Back in 2015 I tried a “Project 365” in which I would post a picture each day. I didn’t really have a theme, per se. Some days I posted something I’d done that day, other days it was completely random.…

Devoured by its own economic model

This is actually a great article over at SBNation which is more about economics than the NFL and Football. TL;DR – NFL franchises have become experts at “squeezing every profitable dollar, and trimming every wasteful one from the budget” making their…

More like Alt-Wrong

I’m a generally amicable person. I don’t hold grudges well, I’m friendly, I try to look at both sides of an issue objectively. What I’m trying to say is that I feel like I’m a pretty even-keeled person.   But there…

Recipe: Baked Apples

Baked apples are a Fall tradition in our house. Every year since the kids were little we’ve gone apple picking. When you’ve got bags and bags of apples, you have to figure out a way to use them all. Apple…

A different world

Note: I posted this originally on the Friendface … but felt I should post it here too. Found this photo on imgur. People watching the WTC burn 16 years ago. I remember that day pretty vividly. I remember feeling like the…

Vegan Garlic Alfredo Sauce

I made this vegan garlic Alfredo sauce tonight … and it was a hit! The recipe is from “The Vegan 8“, so it’s only eight ingredients. I found it took a little longer than the recipe suggests to make. It…

Parade of the Wooden Soldiers

I went to Arlington National Cemetery to visit my Oma today. She passed away almost seven months ago. I got much more emotional than I expected to, if I’m honest. But her headstone is complete now … so it was…

Organic Foods Aren’t Healthier

For the record, I don’t shop for organic foods because they’re healthier. I shop for them because they’re grown and/or produced without the use of (or with severely limited use of) pesticides. According to this article in The Telegraph the…

Mindfulness

I’ve recently decided I need to practice more mindfulness. I’ve always been pretty carefree and not really too focused on the past or future. The problem is, I also tend to default to just “live” in the present. I have…

Not OKKK

Looking for free anti-fascism / anti-racism vector art? Thanks to Bobby Hundreds, your search is over! The art was inspired by Heather Heyer, who lost her life in the Charlottesville attack on 12 August. Source: Bobby Hundreds Gives Away Free…

Please greet me with a heart full

Why am I so behind the times sometimes? I’ve only just recently started listening to Run The Jewels. These guys are great! I don’t study war no more I don’t hate the poor no more Gettin’ more ain’t what’s more…

Mind the gap

I tweaked some stuff on the back end, I’m curious if picture uploads from Android will work now… Yup, looks like it. Testing the Twitter integration after publishing too.

Testing from Android

Nifty, eh. Not only did I manage to get WordPress up and running for a couple domains, I also managed to tweak it to access from the Android WordPress app. It’s been too long since I’ve messed with technical stuff;…

Password123

A security analyst working for the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) provided guidance back in 2003 that was used as the basis for a lot of security policies. His guidance was that passwords should be complex (special characters,…

Going backwards

I think I was in 7th grade when I first heard Depeche Mode. Up until that point, I didn’t really have my own musical identity. I pretty much listened to what my dad listened to. I enjoyed it, but it…

Coulrophobia

Coulrophobia [kool-ruh–foh-bee-uh] noun 1. an abnormal fear of clowns ex. I don’t get how anybody could have coulrophobia after listening to Puddles sing with his golden voice.

Well … maybe

Bottom line is that I want to blog again. However, I need to find the right platform, venue, URL, etc. I’m trying out “Ghost” and don’t mind it. I need to play with it a bit more though. I used…
