Other than the pope business, the big news in my corner of the internet yesterday was Rob “not the Matchbox 20 guy” Thomas’s Kickstarter to fund a Veronica Mars movie project. That this is even kind of a possibility is great news, because I loved me some Veronica Mars. In spite of it’s occasional flaws*, […]

Wish I had more to say…life’s been interesting, in a mentally and physically taxing sort of way, but not a lot going on worth blogging about. I’ll spare you my misery surrounding economic uncertainty, national politics, timing not lining up the way I want it to, and occasional buyer’s remorse. Rather than doing that, I’m […]

Yeah, quiet on all fronts the last week or so, save one or two harried tweets and a handful of desperate conversations. Sorry ’bout that. The biggest hassle is a work thing. Part of my job is managing some exceptionally technical tasks that normally go beyond someone in my job series, given to me without […]

Once again, the threat of weather has me working from home, which I don’t mind at all. I have plenty of official sorts of things to review and wordsmith, which should keep me busy for my requisite eight hours of workday. That said, otherwise, the week’s been kind of a dud. I was ready to […]

I imagine all you readers out there clamoring for my lastest thoughts and feelings on the world at large, all three or four of you, are probably pretty disappointed at my output lately. You know what, I’m not thrilled about it either. However, I’m not sure when or if things are going to change, at […]

This time, all that stress is going straight to my head, providing sustenance and power to those gnomes in my frontal lobe with the pneumatic hammers…you know […]

I purposely don’t talk much about work here except in generalities; there’s something to be said for establishing some boundaries between my lives there and out here in the digital æther. That said, this new job involves some definite life-changing arrangements that seem like proper grist for the blog mill, so, I’m going to talk […]

With school back in session, it was only a matter of time before stories like this one started cropping up; with parents complaining to school boards about the inappropriateness of titles on the school reading list. Not surprisingly, I’m against this sort of thing. Part of the process of education is expanding one’s base of […]

As a geek and general fan of science-ey and space-ey things, I understand the significance of Neil Armstrong’s passing this weekend. The first man who walked on the Moon; the man who did that big momentous thing so seemingly effortlessly (other than managing to miss an “A” in his big moment in the spotlight, anyway); […]

Given that I spent a little while this weekend listening to someone make some remarks about “The goal of world community with peace, liberty, and justice for all”, and that at least a few of those remarks related to gun violence, I was particularly attuned to, and dismayed by the fact that on my morning […]
