  • Liberal elites and “right-wing populists”

    “I think right-wing populists hate the ‘liberal elite’ more than economic elites because they’ve grabbed all the jobs where you get paid to do something that isn’t just for the money – the pursuit of art, or truth, or charity”, notes David Graeber, an anthropologist whose ideas helped shape the Occupy movement. “All they can…

  • An old missing cat poster I created in Singapore

    We were looking through old photos on my wife’s old laptop a few days ago and we found this poster that I made when we lived in Singapore. 10 years ago, I posted this missing cat poster around Pasir Ris in Singapore. We had been feeding this cat below an HDB there for a few…

  • What an official absentee ballot for Bronx County, US looked like for the Nov 2020 General Election

    Just in case anyone was curious, this is what an official absentee military ballot looked like for residents of Bronx County, New York City, for the 2020 general election. I wound up not using it. I went to the polling station and voted in person. I was doing some house cleaning, found it, and thought…

  • Birthday Card from NYC Relief – a volunteer service organization

    I received this card from the people at New York City Relief for my birthday. It was a nice gesture that I appreciated. New York City Relief is an organization that tries to connect people in need with essential services. I spent some time volunteering with them in late 2019 and early 2020, before the…

  • Trying out Fallout 76

    I got burned out playing Destiny 2. I hit the wall when they had the power weapons requirement as part of the last Iron Banner quest. It forces people to abandon the game mode and fight over a power weapon ammo spawn that happens once every few minutes instead, 3-4 times a match, tops. It…

  • Sugar, sugar

    I remember watching this as a kid. In “The Big Bang Theory”, the guys always make fun of Archie comics but I don’t really remember much about them anymore except that they used to be on the shelf by the registers in grocery stores. If I can find some older comics for free I guess…

  • …a little ward of God

    “Sylvia bent, half curiously, half tenderly, over a small green lizard, murmuring: “To think that this also is a little ward of God!”” The King in Yellow

  • Google Stadia test run with Destiny 2

    At this point, the challenges of finding gaming hardware is pretty common knowledge, whether it be consoles or graphics cards. Last year, people were having issues finding the Nintendo Switch in stock. Now, you can’t find an Xbox Series X or PS5 to save your life. A graphics card either. At least, not at MSRP.…

  • “If Man-Bat dressed up as a man to fight crime, would he be Man-Batman?”

    “The Big Bang Theory” Season 9, episode 21. In the comic book store: Sheldon: I have a question about Batman. Batman is a man who dresses up like a bat. Man-bat is a part man, part bat hybrid. Now, if Man-Bat dressed up as a man to fight crime, would he be Man-Batman? Leonard: No,…

  • Gratitude 1/28/2021

    Just thinking about how great life is when you can wake up surrounded by family and pets and good food and options for entertainment and personal enrichment that most people in the world only dream about. Sometimes it’s hard to keep things in perspective, but even things I often take for granted are luxuries depending…
