The Dishwasher

It sits there in my kitchen. Generally not full enough to run, but full enough that I should consider running it. I’ve used one consistently for the last six years and it’s the first time that I’ve really thought about it.  I never really used the dishwasher until I got this place.
I had [...]

Konstructenlust

It builds, slowly.  It could be anything.  A stutter in framerate.  A texture tear.  Just the feeling that things could look better when I’m shooting Skaggs in the wilds of Pandora.  (Yep.  Still playing Borderlands.)  So I think about my current setup, and I have to wonder if there’s anything else I can do, other [...]

My Other, Other Eye

Solio H1000

Additionally, I managed to pick up enough tips and combined with the iGo USB charging cable, I’ve got almost all of my on the go charging needs [...]

The Future

Honestly, when I was but a young lad, carefree and winning spelling bees every year in grade school from first to eighth grade, I never once imagined that I’d have a robot of my very own to vaccuum the house for me.
Now that I have one, I never thought I’d be wrapping socks around the [...]
