2023
Hello again, World. Figured I may as well reboot this as a public notepad; use if for class notes, and other general systems things. Anyway, today’s victory is getting a new theme installed; let’s see if we can keep this going.

Love me some Chromecast
Chromecast is one of the things that is hugely underrated when it comes to price/performance; however, it’s just technical enough that I haven’t told my mom to get one yet. TL;DR – Google’s built Chromecast to let it be extremely useful if you can do an effective search and aren’t afraid to dig a couple…

Zepplin. Led Zepplin.
Flying home from California, I’m inspired to listen to Led Zepplin through ZOSO in chronological order. Sure, me and about a million other people since the iPod was invented 14 years ago, but bear with me.

25 sep 2007
On the cheap plastic wall clock, the big hand was pointing to 12, and the little hand was pointing to 6. Once again, five o’clock had come and gone, and I was still sitting at my desk working up numbers for yet another data call. A quick prairie-dog over the top of the cubicle showed…

Cat in a box
So, I’ve been flying a bunch again lately, and at times I’m struck with the state of suspension that is a plane in the air. Yeah, statistics and all show that we’re safer flying than driving, blah, blah, blah. But I came across footage of a DC-10 crash back in the 80s. The plane had…

One Hundred Words
Proved to be too much for me. Not quite sure why, but my writing has been really suffering lately. Work’s been great though, so could it be just a change of priorities?
