Seriously trivial thoughts
How could we resist going to the Black Forest Festival since it’s literally right up the street from our place? So happy Roxanne, Andrew and Jeffrey joined us. We got there early so we got to the pancake breakfast before the big crowds and got an excellent parking spot. Check out the last picture to …
Rampart Reservoir is about an hour and 15 minutes from my new home in Colorado Springs. Kimberly and I had a picnic on some of the large rocks on the shore. It’s been a while since I’ve taken some landscapes, so I brought my trusty Nikon D750. I really prefer it’s colors for landscapes over …
I’ve been intrigued by the idea of remoting into a cloud-based computer for years. Historically, it’s been expensive and the machines were limited in CPU power, RAM and storage. A french company called Blade is changing this with their Shadow service. For $35 a month, you get remote access to an Intel Xeon processor with …
I just love unexplainable car videos. I always wish there was a camera inside the car so I could understand what was going through the driver’s mind, but sadly this is never the case.
A thought-provoking article on how technology has negatively impacted humanity in a profound manner. I have often surmised that the effect is much worse on children raised on technology as their minds physically grow and mature with such harmful artificial stimuli. “…our constant engagement with technology interferes with the pursuit of other behaviors critical for …

I am definitely going to read “Valley of Genius: The Uncensored History of Silicon Valley (As Told by the Hackers, Founders, and Freaks Who Made …
With a gratuitous nod to Brian May and Queen, here’s the 25-guitar version of the Star Spangled Banner. Prolly could have added just a little more stuff to the arrangement, but it’s pretty good.
I for one am excited that this topic is at least on someone’s radar. It’s been one of my pet peeves for a long time. Perhaps if the EU does away with daylight savings time, the US will follow suit or at least discuss. BTW I sent a tweet to the President on this, but …
I guess it comes from my fascination with time travel that I find stuff like this so interesting. It’s kind of like burying a time capsule, but I suppose more likely to be found. I have a chance to do this myself as I’m adding some build-in cabinets in the room I use as an …
I just moved to Colorado Springs and have a brand-new sodded lawn. Obviously, I wanted to make sure I cared for it properly. My research found that the basic steps are: you water the heck out of it the first two weeks; dry it out and mow; cut back the watering the third week; and …
