    Grilled Cheese and brownies. [Weird post, huh? Just a dumb thing to write one day, playing with fonts. Keeping it here for posterity.]

  • Autumn seems to have arrived

    For the last week it’s been not as summer-like. It’s like the VWOMP! that is summer heat has just vanished. Into the 80’s is just bearable now, whereas in Summer proper, it’s overwhelming above 72 degrees F. So all temperatures are so-so at worst now. In The South it’s not generally like this until into September…

The image below is part of a mural on one wall inside the brewery, Oktoberfest image. {I had to vignette it because some…

  • The Waiting Game

    What’s bad about cable internet? It goes out sometimes, and lately it sure has. This past Wednesday it was out for a while in the afternoon, threatening my Starhawk Community Night play … but it came back and stayed, thankfully. So last night, I woke up sometime after 2am, no internet. AUGH! In both “no…

      We did have cable internet once and it was super fast for about 3 months, then they started throttling or limited our connection. Could barely bring up google or check email after we reached our limit. It seems only the crappy DSL phone companies have unlimited internet because their service is so slow. Chances are your cable internet will suddenly go back to normal high speed in a week or two. Watching movies eats up a lot of your download allowance.

        We don’t just have cable internet, it’s a Business tier to ensure no caps, throttling, etc.

          Sounds expensive. I’m just thinking about how much time is wasted on slow DSL internet. Adds up to several weeks out of the year.

  • Android 5.1.1 Security Update

    My Nexus 5 was rooted, custom recovery, of course, kept it from updating traditionally when the August 2015 Security Update was downloaded and ready to install. I ended up using ADB to  FASTBOOT the image to my Nexus 5. The Flash-All Bat file didn’t work, I had to line-by-line fastboot send each part of what…

  • Sparkle Unleashed on PSN

    I’ve been playing Sparkle Unleashed, mostly on PS4, and when playing there, I stream it to Twitch. I was a little miffed when I bought the game that all 3 versions: PS4, PS Vita, PS3, share the same trophy list. Sparkle 2, it’s predecessor, had separate trophy lists. So it goes, I only have to…

  • Ladyhawke BD Archive Collection

    There is hope for this problem [my Oct. 8, 2014 post: Ladyhawke (1985)] Earlier this week (5/5/2015) Warner Brothers released Ladyhawke on Blu-ray as part of their Archive Collection. In the US we could only ever buy this movie on DVD or as SD digitally. Now we can actually get a Blu-ray disc of Ladyhawke without…

  • Original Xperia Z3 Compact Tablet power adapter EP880 Dead

    I have had a Sony Xperia Z3 Compact Tablet since December 2014. I’d been using a charging base with original tablet cord and power adapter since the beginning. This past weekend we went on a trip (via self road travel) — I unplugged my charging devices and brought them with me. Unpacking in the hotel,…
