Seems like every few months I have something happen with this site that makes me have to either nuke a feature, or go into some kind of emergency “find an old version and throw it on the server” moment. Previously, an update to my podcast management software of choice wound up no longer working with […]
Ever since I was a child, I absolute adored space, both the idea of the place, the planets, moons, stars, and other things out there, and the exploration of it – rockets, missiles, men on the Moon, I couldn’t get enough of it! I’ve been learning what I can about these subjects for literally as […]
Cutting straight to the point, I’m somewhat burnt out right now – namely, with regards to SpaceX, space subjects in general, and a few other things. Reading comment after comment on the SpaceX front has certainly been a chore, having to see them mentioned in every single space related subject ever is itself quite annoying, […]
In case you missed it, Saturday, September 23rd was the end of the world! Not that you could tell by the fact that not a single thing has changed at all. Oh, wait, I’m sorry, it looks like the nut job who predicted doomsday has gone back on it, instead now saying that Saturday was […]
At the time of this articles publication, the Cassini spacecraft should no longer exist – at this point in time it should have vaporized in the atmosphere of Saturn, the planet it was built to study and always destined to be a part of. This is happening quite early in my time zone – a […]
As long term readers are aware, one of my hobbies is hitting thrift stores, antique malls, and other such places and seeing what all I can find that may be of use, interesting, or otherwise something I’d want. The past few months have been somewhat dry beyond the usual odds and ends, but back on […]
If there is one thing that I just can’t stand, it’s conspiracy theories. More over, conspiracy theories relating to a certain event 16 years ago today; an event that is better documented than most anything that had happened before, or in many cases, since then. September 11th, 2001. Oh yes, for pretty much every year […]
So, after many many delays, I got the Melcor 390 calculator fixed. Oh, it was an absolute joy to get done soldering the capacitor in and finally seeing the LED’s fire up with “EEE1” and other garbage data, as this little calculator does when it’s first powered up. If you don’t know what I’m talking […]
Oh, hi! It’s been a little while, hasn’t it? Yeah, it has – About 4 or 5 days that I just decided to go do something else for a while? Why? Well, the opportunity came up, so I decided “let’s do it!” Some time away with minimal network connectivity. Yeah, I could well have written […]
I seriously wish I was joking about this one. I really do. Yes, this is a serious article, and one that has been delayed by something like 3 weeks now, mostly thanks to the MLGW Hoax earlier in the month; I never did write about this while it was fresh, and by the time I […]
Anyone who attempt at least some kind of regular content creation has certainly run into the issue of simply having too much to publish, and running into a backlog. Hell, I’ve had to just abandon some planned posts thanks to them running so far behind that I just never bothered to actually write and publish […]
I discussed earlier today the absolute stupidity of an event that happened here in Memphis where people actually thought that Grizzlies player Zach Randolph was paying off people’s MLGW utility bills if they paid on the convenience store kiosk’s today , something that you would think no one would treat seriously, but, in typical Memphis […]
I’m still trying to get all the details on this one, but I think I have enough to be able to write about this accurately enough, so let’s get to it: It would seem today that, for whatever reason, an error in the bill payment kiosk’s for Memphis Light, Gas, and Water (MLGW) would “not […]
So, right now, an event I used to go to every year, Anime Blues Con, is happening here in Memphis. It’s, as the name suggests, and anime convention, and it’s been in previous years something I’ve looked forward to since learning about it in early 2011 – I would first attend the convention in 2012 […]
