At least I’m good at it


Why is it the holidays all come bunching up together? Isn’t someone smart enough to pick parts of the month or year lacking holidays, and fill in the gaps?

But I’m as much a slave to it as any other nature & wildlife, critical-thinking, 80s music blogger, and so we take the time to recognize that it’s Question The Value Of One’s Own Judgment Day, not read more

Ticking away

I’m sitting here reflecting on perspectives, somehow believing that something profound will be produced by it and yet not really finding anything that isn’t trite, and the reason for this is, this marks the end of the seventeenth year of the old blogoblob. Reaching the age of seventeen, personally I mean, seemed interminable, and now I’ve been posting for that read more

The technically challenged

Several days back I resolved to post the below image again today but, you know, didn’t bother to set it up ahead of time and schedule the post or anything. So now with just over two hours remaining I suddenly remember it, but at least I’m not late late.


Once again, Happy Holidays, Season’s Greetings, und so weiter.

Now I gotta get on tomorrow’s post…

Over to others

I’ve been busy as all-git-out recently, no time for much of anything else, especially blog-related, so I’m doing a quick hand-off to a couple of videos that fit well.

First off we have George Hrab, he of The Geologic Podcast over there on the sidebar or indeed right here, with, “I Don’t Believe in christmas,” read more

Pro tip 1

Is this going to be an ongoing thing? Don’t know yet. And bear in mind, when I say, “Pro,” I’m referring to myself here, who is decidedly not a professional, is not making any kind of scratch with this, and should not be referred to as an authority on anything…

That out of the way, here’s the tip:

If you’re planning on recording audio in your basement studio, read more

Estate Find XLVIII (IIL)

Sure, fine, this isn’t really in the spirit of the Estate Find posts, it doesn’t count much as a ‘find’ if I actively searched for it, and certainly wasn’t found here (“Oh, look what I just found in the mailbox!”) but need I remind you that it’s my blog that only I read anyway? Okay then.


But yes, I finally obtained something that I read more

Tastebuds are anxious

I don’t have to tell you that today is Harvest The First Of The Citrus From The Greenhouse Day, because I’m sure you’re already deeply involved in this yourself. We’ve been watching the lemons and the Key limes developing, wondering how many would be ready for the holiday – it wasn’t a huge haul, certainly not the bulk of what’s out there, read more

A question for the ages

We all know dreams can get pretty weird I know my strangest tend to come if I’m running a fever, or alternately if I took a dose of naproxen sodium (the drug behind Aleve) before retiring. Otherwise, most of my dreams now are fragmentary and generally very mundane, ordinary events that might occur during the day.

The other night was different, and one particular detail stands out to me. You read more

Without even trying

Today is National Grouch Day (no foolin’) and in the past, I’ve had a list of ways to participate, to which I will refer you since I’m almost certain that you haven’t yet tried them all, and coming up with new ideas that are not variations of the same things is read more

Follow not my lead

I’ve had the reminder popping up for over a week that today is International Podcast Day, and so I have for you… no podcast. Yes, yes, I can hear your sigh of relief from here. I’d strongly considered one, and had a couple of topics to talk about, but the time just wasn’t there to accomplish this. What I did accomplish was important, though, and more people read more
