Guardians of the Galaxy: Worth Seeing
The Marvelverse hits 10 with its winning streak. Will Avengers: Age of Ultron get them to 11? What’s next to get them to 12 in order to take the trophy away from Pixar. Being both Disney “hotels” on the Monopoly board, the Mouse just … Continue reading
RIP Robin Williams
It has been a busy, busy week yet I really wanted to reflect on Robin’s suicide after more thought. The event was a horrible shock and in other ways it wasn’t. Being someone who has also struggled with Depression (I’m managing … Continue reading
Future Cities Quiz
See if you can ace it. I got a measly 9 out of 10. As always, this quiz is courtesy of The Guardian. Click here.
Happy 15th Birthday Hunter!
The nephew I’ve spent the most time celebrates his day right before he leaves the States to go back to his new home (as of last Fall) of Qatar. Hunter and his family were here for about a month too. … Continue reading
OH! MY! GLOB! Light a match would you! It’s burning my lumps
The new, well, the first, design on my comic-book store’s bathroom door. I myself have issued a few edicts from here.
KMAG (v. 3) turns 12
It’s late…as always, but I wanted to celebrate the milestone for my personal thing of tunes or the closest I’ll ever have to a radio station. QuickTime Streaming Server may have been put out to pasture in 2011 yet I have … Continue reading
1974: Tricky Dick resigns in disgrace
I can always remember this date because it’s also my dad’s birthday, what a gift he received! The overrated Princess Diana wedding happened on mine in 1981, I will never understand Americans’ obsession with a foreign royal family when we have our … Continue reading
I’ve ditched Dropbox for Spideroak
Unless you’ve been under a rock for the last couple years, cloud computing has been the overhyped rage. Sure it’s a nice back-up and way to have your stuff on hand through multiple devices…until the big fat EMP we’ll probably … Continue reading
First try!
Inspired by the jokes from the How it Should Have Ended episode of the Lego Movie, I had to have this shirt as a tribute to Batman’s 75th birthday and a counterpart to Adam West’s goofy antics.
Congratulations Becky Hammon!
Winning a fifth NBA title wasn’t enough for the Spurs! They’ve finally helped the sport break the gender barrier by bringing aboard a lady assistant coach who was no slouch as a player herself. I was puzzled over the picture … Continue reading
The Maggi Republic is now in the Black (or Green)!
For the first time in 13 years with me personally but it’s the absolute first time since Somara and I officially consolidated our money, hence what I call the new constitution to form the Third Maggi Republic. The First is … Continue reading
The Universe going my way a little
Despite all the annoyances I’m dealing with at work and home, I was rewarded for filling up my Prius before bed time. I found a 20 on the ground. Still good since the gasoline it absorbed didn’t destroy it. Going … Continue reading
This tribute isn’t overdone but it might be dry
Much to my wife’s annoyance, Bob’s Burgers has lately become a favorite show on Netflix (we don’t have cable or bother with broadcast). Fear not, nothing has been pushed aside, Bob’s has just joined the lengthy list. As it approaches its upcoming fifth … Continue reading
