I really like being outside on cold, quiet, overcast late-November afternoons around 4:00 when the whole sky is that flat, deep, unsaturated blue that tints all the dormant grass and the leafless trees.

 

nailed it .....oh and sunsets are equally phenomenal thanks

After years of telling myself I'd start playing around with Linux more at home, I've finally done it. Went headfirst into an Arch Linux install on a 2015 MacBook Air, and it was a rewarding as it was difficult.

Snagged a cheap small formfactor Dell OptiPlex 3020 from the local Goodwill Electronics store and threw the latest version of Mint on it to run 24/7 as a Minecraft server.

If it weren't for a few games that can't be run through Wine, Lutris, etc., as well as my Adobe and CAD software that I like, I'd jump from Windows entirely.

Laughing at this mental image somebody had of a dude with Pit Vipers and an IROC. Realized I have Heat Waves and a GTA. I'm like alternate dimense "that guy" apparently.

Well if you can't do something smart, at least do something cool.

That looks like you're trying to change the headlight bulbs in any modern car.

When my dad was living alone he told me this all the time.   

You can't eat popcorn for dinner!  

Then I found out he had a big lunch out at a restaurant so it was all good.

If you make the popcorn properly, you certainly can.  Shredded cheese, butter, salt/seasoning of choice, dried peas/veggies, bacon bits.

Naw, he was 80 years old and microwaved a bag.  

In his later years he got tired of cooking and his kitchen hygiene practices became questionable.

I am not buying the WRX because it is too rusty for Pete, even at $1200.

I don't generally have a drinking problem, but I sure as hell did on Friday night. Solo pub crawl within a block of my hotel. I remember leaving the last bar and flipping up Sabine's wipers before going inside, but I don't know which hotel entrance or stairway / elevator I used. I forced myself to puke twice before passing out on the bathroom floor, then woke up to puke a third time. Was miserable on the 5-hour drive home, although a bottle of full-fat chocolate milk helped get my stomach right before We got all the way home. Today my chest hurts from leaning against the toilet. So my PSA is:  Don't be that guy.

I just bought a small tachometer and a bunch of storage doodads from Summit so I wouldn't have to pay shipping for a $12 parking brake tool.  I mean, I'll use everything I bought, but, dang.

Holy E36 M3. I step away from web work for a couple years and wow I don't even recognize it anymore.

Friend called, hey so my old business partner stole all my stuff and put it in his website pretending to still be part of our business. Can you make it go away? Yea, lemme look a little bit. 

Maybe things are just different in Japan, but gone are the days of a handful of clicks and some typing to permanently forward a domain to another one.

I've been wanting a 245 and prefer white. I saw this at a customers house. Ran when parked two years ago. They told me to make an offer. My confession is that I didn't make an offer.

Living in Chicago and traveling to Detroit I estimate I've made close to 75 business trips and never once toured the Ford River Rouge plant until today.  What a cool place but similar to other automobile plants I've been in.  

I confessed this to a museum lady and her comment was that Mark Fields (2017 CEO) was in the area and never stopped in for 10 years.  (True?)

One highlight was watching a dude put on pillar trim and move his phone and watch a show all at the same time.  

I give people credit that can do this job for a 10 hour shift.  I'd definitely be smoking weed in my car at lunch.  Read the book Rivethead.

I've designed a handful of production lines and processes over the years and as part of that work I always made it a point to run each of the stations.  I've never made it a full shift.  If life was fair the production folks would make more money than I did designing the line.
