99% accuracy what the news stories will say, what's the point of writing them or reading them? In more positive news, I've decided to add a mini-Glibfit here on...
New year, same shit, right? Welcome to the Public Domain! I'd like to see more things enter the Public Domain. As an example all of those shows that were pulled from streaming and the rights "destroyed". Public Domain. All of them. It's been a dumpster fire as long as...
Unlike most years, we've now got two weeks of garbage time at work with these Fridays that are just interrupting a 4 day weekend. It was good to see my family again, the nephews are getting older, and the talk of college has begun. I just support him making his...
R.J. is enjoying time with his family, as I hope everyone here is. I share here now a movie based on a book series that is very dear to me, this is the penultimate story of the Death cycle (my second favorite, Vimes and the Watch reign supreme). So tonight, I present...
Well, here it is. Time to start wrapping gifts, and making sure everyone is covered. With that, let's get into the links. This has no relation to the Browns stadium that the city was fighting to keep. "It's not a strategy, it's a lifestyle." IT: Welcome to Derry went...
Here we are, less than two weeks until Christmas. At least here, it's been colder and snowier than it has been for the past several years. This of course means it's a crisis. In local news, there's a state Supreme Court case that could have some big implications for...
Subbing.
The Christmas season is coming hard, as temperatures drop as fast as approval ratings. But we care not for such things, let's get to some links. I hope they never learn about Deus Ex. I can't be the only one who keeps a rough estimate of the total as I put things in...
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...
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...
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....
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...
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......
Go local sportsball team!
Just a week before Halloween, and then to fight for Thanksgiving in the face of Christmas being everywhere. *sigh* Why? At this point, who is it for? And I'll even defend the most recent reboot as not terrible (unnecessary, but not terrible). If you had any interest...
That's right, only 14 days left before you can expect some grubby kids knocking on your door wearing costumes, and asking important questions in the modern time. After you get the pollsters and missionaries off the steps, make sure to offer the kids trick or treating...
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...
The Art of Raising the Wrist.
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...
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....
