Yesterday at the Meat Packer was fine. The CFO had asked when I was coming in next last week, as he'd gotten me a Christmas gift. The first time such a thing has occurred. When I got there it was sitting on the rack in the server room. A Trump rubber duck for the Jeep. I had always had suspicions about his politics, and figured he must have seen ( Read more... )

Last night I happened upon this YouTube channel where this guy made "ambiance" videos (among other content) using the incidental, background music from the original Scooby-Doo TV shows. I found something immensely enjoyable and almost calming about listening to it. The music pieces themselves are not long, but the guy looped them over and over so ( Read more... )

This week has just been brutal. My inbox has been blowing up left and right with emails from all these people wanting something or another from me. People responding to emails I sent days ago. I had a conference call with this guy from the company who bought the Meat Packer talking about VPN tunnels and their whole software upgrade (I am just going ( Read more... )

Years ago I used to go to this friend's house for game nights and we'd often play the Spartacus board game. I always loved it, but didn't purchase the game at the time. Comically, because I didn't know any other people who would play it other than the ones who already had it. And, frankly, I was broke at the time and couldn't afford the game and it ( Read more... )

I've been watching documentaries on the history of horror films which has prompted me to think about when it was that I developed and appeal for the genre. I can say as a young child I was easily frightened by the slasher genre of the late 70s and early 80s ( Read more... )

I watched a documentary earlier about the Atari 2600. Specifically the E.T. game that came out in 1982. It was interesting and flushed me over with nostalgia. I went online afterward and looked up old games ( Read more... )
