The Orville
After three episodes, I have to say I’m firmly in the camp of enjoying The Orville. It’s basically an unapologetic love letter to the Trek universe with modern updates and a slightly raunchier humor. Continue reading The Orville
Lidl appeal
So I decided to drop by the new Lidl grocery that is near work. Have heard of the brand and mostly good stuff about them so I figured I’d give them a shot. It was a mixed bag. Continue reading Lidl appeal
Privacy
I realize that by now, everyone probably has my information already because of the many different breaches out there that seem to happen every day, but still I have to at least try to protect my identity right? Continue reading Privacy
New Class Fun
This semester should be jam-packed. I have my normal Friday classes, my job as interim director, and an extra class on MW that I haven’t taught before. I think I have a good handle on what it will be, but it’s always better when I have a few classes under my belt. At this point, I’ve done the intro class and we start the real stuff next class, where the learning hopefully starts.
Mix CD 4 – Homey is where the Heart is at
Sometimes, I look back at young me and just shake my head at my idea of clever names.
Solar Eclipse
Today, there happens to be a total eclipse over North America meaning I have a good chance at seeing it occur for what is a “once-in-a-lifetime” event. Supposedly the last time this occurred was in 1776, which was a momentous year. Will this year be as big a deal? I do know that this time around, disc jockeys on the radio are getting great play out of sun related songs like “staring at the sun” and they feel awfully clever about it. Although I guess if I was on the air in college and something like this occurred, i’d probably have my own solar eclipse playlist so I can’t chastise them for it.
Abandoned Links
I was looking through the database from my old site because of an email I got as I detailed in the previous post and got interersted in what was in there and how to get it on this site. Using some excel skills I tweaked the various tables and got a condensed sheet of all the old posts, all 6832 of them… Continue reading Abandoned Links
The lengths one will go for a sale…
I recently got several emails from a company selling desks online, persistently trying to get my attention, because supposedly I wrote about their desk on my website at one point. They want me to sign up as an affiliate to help sell their desks. I tried the link they provided that was supposedly from my mention, but it didn’t resolve. Seems sketchy right?

Great comedic timing…
I was browsing some forums and these were the top two threads… what great timing.
