A day off that was still exhausting! Xmas cards will be late!
Lately, my team has us taking turns with weekend shifts so in exchange, I get a weekday to tackle the crap I couldn’t realistically do on Saturday or Sunday, but why do I think I can take it easy. Oh … Continue reading
Finally deployed/migrated to my new M3!
Greetings from my new M3 MacBook Pro! It arrived mid last week which is pretty sweet given how Apple only announced their existence a fortnight ago (I don’t like to repeat if I can find a similar word). It lives … Continue reading
Welcome to November 2023!
I was really excited about this month’s Header because it’s the 60th anniversary of Josie and the Pussycats debuting as a comic book; ok, it was just called Josie and it was a lazy female version of Archie. The Pussycats shift … Continue reading

The most accurate and painful costume for 7 years running
She’s proving to be worse than Tricky Dick, especially when nobody wants her opinion on current events. And before all the knee-jerk accusations of misogynist, the standard play by the Blue MAGA; I also say the same things about Kissinger … Continue reading
Cars have “extra money” sensors!
The remainder of my RSU money pulled through this morning allowing me to buy a new portable! Oh this MacBook Air 2020 that took over as my primary for posting to Picayune and running my finances has been great, especially after … Continue reading
LEGO® proves it’s safer than Crypto!
The red parts of the diagram show how the value of LEGO sets have done over time versus some of the most valuable investments around. The key is patience, even with Star Wars and Harry Potter sets. On the upside, should the … Continue reading

RIP Dick Butkus
What a pisser! At least I got the opportunity to meet Dick in Las Vegas some years ago and best of all, get an autographed photo for my ex-roomie and great friend Paul! He was a class act the whole … Continue reading
Sorry it’s late but here’s Kaitlin’s 31 Days of Halloween ’23!
Kaitlin is a friend I see around Austin, often at comedy shows, some concerts and the two RenFaires we have! She and her husband are awesome! Every year, Kaitlin showcases a new costume every day of October. M.U.S.K.D.O.K. driving Twitter … Continue reading

I didn’t get either rotation/thingy
Before you go “Awww…” and whatever. It’s not that big of a deal. There’s the upside, namely making all the sweet, sweet overtime I can rake in during the Holiday periods coming up in the US. The one I really … Continue reading
Rot in Hell Diane Feinstein
Screw all those who say we should respect the recently dead, etc. This “pioneer” in the US Senate should be remembered for the same thing Bilary, Bummer and Barney Frank did. They proved that Non-White, Straight Men don’t have a … Continue reading
1993: Dazed n’ Confused debuts
I think this movie was supposed to make Richard Linklater a big deal but it tanked. For me it doesn’t help that its legacy was launching the overrated, insufferable self-proclaimed favorite son of Austin…Matthew McConaughey. Contrary to the myth, he … Continue reading

Darned front filling popped out
Normally this doesn’t happen when I eat ribs but as soon as my tongue discovered a new hole on my teeth, I was, crap! Not bad, the filling held for four years. My front teeth would be in better shape … Continue reading
Correcting George Will’s standard bullshit…
The answer according to the clairvoyant seer of the East…Karnac! Dust, spare change and George F. Will. Ripping open the envelope, and now the question. Name three things you’ll find under a rug. The Beltway Bullshitter who loves Baseball (his … Continue reading
Talk like a Pirate Day ’23!
I wish I had a real pirate hate but I settled for my trip-corner because they wore those too. Maybe I’ll do better next year.
Six hundred comments!
A nice landmark and it only took, what? 18 years. Such a great conversation starter my site is, that and you can blame the crap I post as I guess it just doesn’t interest nor enrage enough people. The latter … Continue reading →
