    Christmas is over and a new year is fast upon me. Some people take time to reflect. I am doing that. Some people plan how a different year is going to make them a different person. I am not doing that. I’m pretty content. I’d like a better way to sell my art. I’d like…

  • Why am I here?

    In the grand scheme of things I do not know why I am in exactly the right place and time. I mean I’m needed, useful, and happy. I’m also an unrepentant sinner by anyone’s version of such a thing.

  • On the floor

    Our youngest son is sitting on the kitchen floor and eating his chicken nuggets. This is odd behavior even for him. He usually sits at the table or on the couch. Stephanie asked him why he was sitting on the floor but he didn’t answer her. I asked him if he was a goof. He…

  • Done Good

    Today I did a good deed. I hope you have too. I’ll leave both to your imagination. I’ve played on Steam, had a Mexican Coke and a Japanese Sprite. I pushed out another piece of trashy digital art. I’m blogging right now. I read scripture in German and listened to hymns in English with the…

  • 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. If you’ve never played it, it had a peculiar gimmick. The PlayStation would read CDs and CD-ROMs to generate a monster. Some CDs…

  • Christmas Snow

    We got our first real snow of the winter and just in time for Christmas. I don’t know if it’ll last five days but what we got has stuck so far. Of course that means I had to shovel. It wasn’t very thick but it seemed like someone rode over the unshovelled sidewalk on a…

  • VPN and Copyright

    I watch too much YouTube. Most of the new quality content has sponsors. Some of the sponsors are awful. 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…

  • Desk Lamp

    Stephanie and I took the boys to Target for Christmas. I got a desk lamp and have effectively lit my keyboard.

  • 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…
