Posted on November 1, 2019 by Steve

Yeah, yeah. Still running late on everything due to all the distractions in my life. Many of which are fun but I do hope to have the opportunity to bring more of this site up to speed as Daylight Savings Time … Continue reading →

Behind on timeliness…again

Posted on October 11, 2019 by Steve

Profuse apologies again. I got sidetracked by life, the divorce and just general fatigue. Now I’m beating down another cold thanks to the temperature plummeting 10° C (2o° F) over last weekend. Thus, I contract a sore throat and fever. … Continue reading →

October’s usual festivities are suspended for 2019

Posted on October 1, 2019 by Steve

I often look forward to celebrating three of the biggest things happening October which aren’t Halloween: Italian Heritage, Pizza and a silly thing FM AOR stations invented called Rocktober, a new story idea I wanted to cover, more on it … Continue reading →

1.5 Million Words!

Posted on September 25, 2019 by Steve

It’s a long way to two million words at the rate I’m going but thanks to my long navel-gazing piece about Mission Hill, I hit the million-and-a-half mark! It took over 14 years yet I found this worth every step of … Continue reading →

New month, new art and update

Posted on September 1, 2019 by Steve

The divorce is slowly progressing as Somara is moving her stuff out. Kuroneko was relocated last week, going to miss that little butterball. We haven’t figured out what’s going to be divided yet nor who gets to keep exactly what … Continue reading →

Overcoming another round of the ‘fuckits’

Posted on July 19, 2019 by Steve

Believe it or not, I didn’t coin this word, it came from my therapist. I still get taken aback when she drops an F bomb but she was on the money when I went “on strike” with the world last … Continue reading →

Welcome to July with a shift in timeliness

Posted on July 1, 2019 by Steve

For the last couple months I have been digging out slowly while sticking mostly to the chronological series of events with the exception of keeping the header art, color scheme and my exercise progression updated. Given the events of last … Continue reading →

Welcome to June, Greedo ordered first!

Posted on June 1, 2019 by Steve

I decided to go with a joke picture I found on the Internet adding to the big stink that happened on Game of Thrones, an HBO water-cooler conversation maker I have never seen. I’m not against it, I just have way … Continue reading →

1979: Voyagers arrive at Jupiter

Posted on May 1, 2019 by Steve

Can’t remember what my source was saying that either Voyager 1 or 2 arrived at their first destination around May but one go there in January, the other in July so I’ll just accept May as the compromise, hence this month’s header art! … Continue reading →

Five thousand posts!

Posted on April 6, 2019 by Steve

Well that kind of snuck up on me. I wish I could’ve timed it better to coincide with a better life event such as my 20th anniversary as an official Apple employee (next week) or something more worthy (wedding, birthday). … Continue reading →

April is here with a new header!

Posted on April 1, 2019 by Steve

On this day 30 years ago, the Internet as we recognize it got rolling with the implementation of the World Wide Web. Today it’s rather ubiquitous and only elderly people bother to put the three Ws or ‘http://’ in front … Continue reading →

1994: Arriving in Austin for the first time and 25 years!

Posted on February 3, 2019 by Steve

Holy crap! Twenty-five years have just blitzed by already but at least this time, another quarter century of my life has been more under my control and somewhere I want to be unlike the hellholes the parents dragged me to. … Continue reading →

Header change was needed

Posted on January 6, 2019 by Steve

I went with this snapshot of the landscape from Idiocracy as a tribute to the current Federal Government shutdown being caused by the Shitgibbon’s stubbornness. He wants to be true to his racist base despite walls not working, ask the Chinese … Continue reading →

Posted on December 31, 2018 by Steve

I made all the changes for next month/year today because we will be attending a party held by really nice friends tonight. When I wake up on New Year’s Day is anyone’s guess as I try to get my sleep … Continue reading →

Finally, something new after several weeks

Posted on December 20, 2018 by Steve

The last thing I posted was Somara’s return from her vacation abroad (Netherlands, Qatar). Besides candy, pictures and memories, she brought back bronchitis thanks to a discourteous traveller on the flight to London, not from, to. Thus, her trip was … Continue reading →
