It would be a bit of an understatement to say the past few months have been very stressful. I’ve let plenty of things slide that I wish I hadn’t and one of them has been a bit of a site clean up. I’ve done a couple of updates but there was some stuff hanging around … Continue reading “A Little Site Update”

The strategy between the two candidates appears to be “Don’t answer questions, just talk about how the other guy stinks”. Biden is a bit better than Trump in this regard, but overall, not great.

Welcome back gang. What are we playing this weekend? Last night I bounced around between Destiny 2, Call of Duty, Halo, and even got a game of Rocket League in. I find that I try to pick up other games for a bit, just because I work on Destiny 2 so it’s good to have … Continue reading “What are we playing this weekend? (6/22/2024)”

So what are we playing this weekend? I’ll be playing Destiny 2, and probably MLB The Show. I’m very much looking forward to College Football 25 coming out in July.

It was a good fit. I was thinking about some of the advantages that … Continue reading “3 Benefits to Being a Morning Person”

I think most people have a comfort show. Mine is Silicon Valley. I think I enjoy the humor and while it’s not “nerd humor” per se, it’s attached to the nerdom I live in and I think that makes it enjoyable. I forget how many times I’ve seen it, but enough that I feel like … Continue reading “Ranking the Silicon Valley Seasons”

The follow up to Green Day’s American Idiot is 21st Century Breakdown, and as a record, I enjoy it more than American Idiot. While I enjoy individual tune’s from American Idiot more than 21st Century Breakdown, there is one tune that stands out to me and it’s The Static Age. As implied by the title, … Continue reading “The Static Age”

I’m doing a little redesign of the site. I considered doing a big redesign locally and then a big push to the production site when I thought it was ready but that seemed like less fun then just adding little ideas along the way. It actually allows me to blog about some of the choices … Continue reading “Making Items Move on Hover with CSS”

I have some long weekends coming up as I need to get rid of some PTO before I lose it. I figured it would be fun to write down the games I’m playing during this time. This weekend is another mild rainy weekend here in Seattle. However, next weekend is supposed to be sunny and … Continue reading “What I’m Playing This Weekend”
