Seriously trivial thoughts
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 …
Interesting article discussing the origins of Atari. I remember bringing home my Pong game console purchased from Sears where I worked and playing it with my brother James all night. 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 …

She was out there to help with the Spartan Race in Big Bear, conveniently, right near my home in Lake Arrowhead. I was totally unprepared …
A friend of Kimberly’s had one of these babys on their home and I had to take a couple photos. It’s a yellow garden orb-weaver. Supposedly not poisonous, but the sheer size is enough to frighten you to death! The whole thing was probably 3+ inches big.
On our way back from the Block Creek B&B, we had to stop at Blackbird Antiques in Comfort, TX to visit Karen Frias, the owner, and her pugs. She always has interesting antiques, home decor, bedding and other treasures. Sadly her original pugs, Molly, Hudson and Eddie, have all passed on, but there’s a new …
Kimberly and I took a spur of the moment trip to the Block Creek Bed and Breakfast located half way between Fredericksburg and Comfort, TX. I didn’t think I would be able to find anything at the last minute, but the gods were with us and this gem just kinda popped-up. The reviews were all …
