Edible Legos
This is a project for the near future but not until housesitting season is over and we’re home more.
Hope he drinks you first
That’s a joke reserved for those who are familiar with the common exclamations of the dark old one’s followers…who aren’t exactly sane.
The Black Knight became a DJ
My co-worker/friend Kathy is also a DJ through something I think she belongs to called Ambient Camping. Sorry, I’m ignorant of the whole thing. I just like tunes and I know some artists also take time to spin/mix stuff (Calvin … Continue reading
The Simpsons, the Evolution & History at ATX
You saw the shoes, now to cover the awesome event Aaron K and I attended. Our little rendezvous with TV and animation legends. I know better about next time, I signed up for the mailing list to get a jump … Continue reading

Stars get a new logo-look for 2015-16
It’s not a big surprise since the owner of the Dallas stars sealed the deal last season and often when the NHL parent owns its AHL franchise, they often make the two teams almost indiscernible. Dallas has chosen to do this … Continue reading

Week One: My Apple Watch
Contrary to the Web page saying it has an 18-hour lifespan between charges, I have managed to get close to two days per recharge. Going with the tap over the raising your wrist part helped. I also put it in … Continue reading
RIP Horst Brandstätter, key player behind Playmobil
Rough week at Picayune, my site turning into a dreadful obituary section which used to be the easy money for newspapers alongside the want ads. A friend brought up this news because I guess poor Mr. Brandstätter wasn’t that important or … Continue reading
RIP Christopher Lee
The consummate villain for sixty years and Ian Fleming’s cousin to boot! I had the good (or bad) fortune to see his work in the Hammer films as a kid. For some reason, WCIA-3 in Champaign, IL would have a … Continue reading

Daredevil
Once again Netflix proves that they are a better future for TV because Daredevil is an ongoing superhero/vigilante show done well. It’s a strong balance between being ridiculously gritty/hyper-violent (HBO, Showtime) and milquetoast (all the broadcast networks). An average episode is … Continue reading
Happy ninth anniversary Kelly & Ethan
A milestone for our California-based friends. Not like there was any doubt they’d get this far which is why I applauded their wedding/marriage. Ethan I’m sure was swamped for the interim, yesterday was WWDC, but now he better get a … Continue reading
RIP Nick Marsh of Flesh for Lulu
The sad news went down over the weekend while I was pre-occupied with getting through the remainder of my week. People in my age bracket may recall the band, but not the members. I’ll throw out a hint, Flesh for … Continue reading
Another shout-out on Nerd Poker
OK, OK, OK, I’m late regarding my shout out via Blaine which happened during the May 13 episode, #126 “Dick Spiders-Save,” the donors portion kicked in closer to the end this time. It was pretty funny with what he said … Continue reading
Day One: My Apple Watch
The timing was perfect! Somara and I received our watches on the same day despite my order being placed several weeks earlier. This gave us the opportunity to configure them together. The new 1.01 update was already in place. What … Continue reading
Funny parody of a post card
If you can’t laugh at yourself, what’s the point. Plus, I dislike those who only find the misfortunes of others funny. This would namely be Faux News watchers, conservatives, bro’s who still love Adam Sandler and sadly, my mother, based … Continue reading
My Simpsons Chucks with autographs!
It’s late and I figure few of you will want to read about the forum my friend Aaron and I attended for ATX Television Festival regarding the Evolution of the Simpsons. However, I managed to have the great fortune of … Continue reading
