  • Just a short note about Cebu Pacific

    I was reminded tonight of something that happened about 20 years ago. My wife and I had booked a flight to the Philippines. Because we were traveling together, we naturally booked seats next to each other. I would think that’s pretty common. We booked the seats together on the same order, at the same time.…

  • Snails

    Snails are very slow. Here he comes slither slither. His trail is shiny. This haiku is brought to you by 10 year old me, published in a school booklet from Manor View Elementary (in Maryland I think) in the 1990-1991 school year. I was pretty creative back then. I even have some drawings of snails…

  • Amazing Graffiti Art in NYC

    Just some examples of great street art that I’ve seen in the city over the years. The first image may actually be from El Paso, Texas in 2005 though. I can’t remember for sure.

  • One of the best quotes of all time

    The sky above the port was the color of television, tuned to a dead channel. William Gibson, “Neuromancer“

  • Antsy

    You ever get antsy and want to switch things up just for the sake of switching things up? I’m not talking about FOMO, really. I’m sure for some people that pushes decisions. I’m talking more about when you get comfortable and everything is just working the way it should but you start feeling anxious and…

  • Hell Gate Bridge and Astoria Generating Co., as seen from Randall’s Island

    New York City, 2018. This place has such an interesting name. “Hell Gate Bridge” makes me want to dive into the history of this location, because it sounds so dramatic. So, why not? Let’s see what WordPress’s AI has to say about it. I’ve never used it before and this seems like a good opportunity…

  • Battlefield 6 corner camping on Breakthrough

    I managed to accomplish more with this than I expected. Normally I would just run to the next sector and get mowed down on the way there. Fun game. It has some serious flaws that I hope get worked out.

  • Government shutdown and the MWR – Fort Hamilton

    With the government shutdown stretching into its third week, government employees on a bi-weekly pay schedule received their last paycheck this past Thursday. It was an abbreviated paycheck as well, for only 56 hours instead of a regular 80 hours, because 24 hours of the pay period were in the new fiscal year. Active duty…

  • Short update

    I haven’t really posted much or regularly for quite a while and I think it’s not so much for lack of interest, but lack of time and that spark of creativity. Working full time, long commutes, and trying to do errands and fulfill other responsibilities on the weekends is time consuming and draining and it…

  • A few thoughts on the new season of Andor

    It was intresting to me that Disney released three episodes up front, but I think it might have been symbolic of the three storylines that were being told, and it seemed like Cassian’s storyline was unnecessarly drawn out to fit into the 3×3 structure they created. His whole ‘adventure’ on the planet was sort of…
