D&D weapons of war part one
In preparation for D&D’s upcoming campaign involving Avernus, one of the nine planes of Hell, the minis people created this helltank which is really an armored personnel carrier (APC). But who cares! It’s awesome. It’s covered in spikes. Metallic all … Continue reading
According the LEGO Store, that’s me
Now, when you go to a physical LEGO Store there is a special kiosk in which you place down your palm and it will tell you which minifigure you are. I was really hoping for Benny, Lucy or the Pizza … Continue reading
Once Upon a Time…: Overrated but Worth Seeing
Tarantino returns to the 20th Century with his love letter to the “golden days” of Hollywood as the inevitable Manson murders lurk around in the backdrop. The core story involves aging Western/Action movie star Rick Dalton and his stuntman caretaker … Continue reading
It’s all up to the lawyers now
How appropriate on the anniversary of 9/11, the day Americans lost more of their freedom and civil rights. Plus the country continues to piss away billions on its 18 years of futile wars against whack-a-mole enemies. Somara and I tried … Continue reading
RIP Daniel Johnston
Local music hero Daniel Johnston passed away yesterday. Most of you all who don’t live around Austin are probably asking, “who?” I’ll go with the easiest answer. You may remember Kurt Cobain wearing a shirt with this weird frog on … Continue reading

Woo hoo! LDL is lower
This morning, I went in for my six-month checkup to see how I’m doing after that big, tow-hour physical examination. It was mainly a blood draw which contained fantastic news. Well, the news that seemed to matter to the doctor. … Continue reading
KMAG is back!
Shortly around KMAG’s 17th anniversary, its ten-year home, a 2009 Mac Mini I bought mainly to host the stream and all the cool services Mac OS 10.6 Server used to have…crapped out. It only took me a week to ten … Continue reading
Honolulu Achieved!
Today was the fourth milestone via in-door bike! Given my intermittent illness of the fuckits, I’m amazed I completed this destination before year’s end given this leg being over 1300 miles. Complete it I did though. Mainly out of distraction … Continue reading
Eighteen years in one house!
This anniversary completely slipped my mind with all the other crap going on but three days late is better than either not at all or in several days. I often have to pinch myself because I didn’t grow up in … Continue reading
India’s Vikram lander loses contact
Saw the news via feeds and The Guardian, looks like India’s second attempt to land a probe on the Moon has failed. What a pisser! As much I am cautious about the country’s other ambitions, namely their saber-rattling with Pakistan over … Continue reading
The horrible Robert Mugabe is finally dead
Given this dictator’s murderous reputation, I’m surprised he died of old age, 95. Despite being dead, his inept, corrupt and crony-filled regime remains the shadow looming over the struggling democracy of South Africa. Originally hailed as a liberator when he … Continue reading
Inspirational socks!
Picked these up at Waterloo Records. The first pair had a unicorn, therefore I had to get them for my friend Rev. Kathy R, that’s her spirit animal. Now the other pair were for me. I’m not feeling pessimistic nor … Continue reading
RIP Terrence Dicks
If you followed Doctor Who before the reboot (I won’t say I always did, it was usually an on/off thing because the show sort of disappeared for a while), you may recognize this gentleman’s name in the credits. I knew he … Continue reading
Here’s my cat being cute to bring some levity
Isis is coming to grips with being an only child around the house still. No more Kuroneko to bully her and bite her on the butt whenever she wants to lie on the bed. This is my kitty doing her … Continue reading
