Autism and the Internet
I have a pet peeve about poorly cropped and framed memes. The above meme took me about ten minutes to clean off the black and white lines all over it. This just looks much better than the original to me. You can still spot the places I’ve touched up if you had the original image,…

Garbage in the Lawn
I walked the property today. There was a lot more trash than usual. It was mostly wrappers and scrap paper but there was also a piece of shingle. That was a little worrisome. There’s no certainty that it came from our house. Hopefully it didn’t. The neighbors behind us had work done on the roof…

Missing Art
In my habit tracking app Habitica I have a daily task to do one piece of digital art. I missed that goal yesterday. I had a streak of about 350 and fifty days. I’m at zero again. In practice hitting the goal every day meant that I occasionally rushed out one piece of crappy art…

Monster Rancher 2
In the late nineties we had a PlayStation. There was and is a game called Monster Rancher 2. Stephanie and I played it relentlessly when she was pregnant with our middle child.

I tried Ground News but it’s just a liberal aggregation site to make liberals feel like they see both sides of the story while reinforcing their preexisting biases. It’s sketchy but it’s legal. The VPN (virtual…

Video Games and Laundry
My oldest son came over this morning to hook up his PlayStation to our TV because he broke his. His little brother doesn’t like the TV on at all most of the time. They did not come to blows over it this time. So he played Skyrim while his brother and I watched. After that…

11%
I am running the battery of my phone to zero. I have been assured that this is good for both the life of the phone and the life of the battery. I however have to be careful how I do this as early in the night as it is. You see, and I’ve probably told…

Walking to the Store
My youngest was very specific in his requests today. He wanted a bath and a walk to the convenience store down the street. The trip is kind of expensive so we can’t do it every day. But we did it today. If you’ve been following for very long you know that we live in Wisconsin.…
