Hey popping in here. Is twitter still a thing? My app opened to the “for you” tab and I was very scared. Thank god for “following”. Seems like a lot of you are still around talking about fun stuff.


Driving to the ski hill this morning. Someone turned the draw distance way down. Felt like I was playing Magic Carpet!

So my basement t flooded New Year’s Eve. Got repairs done yesterday and a crew came in to pull all the wet flooring etc. set up a ton of industrial blowers and dehumidifiers. You know how they say you eventually block out white noise? You don’t when it’s this loud. I’m tired…


Wow, haven't been on here in awhile. The UI has become much more...sales-ey.


ITX boards are so damned cute.

At least Reddit waited for my anniversary to go nuts. Between this and twitter lately I’m running out of places to post about inane things that don’t matter.

Spent some time up keeping the ol’ 6700k gaming rig. One of the intake fans was grinding and the audio line in wasn’t quite working. Swapped out the fan and finally got audio from the line in again which means I can hear my Roland devices again!

UMChild loves Pokémon but is having some issues getting the hang of the switch’s analog sticks. As an experiment I pulled this bad boy out of the closet and loaded up Pokémon Sun. She’s killing it now with the slightly simpler control scheme.

So I just deleted my iPhone dictionary for the first time in 15 years, let's hope that results in less insane autocorrects. I blame using text to speech to create Star Wars novel summaries back in the @swstacksshow days.
