Perspective is interesting
I was reflecting tonight… When I was 18 years old, I was working at Metal Forge in Albemarle, NC. It was 1993, and this was a good job. I made auto parts for the Ford Taurus, on a special line that was hard to qualify for. I made $12.50 or so an hour, with overtime […]
Best Housewarming Gift EVER
Posted by llt in Automotive, Review, Uncategorized on May 23, 2015
Been quite some time since the last post, mostly because life has been a mess. Since my last post, I joined an Improv comedy class and had my first show (a warm hi to all my fellow improvers at Bay Area Acting Studio), planned for and moved completely across the country (from Silicon Valley to […]
A FB friend asked me to read one of Food Babe’s posts before discounting her–This is the result
In a conversation on Facebook, I was asked to read a post or two from Food Babe before categorically dismissing her. Since I’ve only really read snippets here and there before, I decided to drop my defenses a little and read one of her posts, but to actually look up all of the claims she […]
In Praise of the Roguelike
Posted by in Computing on November 17, 2014
For the last few years, I’ve developed a new love in regards to video games, which is weird for a guy who has been playing video games pretty consistently for over 30 years. However, I recently ‘discovered’ one of first types of games, in fact the precursor to the standard CRPG: Roguelikes. What makes a roguelike isn’t […]
T-Mobile vs. AT&T–A Cross-Country Comparison
Posted by in Review on November 12, 2014
So, in our cross-country trip, one of the things we did while resting in NC was switch phone carriers, from AT&T to T-Mobile. My reasons for doing this were quite simple, and come down to a combination of idealism, frugality, and vengeance. On the idealism front, I really like the ‘uncarrier’ theme T-Mobile is going […]

Well, this has taken a good bit longer than I expected, but here it is none-the-less: A list of the various things I learned from driving cross-country twice. In no particular order, here goes: I have it on good authority that the combination of a Valentine One, Waze, and a functioning Mk I Eyeball (and […]
A Few Words on Political Correctness
Posted by in Uncategorized on November 6, 2014
Earlier today, I saw something posted on Facebook that got me thinking. It was this image, and it’s definitely worth checking out. I have a few different thoughts on this subject, but more importantly, it got me thinking about Political Correctness. First, however, let me address the message in the image. First, I think objectification […]
The Truth about your contribution to Climate Change
Posted by in Science on September 10, 2014
I’ve got something that bugs me literally every time I see a post idolizing Elon Musk for doing something green or praising some idiotic law, and it’s simply this: 98% of all of this effort is for nothing. I’m not being pedantic, or speaking from emotion here; I’ve run the numbers, and what we are […]
Chasing the Sun–East to West Cross-Country Road Trip, Day 8
Posted by in Automotive on August 10, 2014
We got an early start on our last day, leaving the hotel in Vegas at 8:30 AM. Our first stop of the morning was Bonanza Gifts, which is the world’s largest gift shop. We stopped by here partially because I wanted to see how much useless junk was packed into the world’s largest gift shop, […]
