In the previous post, should you have been so unfortunate as to have read it, you saw that I had gotten a Bencher BY-2 Chrome Iambic Paddle set. Very exciting. …to a very niche market, of which I am a member. Way back in the early days of my Ham Radio avocation, most of the… Continue reading Dits and Dahs and Ants in my Pants

CW For The Aging Brain
I’ve been a Licenced Amateur Radio Operator since Spring of ’92, but in those early years, I was more into local VHF than the long-distance HF stuff (what non-hams call “Shortwave”). And even when I did dabble on HF, I had only studied Morse Code enough to pass the 5wpm requirement at that time. Mere… Continue reading CW For The Aging Brain
The 90s In The 80s
…but only just barely, if I’m remembering correctly. I would guess it was about 1989. But first, some background. Suburban Swedish Baptist OK, so there’s Conservative, and then there’s Conservative Baptist, and a bit beyond that, there’s Swedish Baptist. Combine with that an upper-middle-class suburb, wherein my elementary school had one person of color my… Continue reading The 90s In The 80s
Soundlazer VR – What It Is and Is Not
First Off: I Like It I have not yet figured out whether I will be able to use it for the purpose I had intended for it (which I will explain later). But for all the things it is and is not, I do indeed like the Soundlazer VR, and if I do manage to… Continue reading Soundlazer VR – What It Is and Is Not
Skyrim VR with Oculus Rift and Touch
As an interesting coincidence, and in a crappy mood because Dimwit Drumpf just won’t shut up and die already, I decided a few days ago to fire up Skyrim so I could wander around, be nice to Villagers, do a favor for a Jarl, kill some Bandits, and forget for a short while what utter… Continue reading Skyrim VR with Oculus Rift and Touch
Welcome To The U.S. of A.
…or… Why I Miss John Pinette It was a minor cluster-f%@& at the McDonald’s drive-thru this morning. I try to avoid getting breakfast at McDonald’s, but I knew I was out of granola at work, and wouldn’t be going to the grocery store until tonight at the earliest. So I made sure I had a… Continue reading Welcome To The U.S. of A.
A Man Of Extremes
In some ways, I’m very difficult to peg. Every time I’ve taken the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator® test, I find myself recognizing when a particular question is trying to ascertain whether I am Introverted or Extroverted. And every time, I try to go with the first situation that pops into my head, but I immediately think of… Continue reading A Man Of Extremes
It’s Your Lucky Day, Sir
The freeway this morning was a little wet, but that has not typically caused a noticeable change in traffic speeds. Up near County Road J where I-35E Southbound is still only 2 lanes, it tends to be going around 79mph (posted: 70) at 6:15am M-F. Today, it was 72-ish, with more flickering of brake lights… Continue reading It’s Your Lucky Day, Sir
MyKronoz ZeTime is a Whiny Bitch
I guess I haven’t much of anything to add to that.
MyKronoz ZeTime Review
I was backer 12643 on the KickStarter of ZeTime back on April 15, 2017 (boy howdy, it seemed like so much longer ago, but maybe that’s because I’ve received several Kickstarter rewards this year which were soooooo laaaaaate as compared to their initial estimates). Over that span of 6.5 months there were 36 updates. That’s… Continue reading MyKronoz ZeTime Review
